Why Won't It Crank?
I have several of these Kia Sedona Vans and I've had more than one of them have this same problem. The previous times, we replaced the IPM module, had it reprogrammed by the Kia dealership, and the issue was resolved. We tried the same thing on this van and it worked for a few days at best and has repeated ever since. We have of course tested the battery and starter and the neutral position switch. Any other ideas what could be keeping this van from cranking when you turn the key?
It is interesting to note that the van went almost a minute and a half the first time before it cranked and then every time after the wait time was less until it had no hesitation at all.

I've been having the same issue with my 2007 Sedona. At first, I thought it was the starter relay. Replacing didn't help. Also pulled a memory fuse as recommended by another video, didn't help. Your method worked, thanks! It went a month before the same thing happened again. Now it happens a few times a week but will always start after about a minute and a half, like in your video. If find any more info, please let us know. I noticed another video something about bypassing with the anti-theft in the IPM, but it entails talking apart the entire dash. If you had already replace the IPM though, not sure it would fix the issue.

Below the shifter on the right there is a shifter position switch and a module to the right of it that tell the van if it is in park and can be started so once I replaced both of those the van worked fine starting.

I think this shows that there are so many reasons for no crank that there isn't just one answer.

It is the anti-theft control device which has senors in the key fob, ignition switch, doors, hood, computer, etc. If it will not start but the dashboard has power with indicator lights on, it is the anti-theft device which Kia Sedona especially has a problem with. To bypass it, turn the key to the right twice on the driver's side door. You must do this everytime you drive your car. If you plug an engine analyzer on it while it is having the problem it will give a code or should. If you start your car after it will not start, (like in video) it wipes out the error code so the problem cannot be determined. Sort of catching it in the act then analyzing it. It will also activate the theft device and cause you unable to not start if the senor in the ignition switch "believes" it is a "bad key" or bad fob sensor.

@michaelfirey 11 месяцев назад

This one apparently was different. We swapped the starter and it has worked ever since. Slightly bad connection in the starter.

@@Itsfranklyfrank if it starts and then shuts off, more than likely it's the Alternator

@joebarnhart4531 10 месяцев назад

I replaced the starter, 06 sedona worked fine for about a week. Now, same issue again. Removing the alternator relay under the steering wheel used to work. Now it doesn't. I'm stuck.

@michaelfirey 10 месяцев назад

Ugh. These issues are so frustrating. Have you tried my "hold the key in start position" for an extended length of time trick?

@letmanson 7 месяцев назад

I'm having this problem with my entourage 2007. Already changed the starter - didn't work. Trying to hold the key also doesn't work on mine. Honestly, it is being a pain in the a$$ trying to figure out what the problem is. The mechanic said to try to start the car always on Neutral - not working either. I shook the key yesterday while the key was turned and the car turned on. Don't know if it was a coincidence or what.

@michaelfirey 7 месяцев назад

Yeah it's the worst when it's not consistent. If holding the key doesn't work, look up the video on how to short the starter at the engine fuse and relay box. That will give you some clues whether the starter or wiring to the starter is bad. If it's the IPM module some people have success hitting the interior fuse panel area hard when trying to start.

@RMcCoy-fb4rs 8 месяцев назад

I haven't tried leaving the key turned. I have left it parking lots overnight twice in 2 weeks. It starts fine the next day. It seems if I leave it alone for up to 3 hours, it will start. Quite tiring. I am going to switch to the other key. 06 sedona.

@michaelfirey 8 месяцев назад

Let me know if that works. I'm curious.

@RMcCoy-fb4rs 8 месяцев назад

@@michaelfirey So far the "newer" key, or spare that hasn't been used much seems to be working. My mechanic said it is usually a worn key that causes this condition, but could be many other things. There's no code to read unless it's "doing the thing" you want diagnosed. I will make a new key as well and hope for the best in the meantime.

@michaelfirey 8 месяцев назад

Wow that's unique.

@MrBlaze256 8 месяцев назад

when mine does this a smack the panel under the steering wheel while trying to start it and it works everytime. im waiting for it to happen when im home so i can try and find out what it is.. you can always add a push button to the starter motor for a few bucks and never worry about it again

@michaelfirey 8 месяцев назад

Try the key hold method. I'm curious if it will work for you.

@thebigdr Год назад

My 2009 Sedona set off the security alarm when it wouldn't start and it's never done that before and I don't know why it did it but however I didn't try it in the ignition but I put the key in the driver's door and turned it to unlock for 30 seconds and that let it start. That was the first fix I found about a lot of Kia vehicles. It actually said to put it in the passenger door on the driver side but my sliding passenger door does not have a key lock so I just took a chance and tried it on the drivers door

@michaelfirey Год назад

If you quickly turn the key in the door twice in a row it will unlock and disable alarms. Great for when your key fob dies. Please subscribe to my channel. When I find a solution I'll post a video about it.

@thebigdr Год назад

Some kias have had problems with the anti-theft module but that's all I know. Just read about it today when my Sedona started beeping and wouldn't start. I put the key in the driver's door and held it to unlock for 30 seconds and that's what good mine. I didn't know anything about the ignition until now I bet it would have worked also.

@michaelfirey Год назад

Ironically the starter fixed the issue on this van.

@michaelfirey Год назад

It's in the shop. Fingers crossed we find a permanent solution!

@randymiller3998 Год назад

Did they figure anything out with your Sedona? Mine has been working fine for the past week or so. It's so weird how the problem is intermittent with everyone!

@michaelfirey Год назад

@@randymiller3998 we replaced the ipm module a few months ago which likely fixed the original problem. This most recent problem appears to have been the starter. It bench tested fine but we haven't had issues for the past few days after putting in a new starter. I won't be confident until a few more days / weeks pass. The plastic connector on the starter was also brittle and broken so we replaced that as well. Fingers crossed!

@michaelfirey Год назад

I've waited to be sure but ironically replacing the starter was the final thing that fixed this issue on this van. I replaced the ipm module on another van and it fixed the issue on that van. At this point I don't know if it was a combination of the ipm and the starter or was simply the starter all along. The starter passed testing so I didn't replace it earlier but apparently it made the difference in this situation.

@@michaelfirey it was funny because when I bought the Entourage I asked the owners if they'd had any problems with the van. They said "no mechanical problems at all!". I thought, it's strange that you specified "mechanical". I noticed there were mulitple spare fuses in the ashtray but could not find any issue with the van other than needing a thorough cleaning/valet. A few weeks later, my ex started to comment on the van not always starting. That was the beginning of my enlightenment!

@michaelfirey 9 месяцев назад

I thought it might be a relay too at first. I had an identical van and I put them aside by side and swapped every relay one at a time and test cranked. It didn't work for me.

@danielardiles9423 9 месяцев назад

@@michaelfirey This is not exactly a relay and it is responsible for maintaining the constant voltage. Regarding the ignition problem, what I did was disconnect and put contact cleaner and dialectric grease. This problem is very strange and even more so that it turns on with a small knock.
