Sorry to hear you’re having door troubles! Luckily, you’re probably looking at a pretty easy fix—just reset your
Kia Carnival
power sliding doors by following these steps:- Put the shift lever in the P (Park) position.
- Open and close the fuel filler lid (we know, it sounds odd, but trust us).
- Change the position of the fuse switch to OFF on the driver’s side fuse panel.
- Wait one minute.
- Change the position of the fuse switch back to ON.
- Open and close the sliding door manually.
- Open the sliding door completely using the transmitter or main control button on the overhead console.
- Close the sliding door completely using the transmitter or main control button on the overhead console.
This should reset your power sliding doors, so they’ll work properly again. If these steps don’t work, however, you may have some other electrical or mechanical issues at play. In that case, you’re looking at a more complicated
