Try the master cylinder if that's not it try the brake booster, but first bleed all the brake lines starting with the driver rear then move forward if no pedal then proceed to master and booster

SOURCE: the Abs light came on and will not go out after i

This is just a consequential event. the ABS sensor module was probably going out and decide the trigger the alarm at the same time you initiated the hard brake during travel. replacing or resetting this sensor module Will fix this issue. the light will go off as well.


Please rate and god bless.

SOURCE: 2005 KIA Optima EX 8-way power seat problem

Hi there,

There are numbers of possible causes to your problem. There might be something causing the movable parts to stuck up. It could be the limit switch, or the motor itself. To test the motor, you can connect it directly to the battery then check if the motor runs smoothly. Then reverse the connection and observe if it reverse smoothly. If the motor is OK, then your problem is with the switch...

2004 kia optima,break lights stay on,taillights will not come on,bulbs are ok

It sounds as if your brake light switch is bad, or, your brake pedal return spring isn't pulling the pedal back towards the seat.

First, just pull up on the brake pedal, opposite direction of when you are applying them & see if the lights go off. If yes, you'll need a new return spring. If not, then usually the switch mounted up above the pedal is defective & needs to be replaced.

I believe once that is corrected, the lights should work properly if your parking lights are working, as they both use the same circuit. If not, you'll have to do some testing of those wires & backtrack to the light switch.

The Brake light switch also can have the cruise control switch & other controls associated with it but not always, depending on the specific Model & Year & other options so testing it could require a wiring diagram, I've included a link that will give you the wiring colors for the brake light switch itself. Testing the wiring is the only way to determine any other condition that would be causing that to happen.

Here's the link for the wiring:
http://www.commandocaralarms.com/wiring/2003-2005/Kia/Optima/893.html

It shows the brake switch wires as GREEN.
Good Luck.

Had front brakes changed on my 2005 kia sportage now the ads brake ligh and the regular brake light won't go off

Depending on how much brake work was done, either the wheel sensors have been damaged or were not properly reconnected. The regular brake warning light may be on because the ABS is disabled at the moment. Fixing the ABS problem may extinguish the standard warning light too. I suspect the brakes are working but not as an ABS-equipped system.
If you have one of the auto parts chain stores near you, take it to them for a free scan of yoru computer; the error code it finds may be more specific that the ABS warning light.

ABS LIGHT STAYS ON SPORTAGE 2003

Hi

This could be a dirty or faulty wheel sensor, a faulty ABS pump, or a faulty ABS computer.

You could try cleaning the wheel sensors by spraying them with brake cleaner, and if this doesn't rectify the problem then a garage can read out the ABS fault codes and tell you what the problem is.

Sometimes just a reset is enough to clear it.

Regards

Geordie
