Not sure what you mean by "brand" - dealership? Anyway, both of my headlight connectors (if that's the right word - the part that connects the headlight to the wiring harness) were replaced under warranty. The Kia dealership appeared to be aware of this problem.

We have headlights but no tail lights. We replace the EXT fuse, it just blows right away. Replaced one of the bulbs in the back, tail lights worked but the blinker lights stayed on. When we hit the brake, the left blinker would go on. Now, no left blinker, no tail lights. Just head lights and the right blinker works. Don't know what to do.

#132 of 137 Strange "Door Open" warning about my 2006 Sedona EX by memsway

Feb 28, 2013 (7:49 am)

I have a Kia Sedona EX 2006. When I put key in "ACC" position and knock anywhere plastic cover below steering wheel (see first photo for area I knock), "Door Open" warning sign will blink twice and there is audible beep twice. Knocking anywhere else inside the vehicle would not cause same action. Is this some kind of security feature?
 
On a seperate question, near same area where I can trigger this alarm, there is a cable with two fuses and four or five conductors, is this original manufacturer wiring or aftermarcket add-on? I am asking this before I bought this vehicle used. Please see picture below for more details.
 
Last but not lease, does anyone know if it is possible add "Auto-locks" function into this vehicle? I would like to have all doors locked automatically once I switch to drive gear or beyond certain speed. I called several dealers around, got all kinds of conflicting answers. ">

#133 of 137 KIA Power window by mike1942

Mar 20, 2013 (12:17 pm)

I have 2005 Kia Sedona EX. The passenger side window stopped working, I thought it was the regulator and motor as I had the same problem on the drivers side. I replaced the regulator and nothing happened when I activated the switch on the passenger side or driver's side. I replaced the fuse, nothing, I replaced the switch, nothing. I took the regulator out and attached to the drivers side and it worked perfectly. I took the relay out and neither side worked, I put the relay back in and the drivers side control worked fine for the drivers side only as before. Am I looking at a short in the wiring on that side or is there another option, will a code reader be of any use?

Hi Mike!
 
A code reader wouldn't be of any good. If it's for the window regulator, you should use a wiring schematic/diagram.
