#60 of 64 Re: 2009 Sedona Electrical Issues [phil78] by pl411 Jul 14, 2009 (12:05 pm)
Replying to: phil78 (Jul 09, 2009 10:37 am) On my 2006, there is a button to enable and disable the electric doors. It is located on the overhead console and is easy to hit. It is possible you accidentally hit that button and there is nothing actually wrong with the van.   I do not know what "PDI" means. Replies to this message: phil78 (Jul 14, 2009 6:34 pm)

Replying to: pl411 (Jul 14, 2009 12:05 pm) PDI stands for "pre-delivery inspection." According to the dealer, some cars on the lot have not yet undergone this inspection, so they may need to have certain fuses installed or some systemes activated. However, since everything worked at first, I can't believe the dealer's explanation. I wish the dealer had brought up your suggestion, so I could have checked this at the time. If we go back, I will try to check for this possibility.   Thanks for your input!
#62 of 64 no start by david5000 Jul 18, 2009 (6:00 am)
I have driven my 2006 for 80,000 miles. My problem started at about 70,000 miles. After some start and stop driving, ie shopping or errands, the van will not start. When the key is inserted the radio works, the door chime is on, and the overhead lights work but when I turn the key... nothing. No click, no noise, nothing. Once the van sits overnight it will then start and I can drive it around, there is no lose of power and everything seems to be working fine. I pulled the starter off and cleaned all the carbon off, I thought this would help but the not starting happened again. . Before I take it to the dealer, HELP!
#63 of 64 turning key sometimes interrupts electric power (eg resets clock) by jirka Aug 30, 2009 (5:38 pm)
Few days ago it started to do a weird thing:   I put the key in, the instrument panel lights and seat bell chime go on as they should, I turn the key and all goes off, wIthout even making an attempt to turn on the starter. Even the odometer goes blank. So far it has happened 3-times in 3 days. When I take the key out, and put it back in, it starts without problems (so it does not look like a dying battery) The clock is reset to 12:00. I have to take the key out, simply turning it into the OFF position and then trying again does not help.   I would be grateful for any advice...   The car is Kia 2007 Sedona EX, 20,000 miles on it.

Replying to: irritatrix (Jun 15, 2009 9:49 pm) Just a follow-up...my electrical issue seems to be fixed. My dealer does not know what they did to fix it, but apparently pulling all the computer modules for the electrical system and re-installing them helped. I just returned from a 2000 mile road trip and the van performed flawlessly. And it was so comfortable; I drove many hours a day and never felt fatigued.   Now I need to find out what the weird sound coming from the valves at 3000 miles is.
