How do you change the third brakelight bulb on a 2011 Kia Sorento

How do you replace the third brake light bulb

  • Steve Klein
    Steve Klein Jan 23, 2015

    The third, or middle, brake light is located in the spoiler above the rear window. It does not light when the brake pedal is depressed. I understand it may be on a separate circuit from the other tail lights which do light when the pedal is depressed. How do you get to the LED strip, that is, what must be removed and how? Also, from where may you purchase a new LED strip?

2011 Kia Sorento. The left rear blinker on my 2011 Sorento is not working.

How do I know if my flasher relay is bad?

Symptom of a bad or failing turn signal / hazard flasher is hazards or turn signal lights that do not function. If the flasher breaks or has any internal issues it can cause the lights to malfunction, or not respond at all when the turn signal lever or hazard light button are pressed.

For the cost involved, I would change it.

Code P200A kia sorento 2011

It's a fault code connected with the intake manifold.

However, before you rush off and change it, have a look on the Internet. It seems that Kia had problems with this particular error code/or the software. Read about it first. Here's some links:

Both brakelights out but third one Wrks,fuse good and bulbs good.

If you have a trailer connector on the vehicle check for crossed or shorted wires at that connector. If not then you need to start tracing wires under the vehicle looking for shorts or grounded wires. The center light runs off 1 wire and the two brake lights are on a separate wire. Check for grounded wires or missing grounds near the jack storage in the vehicle if that is stowed in a compartment in the rear of the vehicle. If all of this is good, replace the flasher unit under the dash near the fuse panel.
