Kia optima radio and cd player stopped

If the radio worked before replacing battery and alternator, check your wiring.

check the ac fuse or relay.

Your battery may be weak, or becoming dead celled!! Replace it with a new one and if the problem persists, replace the alternator!

Sounds like a loose belt for the alternator. (Or old and dry)

im having the same problem but with an 03 did you find out what was wrong

It could be the battery cables are loose or battery od alternator problem!

we are also having a similar probelm email address is [email protected] ~

our experience car stopped starting after battery light has been flickering intermittently. battery has been replaced. took alternator off and it tested fine. tested bad when on kia. they said check fusible link. no clue.

check make sure battery is 12.5 volts.if not battery is weak need replacing.have alternator checked out if battery is low.besure to turn off radio.to keep from losing radio playing code.if you need to replace battery.if battery is good.check for fuel pump operation.turn ignition on listen to see if fuel pump running.if no check fuse and relay.if both is good have car scanned for pcm trouble codes and faulty fuel pump code.if all is good.you could have faulty mass air flow sensor or bad ignition components.

Have the altenator checked.

It seems the starter is playing up.First check if your battery is charged fully or try to jump start and see what happens.If the engine start then it's either you need a new battery or else you need a replacement alternator.Test using a voltmeter if the actual altenator is working.Finally the last option is the starter motor that needs changing or fixing...Hope this helps.
