Radio and ac control not lighting up.

[str8bizns]

My radio and ac controls are not lighting up. Just went over every fuse in the inside fuse box. Any suggestions or knowledge as to why my radio controls or ac controls don’t light up. This is in my base model Kia stinger. Not my gt2. This is a real pain at night when I need to use the controls and I can see without turning in the interior lights.

Does anyone know if there’s a fuse that controls the lights on the radio and a/c controls?

Does the radio work?
Touchscreen work?

Connector B, terminal #6 is illumination +

Terminal #19 in the same connector is illumination -

There is the added complexity of this illumination also being controlled by the variable brightness rheostat.

I would start with the Rheostat - last image attached

Radio and AC and touchscreen are all working everything works. The radio controls do not light up or the AC controls don’t light up. It’s just the lighting that failing.

Anything happen if you adjust the Rheostat ?

 

[str8bizns]

you mean the cluster light dimmer? If you're referring to that, it has no effect on the lights.

sounds like a warranty claim

 

[str8bizns]

No warranty. Rebuilt title. I have to identify the issue and resolve it myself.

 

[D.J.]

did it ever work?
did it just suddenly stop working?

I would start here.
Here is a higher resolution of the rheostat testing procedure

Hey, thank you for that but I am asking about my base model 2.0 stinger. I have 2. Can you provide that to me for the 2018 base model? I really appreciate that.

Is this the Stinger that had flood damage?

No! That one is 100% except I can’t disable ISG and the drivers seat slide motor isn’t working.
