HVAC backlighting, shifter led and seat heaters no longer working after a run through the touchless wash.

Namja, There is nothing inherent in the Stinger that makes it neccessary to have a "Stinger Specialist". Most of the other Kia's have higher tech than we do. Even when I bought my 2021 in October, there were already other cars with higher tech coming.

Check the spare tire compartment for standing water.

There is no water. I will edit the thread title to reflect that the wash issue was unrelated. Thank you though!

ETA:
Guess it isn't possible to edit my thread title.

Thanks, mine is just a base GT but I will get under there and have a look. The front bumper is damaged, so there may be an issue hiding out under there. The salvage title apparently means you get raped at the dealer with no lube and nothing actually gets done for your trouble. Meh.

yeah if there was front damage then for sure check that cable. mine was nicked so i unplugged it. then I wondered why my gauge display was not working right and the shifter didn't light up. It's the one on the passenger side, can't really miss it with that giant rectangular connector. yeah dealerships can be a pain, mine charged me $600 to tell me something that I already knew. At least the parts department gives me a discount lol.
