Best Answer

In the 2000 Kia SEPHIA, the door has two spring-loaded sensors that do not close all the time, causing the dome-light to stay lit all night. Also, I had to replce the alternater because it could not keep-up with the air-conditioner and the radio and day-time drive-lights at the same time. My clue was the check-engine-light and the over-drive light always on. At the end the parking-brake lights and then finaly the battery-light came on.
