Hi. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong here? I've replaced so many parts I'm about to drive into a telephone pole!! I'm having an issue with my lights & gear shift. It's a 2001 Kia Sportage 4X4. When putting the vehicle in park it sometimes won't release. Blows a fuse. I replace the fuse & the vehice shifter works fine, after that. But blows the fuse quite often. Why? what causes this??
Then, the problem with my lights: I have replaced the Daytime running light module as it was burnt out. The new one worked till I parked at a store. Then the problem with the shifter (stuck in park fuse blew, I replaced the fuse there on the spot) got in the vehicle and I had no turn signals. Started homeward. stopped in town to buy another part I was suggested to buy (a flasher?) did that, got vehicle homeward again stopped for a coffee at a drive threw, vehicle shift stuck in park AGAIN fuse blew, replaced fuse AGAIN, all lights but dash lights now working ...... WHAT THE HECK IS CAUSING THIS!!!!! The shifter gets "stuck in park" a fuse blows, I replace it good to go a bit again. What is going on??
The lights take fits when this happens, sometimes I have all lights but the dash lights, other times I have all lights but no turn signals, other times all lights but then no dash and high beams! I am SO FRUSTRATED!!
PLEASE! can ANYONE HELP!! :wacko:
