Marker light will not shut off!! Help! :(
My wife has a 2011 Kia Sorento EX and tonight the turn signal stopped working for the left side. When you put the left turn signal on, it will blink once and that is it. Right side works fine. So when she got home and shut the vehicle off. The front left parking light stayed on. I think the blinker maybe on also because it seems a bit brighter than normal. I hit the remote to lock the doors and all the blinkers will flash but that one front left one. I had to remove the light this evening because if i didn't it will kill the battery. Anybody have any info on this issue?

Re: Marker light will not shut off!! Help! :(
I would try unplugging the flasher unit if this stops the bleed I would replace. Other try removing the hazard relay. If this stops the bleed replace.
You can use a DVOM set to milliamp scale. With the ground disconnected measure draw as each fuse is pulled. Any draw above 35 milliamps will drain a battery. When fuse is found use a wiring diagram and one item at a time until problem is found. This is the way I found a bad ETACS unit on my vehicle. |

And, rhandwor, which model do you have ? I have a 2015 2.4 GDI. Update: well, at 15$, it was a low risk...so I have it. Main problem is there is no table of contents... ...correction, there is one, in the bookmarks button on the left of the pdf document.

Kia used to provide a manual on line. I think it was downloaded from this service. Some UK Kia's are Diesel I would ask if it covers gas engines. Mine also is hard to use but contains needed information. I have a 2006 Kia Sorento. |

Use google
Ask where is flasher unit located on a 2011 kia sorento. It shows a picture which it looks like pulling the instrument panel. This is not as hard as it sounds. |

SO I have downloaded the manual from the site you suggested. What I see more than anythig is EVERYTHING goes through a computer , wipers, flashers, etc.....leaving very little room for innovation and shortcuts, that I was used to with hard wiring of yesteryears... My main concern (at this time) is I wanted to be able to disable ABS in certain cases, which is totally inefficient in snow conditions , as experimented by a lot in snow countries. Was easy before, but with all of that going through irritable computer , not sure if it would generate a condition that would have to be cleared by the KIA dealer...something I would not want....anyway, still learning with my new car...not bad so far!

Did some more testing, it is the turn signal staying on constant when the vehicle is off, everything been checked, switched a few things. Everything is leaning towards the IPM. I really think that is the issue.

I noticed on another forum weak ground at front lamp. Another one disconnected battery sprayed every crevice with electrical contact
cleaner. waited 1/2 hour before connecting battery. Check where harness goes thru firewall. |
