Some Kia Rondo owners report experiencing starting issues despite having functional radio and lights, which may indicate several underlying problems. A dead battery is a common culprit, as insufficient charge can prevent the engine from starting. Additionally, some owners have encountered alternator problems, where a faulty alternator fails to provide the necessary power to start the vehicle. Others have reported failed starters that prevent the engine from cranking, even when other electrical components are operational. Ignition switch issues have also been noted, leading to a no crank condition. Furthermore, some owners have experienced difficulties due to faulty or corroded battery cables, which can hinder the flow of electricity from the battery to the starter. It is advisable for affected owners to consult a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve these issues promptly.
