#1913 of 1988 2008 Kia Sorento, aftermarket stereo by parsenic Nov 17, 2008 (7:26 am)
I tried to put a Sony stereo in my '08 Sorento yesterday. It powered up, the SWI-PS worked from the steering wheel, but there was no sound. I talked to crutchfield tech support. they had me hooking up two of the other amp and ant wires. Still no sound. As I had spliced the new set in, I was able to re-connect the old set. No Sound. It was late/cold. I took all the new wiring out and re-connected the old set. Works fine. I think I must have had a bad connection somewhere. Does anyone know exactly what power leads need to be connected where?
#1914 of 1988 Kia Sorento2003 auto shifter lights by dude1h Nov 18, 2008 (2:00 pm)
Hi. I just had my daytime running light module relaced to correct tail lights not working. (106000K so no warranty left) I also have my shifter lights not working, but the KIA dealer where I live says their are no lights on the shifter and to ignore the problem. I know their are lights under the P/N/D buttons etc. Why they would say their are no lights is beyond me. My problem is how to fix the lights. They will turn on if I hit the top of the shifter cover 5 or 6 times, but they do not stay on when I shut the car off and back on again. The back of the shifter dust cover is broken off and I can feel down inside with 2 fingers the light wire under the light assembly, but it feels tight. I cannot figure out how to get the shifter cover off to see if the connector I cannot reach is tight or not. Any help would be appreciated. Dave

Replying to: security1965 (Dec 07, 2008 9:34 am) I am very happy with my diesel manual sorento. However, it has begun to hesitate occasionally when the accelerator is depressed. It feels just like it is running out of fuel and then it takes off normally. This is NOT turbo lag. I have asked my dealer about it. He says others have reported the same problem but they cannot isolate a cause either on the diagnostic computer or otherwise. It is a sporadic problem. It is scary when it cuts out just when you need the power! I wonder how many others have this problem and has anyone found a solution???

#1919 of 1988 wiper arms/belts by frustrated2 Jan 18, 2009 (6:05 am)
Once again having continued problems with my 05 kia sorento. Tried to get rid of it last year but due to only being offered 3k for it I decided to keep it thru this winter. Not sure right choice but anyway. can anyone tell me if there is a place to buy kia parts cheap instead of thru dealor. dont want new expensive parts on a car that is worth nothing. My wiper arms do not sit on the windshield. Last year had it fix but only after it blew the motor that was already replaced twice. now they are telliing me i need new wiper arms. someone mentioned going to a junk yard which i will try but if unsuccessful i was hoping to find other places to try and also wondering if ANYONE else had this isssue and if it is the wiper arms itself or another problems. i have been dealing and paying for this issue for 2 yrs. also just had all belts replace and now they are telling me the belts are junk (at another mechanic i trust obviously not a kia dealor) and i need to replace them (not the timing belt). they squelled ever since they were put on about 3 months ago. any help extremely thankful. renee Replies to this message: pao (Jan 19, 2009 4:41 am) frustrated2 (Jan 19, 2009 7:00 am) frustrated2 (Jan 19, 2009 7:34 am) pao (Jan 19, 2009 5:30 pm)

Replying to: frustrated2 (Jan 18, 2009 6:05 am) is it the arms or the wipers themselves....as far as the belts....why is the mechanic telling you they are junk.....frayed, cracked, manufacturer????? as far as they are squealing....that is a tension adjustment.....has nothing to do with the belts themselves.....do a google for kia parts....many online auto parts dealers are much cheaper....try rockauto .com Replies to this message: frustrated2 (Jan 19, 2009 7:00 am) frustrated2 (Jan 19, 2009 7:34 am) pao (Jan 19, 2009 5:30 pm)

Replying to: pao (Jan 19, 2009 4:41 am) It is the wiper arms. not sitting flat on windshield. as for belts, I asked specifically what was wrong with them frayed,etc they told me they are just cheap parts and they are going to squeal (bought at advanced auto but kia put them on). Just doesnt sound right but I dont know enough about cars. All I know is ever since they were put on they squealled. thanks for suggestion for rockauto.com!! god knows I put enough money into this vehicle already. thanks again

Replying to: pao (Jan 19, 2009 4:41 am) would they not see that the tensioner was bad when they put the belts on?? Or should I say is that a part needed or just something they need to adjust? thanks again Replies to this message: pao (Jan 19, 2009 5:30 pm)
