2006 Kia SORENTO Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	890538

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My 2006 kia sorento has 96000 miles on it and it seems that the head light or electrical system has a short in it. The head light will go off but you if you tap the head light assembly it will come back on as if there is a short in the electrical system. Also, the dome light will come on if you turn it to the on position but if you put it on the door position it does not come on when the door is open. Again that would be a failure in the electrical system. The kia will not start after replacing a headlight bulb. I know that sounds like they are not related but the head light went out so i replaced it and then i wouldn't start right after changing the light.
