2006-2010 Kia Optima: Engine stalls, belt squeals and battery light comes on when raining.

Tue, 07 May 2024 01:07:18 -0700

My wife’s car is a 2010 Kia Optima. She tells me that when she’s driving in the rain or hits a puddle or a car passes her and splashes water on the passenger side of the vehicle the engine stalls, the steering wheel locks up, the battery light comes on and the belt squeals. The car doesn’t do it when it’s dry. The belts and everything are on the passenger side. I sprayed water on the belt, and other things but can’t get it to do it for me. Any ideas on what the issue may be?

Recently, the passenger tail light went out. The bulbs and fuse were replaced but still don't work. Could it be an electrical harness issue or an issue with the connectors near the fuse box?

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 02:59:38 -0700

I have a 2007 Kia optima and my ABS module is leaking break fluid. My car has ESC. I'm having a hard time finding the part. I've been able to find a few ABS modules without ESC. Can the ESC be reused from my old ABS module or do I need the complete module?
