    Telluride nightmare (Electrical Issues)🤯

    Just an idea - today's alternators are smaller and lighter and while they do a great job of keeping the car running, they don't charge the battery like older alternators were designed to do. If you have a battery charger (make sure it is compatible with AGM batteries if yours is an AGM). Let...

    Kia Telluride 3.8 vs Hyundai Genesis 3.8

    The Genesis engines are turbocharged and mostly rear wheel drive. The Telluride and Palisade are naturally aspirated (no turbos) and front wheel drive (the AWD models are FWD engines)

    Oil change info..

    I have a 24 SXP-X-Line and should hit 16,000 miles in the next week. Mine takes right around 6.5 - 6.6 qts. of oil every time and I don't need any oil in between changes. I did my first oil change at 1,500 miles, 2nd at 5,000 and every 5,000 since then. I do it myself at home on a level...

    Oil change info..

    Because the engines should be identical as they have not made any major changes to them from 2023 to 2025, I'm betting that it is a translation error in going from liters to quarts. I'm betting that they use AI to manage their manuals and no one internally compares their 2025 to their 2024...

    Window trim

    I had an issue with one of my window trims. I took it to the dealer and they replaced all four of them under a Service Advisory in July. There is now listed a new recall (7/29/25) for the window trim (they call it the door belt molding assembly). It indicates that they will replace the...

    Do you know the exact part numbers for the Thule rack? I have a 2024 EXP X-Line with the raised roof bars. I'm located in Olympia.

    Infotainment blank on 2023

    Have you tried removing the negative cable from the battery for 30 minutes? You may have to reset all of your windows and other things with memory settings afterwards. I'm guessing that you are still under warranty. If this doesn't fix it, I would head to a dealer.

    Proximity Door Unlock Not Working

    That's normal behavior and can't be unlocked without touching the inside of the front door handle. If you have an automatic tailgate, it can be programmed to open automatically as you walk up. I turned that off the first time I washed the car as it kept opening when I didn't want it to. Never...

    Who disables Auto Start-Stop when they drive?

    Because it was certified by the EPA with it on, Kia can't turn it off. I purchased an aftermarket device which took 5 minutes to install that turns it off automatically. https://www.autostopeliminator.com/

    Rough Idle - Engine Light Sensor ON

    Have you tried adding a gasoline additive that dries out moisture in the fuel tank? Most of those will also clean the fuel system.

    Dealer add-ons

    Congratulations on the new Telluride. I've had mine for about 8 months. I did my first oil change at 1,500 miles, my second one at 5,000 and plan to do it every 5,000. I had the dealer turn on the functionality that allows me to track my service at my own intervals instead of the pre-set...

    Proximity door lock and unlock

    You need to just lightly touch the rectangle indentation on the front exterior door handles to lock them. To unlock, you need to touch the interior of the back part of the handle (it is slightly ribbed with a little light at the touch point) and that should unlock them. If you have programmed...

    Kia Telluride Fuse Box Description

    This is from a 2023 wiring diagram. It shows the license plate lights are from the IPS system. Not sure where that is located, but hopefully gives you a clue. It seems to indicate that there is not a fuse.

    Rear Windshield Wiper Replacement

    I only use Bosch, too. I found a rear one on Amazon. Lots of comments that it fits a Telluride perfectly and it fit mine. BOSCH H326 Rear Wiper Blade; 13" - Single

    What is this thing?

    MY guess is that it is the external temperature sensor, as that's where they're usually located.
