| Description of the problem | I have a 2016 kia sedona and sometimes while driving at night either on the freeway or city street my headlights flicker off and on, sometimes they won't turn back on until i turn the lights switch. It started 2 years ago but now it has been happening more frequently. Also, while my van is parked and the engine is off the headlights are turning on by themselves. I keep my switch on auto. I make sure my lights turn off before leaving the van but then i come back and they are on. This is the second time it has done that. I have to carry a battery charger now just in case i won't be able to start my van. |
