01 Kia Sportage 4x4 DEAD No start No power Needs jumpstart everytime
I turn the key – nothing – no power – no lights – no clock - completely dead.
The only way to get it started is to jump it. After it is started it runs fine till I shut it off – then it goes completely dead – flatline No matter if I shut it off for a long time or a short time - same thing. No matter if its hot or cold - same thing - dead. The battery is good The alternator is good The starter is good Terminals are clean Any ideas? Last edited by HPYUNBDAY; 06-01-2010 at 03:37 AM. |

The battery is good
Terminals are clean One of these is the problem.... Verify voltage at the battery posts ..then at the fuse block ...with light switch turned ON. And..after you have boost started , measure voltage at battery post..the very battery post, not the connector..should read above 14 volts to prove alternator charges....and that amps are actually delivered to the battery. Corroded wiring occurs....
