Since we're asking questions, my 2014 Kia soul headlights and dash lights will flicker, even when not touching turn signal switch or headlight switch. Think its the same issue? Should I replace both sides?
My headlights sometimes go out when I flip the right turn signal. Jiggling the switch gets them to come back on. I'm thinking to replace the switch but, I'm not sure if this is the problem or could it be something else?
It should be a single piece. As far as if you can reconnect them, you might be able to. What broke? The plastic tabs? Honestly, the switches aren’t too expensive, especially if you order an aftermarket one. I’d probably save the headache and just replace.
Since you reattached the shroud after replacing the wheel, one wonders if it is possible to replace the stalks without removing the wheel at all? Sure, removing the cables and releasing the clips on the stalks may be a little more tricky.
If you notice, the top screw holding the multifunction switch is directly behind the clock spring. You would not be able to remove this screw without removing the clock spring. Only way to remove the clock spring, is to remove the steering wheel.
Great guide but now I'm getting squeaking when I move the wheel (not slightly more like If I was making a full turn or UTurn. Did I goof up the clock spring? I was sure I put it on right
+Laura Newton I would double check that the plastic steering well cover is installed correctly. If the tangs don't line up properly it can cause a noise issue. If the clock spring was damaged the airbag light would be on, the horn would not function, and the steering wheel buttons would not function. Also check to make sure the clock spring is fully pushed back.
Thank You for this. I have a 2014 Sportage, Turn signal switch has gotten lazy and won't return to neutral after a left turn. I am replacing but I was just wondering if I don't have any steering wheel controls then I don't have that clock spring correct?
Yeah, The Kia is a 2015, the bag is different than a soul. requires a T40 to release. I messed with it a bit today & saw the ring. Looks like a pretty straightforward deal. BTW I used pop steering wheels by hitting the end of the steering shaft with a dead blow.
I have a 2012 kia sportage and the driver side tail light does not work. I replaced bulbs and nothing. I can get it to work but once I close the hatchback it shuts off again, I have a brake light and turn signal on that side but the tail light will not work, also I can see it get power for just a split second than turn off. Could this be a indicator of a bad headlight turn signal switch?
Sounds like an issue with your wiring. More than likely the bulb socket itself. You can use a 90* pick to pull out the contacts and see if that cures your issue.
Great video. I have Kia Forte 2016 w/out fog lights, I'm planning to install turn signal lever with fog light option. Does my original wire connector fits the new turn signal lever with fog light option? Thank you!
+TheLastBear Yes and No. It will plug in. But there will be no corresponding terminals on the harness side of the plug. You would have to install the terminals into the harness connector and run that to a relay. Then have the relay power the fog lights. How is you electrical knowledge?
Could you go into more detail about the entire process? Especially about changing the terminals in the harness connector. I'm planning to do the same with my 2017 Kia Forte. Is this difficult? @Projectlife2023
I had to do the same repair, the headlights would flicker when using the turn signal. I checked continuity in the switch and it's all over the place for all the pins. It's a wonder the switch works at all.
Assholes tried to steal my car and broke the wiper switch. Would the process to replace that be similar or can it be done without taking off the steering wheel? What is the estimate on a job like this (I’m wondering what a fair price would be, parts included because I don’t want to take it to a dealer that is going to charge an arm and a leg).
Sorry to hear about your situation. I no longer work for Kia, but the process should be the same and it’s not too difficult of a process. As far as pricing, I honestly couldn’t tell you. As a technician I just did the work, I never really paid attention to prices.
Hi, thanks for the great video. I have a 2011 Kia Rondo and I am hearing a rapid clicking noise from near the turn signal indicator on my car, even when the indicator arm is in the center (off) position. The turn signals work normally and the noise stops when signaling. When in the center position, the signal lights are not flashing, just the rapid clicking noise. If I push up slightly on the signal arm, the noise stops. Any idea what possible issues could this indicate? Thank you!
Thanks for the video. A friend of mine has a Soul, and when she depresses this switch to turn on the high beams, they will sometimes flicker on & off while she's driving. Also, the front left turn signal bulb occasionally doesn't flash, even though I know it's a brand new bulb. Do you think these issues could be related to the turn signal switch going bad? Or a problem with the wiring harness? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Could be the switch or the clock spring. I’ve seen both be a factor. If it has issues while turning the steering wheel, then it’s the clock spring. If not, it’s the switch assembly.
Ok, I ordered the part, I just know from the video you did that you took off the airbag and I wasn't sure if that would make the airbag light come on. If it does come on, how do I get it to go off?
+Nater Tater It depends why it is on in the 1st place. I would scan the vehicle to see what airbag code it had. That would give direction for further diagnostics.
Hi great video. Does the 2011 hyundai tucson/ix35 have the same setup for the headlight switch? My fog lights do not turn on anymore. It only works if the high beam is on. Thanks!
is there a certain way it should be done, bc i tried it a couple times and the wheel still didn’t unlock, can i take out those screws before hand? or no
Well you are not going to have power steering when the engine isn’t running. So unless the vehicle is in the air on jackstands, there should be some resistance.
Hi, I just replaced the turn signal switch on my 2013 Kia Soul. Before I replaced it today, every time I tried the Left blinker it would pop the 10A fuse. The Right blinkers work with a good fuse. So I unplugged the left headlight assembly thinking it might be there, but it still pops the fuse. I did the same in the rear light, still pops the fuse. So I thought it was the signal switch and replaced it but it is still popping the fuse when I hit the blinker lever down. Any suggestions?
Let me pull up a schematic tomorrow at work and gather some thoughts. The fuse would only blow if the current draw surpasses the fuse rating. This is going to be caused by unwanted resistance. Such as a socket that has arcing or corrosion. Let me ask you this, with both the headlamp assembly and taillight assembly unplugged, does the fuse still blow?
This morning, first, I unplugged both LEFT headlight and taillight assembly, I tried the left blinker and it blinked fast, I was excited. Turned key off, replugged both and it worked, until I tried the Hazard and then it popped again. Unplugged both assembly, put in new fuse, tried left signal with both unplugged and it popped the fuse. Can it be the RELAY ASSY-STOP SIGN, part number 95240-1P100, I am not a mechanic, just trying to troubleshoot and figure out why this is happening. The Kia dealership said the left headlight assembly is aftermarket and that could be the problem, but it all worked this morning for a few minutes until I hit the Hazards to see if they would blink.
Well, i unplugged the RELAY 95240-1P100 and the right signal worked but the left popped the fuse, so i plugged it back in and eliminated that option I guess. Went through more unplug front and try the blinker, nope. Unplug back and try the blinker, nope. unplug both and try the blinker, nope. Went thru about 5 more 10A fuses but had to try. I'm out of thoughts and have no clue. Stopped by and auto electric garage, guy says it may be a pinched wire somewhere. Once again, I'm lost to what it may be. But it did work this morning until I pressed the Hazard. I had a moment of hope lol. Maybe I should have left it alone when it was working.
Ok, one more update. I disconnected the negative side of the battery for about 15 minutes while checking the connection of the headlight assembly. I ensured all 9 connections were good to the assembly. I reconnected the battery, put another 10A fuse in, and the LEFT blinker works and all the lights work. I DID not push the Hazard light, not going to either. HOWEVER, I have a ABS and traction symbol warning on after I start the car and they won't go away. This is crazy, or at least I have no clue what's going on. Any suggestions?
Not sure why your ABS and traction control light would be on after simply disconnecting the battery. You would have to have a scan tool read the codes to see what errors it’s posting. You can also try a capacitor discharge. Disconnect the negative battery cable and remove it completely from the battery. Then use a wrench to jump between the negative battery cable (NOT the negative battery post) to the positive battery post. This discharges any electricity left in the vehicle in capacitors.
Great video , I have a question I want to add fog lights to my kia soul is there anything else I need to do after I install the blinker switch with the fog light option or is the wiring already on the harness? thanks
+rc nuckinfuts The wiring harnesses are vehicle specific. Meaning there won't be any wiring for fog lights. Still not difficult to install. However, there will not be any connections for the lights.
My Kia Forte's headlights flash when I activate the left turn signal, is the procedure similar on both cars? (*EDIT: Can confirm this is the same process on a Kia Forte!)
My azera 2012 fog light switch have a play in it . Which cause headlights on/off it self . Is it possible that only turn signal stick will change instead of complete switch..
After this procedure, the left signal would intermittently not cancel. The right signal always cancels. So I got a second replacement (different vendor) and the same thing, intermittent left turn cancel. Put the original (bad headlight switch) back on, consistent correct cancelling. Third replacement coming from NAPA, the other two go back to Amazon.
+MoNsTeR420x1 The switch could be shorted itself. I would check continuity on the pins on the multi-switch while the switch is in the right turn signal position (switch unplugged of course) check for continuity between the output for the right turn signal and the output for the left turn signal. However, the fact that it doesn't happen in the left turn signal position would also lead me to believe it may not be a short at all. A short to power would cause both circuits to be activated regardless of which is turned on. Check a schematic, I believe the multi-switch goes to the BCM or IPM to handle the turn signals/hazards and could very well be the issue at hand. Best of luck.
Hi I have an issue with all my parking lights not being able to turn on. I have a 2014 Kia Soul 2.0l it has the led bulbs. When I turn the switch to the first click, it makes a short high pitch buzzing noise, no parking lights turn on and the license plate light doesn’t turn on too. It has the LED type bulbs. I’ve been on the KiaSoul forum looking for help to solve this issue. It’s not a ground issue, others stated it might be a column switch or a column plug. That’s how I landed on this video. Need help. I live in Hawaii and my safety check is coming up soon. It’s been like this for about 8 months.
I no longer work for KIA, but be sure to check fuses as the parking lights will be a separate circuit and should have their own fuse separate from the headlights.
So my gf wiper switch snapped and is hanging by cables do you have to remove the steering wheel entirely to swap those our it seemed all you had to do was hit the lever to pull the switch off is that only accessible once everythings completly off or if i had small enough tools could i just pop those screws out drop the bottom cover and swap it out?
I have a kia soul my headlights and dash lights flicker off and back on when I'm driving it happens when I mess with my turning switch could that be the cause of it
Thank you very much!...so much helpful the video, really!...very clear and direct in your explanation, question, which is the torque nut manufacture especification in this SUV?, i dont know, i have a Tucson 2011 its the same process you show, but i need the torque, thanks for yor help!
I have a 2011 kia Optima and fog lights stopped working then came back on when use right turn signal then back off ,do I need to pull steering wheel to replace switch??
Got this same problem on a 2012 cerato (forte). Can anyone advise if a switch replacement needed or try other electrical troubleshooting that might be easier?
Hello, your video is very informative and I appreciate the detail; I just wanted to ask if this applies to my car. My left parking light remains on after the car has been turned off (Kia Soul 2011) . I turned the auto lights off and it went out, but the next morning the battery needed a jump. I was wondering if this applies to my issue? Thank you for a response.
No problem. If your battery continues to drain over night, you can isolate if the switch is the concern by following this video and unplugging the switch. If the battery doesn't die overnight, then you have isolated the issue. The more proper way would be to do an actual parasitic draw test. However, this would allow you to in fact isolate it to the switch assembly itself. Please note, that if you vehicle is still within the manufactures 5 year/60k bumper to bumper warranty, it would be in your best interest to just take it to your local dealership for diagnostics and repair if needed. Best of luck and please let me know what was found to be the concern. Take care.
See if your blinker was left at a turn position (and not the neutral position). I had another vehicle in which one of the parking lights would stay on even if everything was turned off, and it would depend on which turn direction the blinker was latched to.
Oh man, I was hoping it wouldn’t be where you have to remove the steering wheel… 😰 I was wondering why the dealership wants $500 to replace a $60 part. I was like, I’ll just do it myself…. Nope
I only recommend doing it if you feel comfortable doing it. I don’t feel it is a difficult job, but you do need to make sure you tighten the steering wheel nut tightly. You don’t want that coming loose when you’re driving.
Also 6 minutes in you remove the clock spring without telling us or showing us how. After the fact you say there were some tabs but don’t tell or show us where they are.
I just swapped mine. Great instructional video. Thank you!!!
“Tighten it to specifications “ hits it with an impact 😅 Thanks for the video!

Since we're asking questions, my 2014 Kia soul headlights and dash lights will flicker, even when not touching turn signal switch or headlight switch. Think its the same issue? Should I replace both sides?
I'm having this issue too. Mostly when using the turn signal or brights.
I’m replacing my blinker side now because of this issue
@@Crickle12 did it fix issue?
@@Juli_Mm It did!
This looks very similar to a kia soul 2012 n you made that look so simple

You’re welcome. I hope it was helpful.
@@Projectlife2023 such a fuzzy feeling getting a reply to your post three years later. 😀
A change in career required my full attention.
Hello, just changing the switch gave her car auto headlights? Did the car already have the sensor in the dash to detect day and night light levels?
Is the airbag holes in back because on my forte there are no holes on the side
Thanks for the video but I was wondering if I have no power to washer pump and fuse is good the problem could be in the switch. thanks
It could be the switch, wiring to the switch, wiring to the washer pump, or a faulty pump.
My headlights sometimes go out when I flip the right turn signal. Jiggling the switch gets them to come back on. I'm thinking to replace the switch but, I'm not sure if this is the problem or could it be something else?
Definitely the switch.
Do you know, is everything assembled relatively the same on a 2016 Sedona? It looks really similar.
Yes
Thank you!
You are welcome.
When replacing turn signal switch does it have to programmed?
No programming required.
Is it broken completely if the top half came off the left switch…. It looks like it can easily be reconnected but can’t find anything on it
It should be a single piece. As far as if you can reconnect them, you might be able to. What broke? The plastic tabs? Honestly, the switches aren’t too expensive, especially if you order an aftermarket one. I’d probably save the headache and just replace.
Is this a similar procedure for 2015 kia sedona van with blinker issues?
Yes. Same.
Very good video...

Sounds like an issue with your wiring. More than likely the bulb socket itself. You can use a 90* pick to pull out the contacts and see if that cures your issue.
Does not sound like a turn signal switch concern.
Is this the same steps for a kia rondo?

Could be that you don't have your light switch turned to the AUTO or OFF selection. Or a possible short in the switch.
How much is this job typically at a shop?
Typically 1.5 hours of labor. So whatever your local hourly labor is. Here it is $180/hr.
Thanks very helpful-!!!
You’re welcome. Thank you for the feedback.
What was the reason for replacing the switch? I’m having an issue with headlight coming on and off by there self.
what vehicle do you have?
That’s the reason. Headlight control was sporadic. Also sometimes the turn signal would not function.
i put disconnected the battery and put the key in the ignition, but my steering wheel wont turn, any idea why that is?
Your steering wheel is probably locked. It’s an antitheft feature. Rock the steering wheel left and right while you turn the key forward.
is there a certain way it should be done, bc i tried it a couple times and the wheel still didn’t unlock, can i take out those screws before hand? or no

So my gf wiper switch snapped and is hanging by cables do you have to remove the steering wheel entirely to swap those our it seemed all you had to do was hit the lever to pull the switch off is that only accessible once everythings completly off or if i had small enough tools could i just pop those screws out drop the bottom cover and swap it out?
It is encased (surrounded) and will not come off without damaging components if you do not remove the steering wheel.
I have a kia soul my headlights and dash lights flicker off and back on when I'm driving it happens when I mess with my turning switch could that be the cause of it
nicholas001 have you fixed your problem yet? I have the same going on with my soul 2014. Please let me know how it went. Thanks.
I could be. The switches on the Kia Souls are a known problem.
Is your vehicle still within the manufactures 5 year/60k warranty?
RealTechReview got it. It was the switch. Thanks!
I'm having the same problem. What is the average cost for a mechanic to replace this?
Thank you very much!...so much helpful the video, really!...very clear and direct in your explanation, question, which is the torque nut manufacture especification in this SUV?, i dont know, i have a Tucson 2011 its the same process you show, but i need the torque, thanks for yor help!
Torque nut? You mean the lug nut for the wheels???
Or do you mean the steering column nut?
Very helpful
I have a 2011 kia Optima and fog lights stopped working then came back on when use right turn signal then back off ,do I need to pull steering wheel to replace switch??
Got this same problem on a 2012 cerato (forte). Can anyone advise if a switch replacement needed or try other electrical troubleshooting that might be easier?
@@reubenramkhelawan9103 for me was my multifunction switch i made a youtube vid on the replacement if you search for 2011 kia optima fog light problem
Yes. Switch replacement would be needed.
Ronnie, the steering wheel and clock spring need to be removed to replace the multifunction switch. Yes.
Hello, your video is very informative and I appreciate the detail; I just wanted to ask if this applies to my car. My left parking light remains on after the car has been turned off (Kia Soul 2011) . I turned the auto lights off and it went out, but the next morning the battery needed a jump. I was wondering if this applies to my issue? Thank you for a response.
+kay glo Well, it could. But it more sounds like a possible short issue or parasitic draw.
Thank you sir for your reply; much appreciated.
No problem. If your battery continues to drain over night, you can isolate if the switch is the concern by following this video and unplugging the switch. If the battery doesn't die overnight, then you have isolated the issue. The more proper way would be to do an actual parasitic draw test. However, this would allow you to in fact isolate it to the switch assembly itself. Please note, that if you vehicle is still within the manufactures 5 year/60k bumper to bumper warranty, it would be in your best interest to just take it to your local dealership for diagnostics and repair if needed. Best of luck and please let me know what was found to be the concern. Take care.
See if your blinker was left at a turn position (and not the neutral position). I had another vehicle in which one of the parking lights would stay on even if everything was turned off, and it would depend on which turn direction the blinker was latched to.
Also work for a 2017 Kia soul I just broke the arm off
Yes.
nice video
Oh man, I was hoping it wouldn’t be where you have to remove the steering wheel… 😰 I was wondering why the dealership wants $500 to replace a $60 part. I was like, I’ll just do it myself…. Nope
I only recommend doing it if you feel comfortable doing it. I don’t feel it is a difficult job, but you do need to make sure you tighten the steering wheel nut tightly. You don’t want that coming loose when you’re driving.
I need to do this to my kia sedona lx 2008,
I really wish you had shown us a shot of the 3 holes your talking about, rather than just saying “it’s hard to explain”
Also 6 minutes in you remove the clock spring without telling us or showing us how. After the fact you say there were some tabs but don’t tell or show us where they are.
I don't think you need to take out the steering wheel for that... just the plastic cover..
+vale ale If you watch the complete video you will see that removing the steering wheel is necessary. Thanks for the input.
you shouldn't use a metal screwdriver to separate the plastics, that damage and mark it. Small details of a "amateur" mechanic
And you are a professional mechanic? Your videos would not suggest that. There is no damage to the plastics if you know what you are doing. lol.
Bad view
You are welcome to make a better one.
Just wiggle it?? Didn't say what holes you wiggle in
“Tighten it to specifications “ hits it with an impact 😅 Thanks for the video!
Is this similar to the Kia forte?
Yes. Similar enough.
