Before Troubleshooting

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Kia Soul. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box.
  2. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, cleanliness and tight connections.
    NOTE:
    • Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise you will damage the alternator diodes.
    • Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will severely damage the wiring.
  3. Check the alternator belt tension.
