Kia Rio doesn't start.

Asked by PatHurtu Apr 01, 2019 at 10:48 AM about the 2016 Kia Rio LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Kia Rio 2016 (Manual) doesn't crank. I
only hear a single faint clicking noise
everytime I try turn the key in the ignition, but
nothing else happens. It had full power, radio
& everything else related to battery works
fine. The only easy to start it is by
compression (pushing the car & using the 1st
gear to start the engine). Then I let it run for
15 minutes & it's usually good for a week or
so, before it happens again.

the most common clicking noise on the start ,is not enough power coming to starter. Check battery terminal first
