- Is your Kia draining its battery overnight? Mark gets a low mileage 2020 Kia Sorento back from the dealer after 10 days that was in for a battery drain problem. The car's systems checked out but it still had the drain. After Mark checks all the systems he finds one little thing the owner's manual tells a customer to never do.
Same here!
Our 2021 Kia Sorento has a mysterious battery drain, too. The small side indicator light by the headlight keeps coming on even when the car is off and the fob is nowhere around. We noticed this phenomenon intermittently and tried fiddling with the lights and switches but couldn't figure it out. Finally, one day, the vehicle was just dead. We had it towed to the dealer, and they couldn't figure it out, but we had to buy a new battery. I think this light caused the drain, but Kia did not agree. We've had the car for less than three years. So frustrating. We also had transmission trouble with this car, and it was in the shop for almost FOUR months. Additionally, we had to replace the windshield after a mysterious hairline crack appeared.
Thank you Thank you,
Wow! I'm on my fifth battery in my 2015 Kia Sorento. It's been a mystery since I bought it new. Kia couldn't find the problem. Six local shops couldn't find the problem. Now, perhaps this video has solved the mystery. Nice.
My 2018 Rav4 dies every week and has to be jumped.
So vanity was Kia’s greatest sin
I have this exact same problem in a 2016 Sorento sx. Random fully battery drain happens every 5-6 months. From Newfoundland
Hit key on fob and the doors did not unlock, unlocked it manually, tried to start but it was dead - no lights on dash. Got out and closed the door and the horn started blowing - realized I had left my keys in the ignition so I jumped back in, pulled the key out and hit the unlock button. The lights then came back on the dash and the car started…WTH…checked and vanity mirrors were closed…anyone have any ideas?
We have a 2023 carnival that is randomly dying. It's a nightmare. Our vanity mirror has an on/off switch so they knew it was a problem and possibly fixed it. Anyways drove the van for 2 days and this morning it's dead again🙃
Awesome! Thank you!!! I would imagine this applies to both visors/mirrors?
Thank you so much for this video. I never would have figured this out. Came out to a dead as a doornail battery a couple times.
I'm having battery drain issue as well on a new 2023 k5. Was really hoping this was the issue but it happened 5 times already and I'm only at 5k miles
I noticed the headlight switch is in the Auto position, which is what I have been doing for years. Two days ago, I came out to the car and found the parking lights were on, but the leadlight switch is still in Auto. Apparently, we need to keep this in the Off position as well to avoid a battery drain. Oh, I also found the tailgate light being in the Door position caused a battery drain.
I just found this on my kia and ur video was extremely helpful!!!! I immediately lowered my visor and saw the mirror with the light on. Was a facepalm moment for me haha
Holy smokes. I have replaced my battery 6 times in my 2014 Kia Soul. I was using the mirror yesterday and I didn't shut it - I distinctly remember thinking that it was silly to shut it when I can just flip up the sun visor.
I have a Kia Sedona. I sure hope this is the problem; if so, I thank you sooooo much for posting this! I do have the sliding right passenger door automatically opening though too, it was replaced and still happening. I shut the auto door off but who knows. Still much appreciated!
In my 2015 kia cerato daily at night the battery is down what is the issues I can't understand and I changed 5 new battery can you solve this dear please
I have a 2015 Kia Soul and the battery keeps dying every few nights. None of my lights are on. I turn off the headlights and have the interior and mirror lights set to off. What can I do to fix this?
Thank you so much this just solved a problem with my 2018 Kia Sorento Sx.
Fingers crossed here! I just got 2023 KIA K5 GT and my battery has been dying. I know for a fact I left this little door open on the vanity mirror and currently waiting for roadside. Hoping this is all it is, great find, but such a design flaw.
