Might be the switch - there isn't really enough current going through the switch to keep it clean with computerised cars...

It is worth checking the bulbs first - far from unknown for both to fail together. Check the fuse. Serious troubleshooting would need a wiring diagram.

SOURCE: green indicator light on 1998 kia sportage

That light sounds like a differential lock or 4-wheel drive. This is usually found in 4-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. Being the light is "GREEN" and not amber or red tells me that it's not an abnormal problem.

Look around your dashboard or gearshifter for a button labeled 4x4 HI, 4x4 LO, 4x2 HI. sport/off road button, or a second, smaller shifter. Switch them around a little, and if it is a 4x4 selector, be sure when you drive on paved roads to have it set to 4x2 HI. 4x4 HI should only be used if you get stuck to help you get out (snow/mud) and 4x4 LO is only for off road driving (trail blazing/rock climbing/4-wheeling/mud bogging,etc.)

Also, check for any switches labled "DIFF LOCK" or 'AXLE LOCK". In most cars a green light is normal operations.

I hope I could help you find a solution to your problem.

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: parking brake for 2002 kia sportage

The park brake is the same on all vehicles. Usually on the driver side when you follow the cable, there will be an adjuster in the middle of the line. Turn to the right to tighten and left to loosten.

SOURCE: had front brakes changed on my 2005 kia sportage

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.

Cruise control doesnt work

I know this sounds crazy, but have you checked to see if all of your lights illuminate? My 2007 Sportage had a burned out brake light, then the cruise dtopped working also. I thought it was just getting ready to start systematically breaking down, piece by piece. As soon as I replaced the brake light, however, the cruise instantly began working again! I figured it was some strange way of Kia letting me know if I was missing a brake light. No guarantees, but it might be worth cheking out.

Cruise control light comes on but will not set. as soon as 80km is reached light goes out and will not come on again untill ignition is switched off. Brake lights all working fine. 2009 Kia Sportage...

Well Im hoping that by telling you to check your cruise control wiring and vacuum routing for broken, unplugged wires or vacuum hoses you just might find that a simple vacuum line is in need of attention. good luck
