Kia soul turn signal not working (fix in 1 min)2014-2019

This a common problem with the kia soul turn signal sockets you can fix it like I did here in this video or buy a new one

[@creativeguy1138]

This video might be 3 years old, but it's priceless. I had the issue with the light being dim and my turn signal indicator flashing quickly. I changed the bulb out twice and it still had the issue. So I started searching online and found old message board posts about it, old forum posts "It's the ground, replace the bulb, check the voltage, the wiring is going bad" and other suggestions that I had to get through while reading people asking circular questions about which light, which side, are the other lights dim, etc etc etc even in topics where people straight forward said "My turn signal light is out, or dim, and the thing is flashing quickly, what might be the cause?" It was so irritating. No one EVER suggested it's just these 3 connectors. I did EXACTLY what you show in this video and BOOM. Problem solved. A HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU! If I could give this video 1000 likes I would. Thank you!

[@treycowan5433]

Thank you so much! All the mechanics and dealerships were telling me it was gonna take 3 weeks to get to my car and I found your video. Fixed it in literally 30 seconds! You deserve a Nobel Peace prize for the help 🥳

[@stretcher]

Well done man. I really appreciated your no-nonsense approach to this simple repair. You didn't puff it up, and you even fixed it with a handcuff key... so normal just like I might have done at home. Keep up the good work and videos!

[@christopherpolizzi3899]

🎉Just fixed my blinker on my 2016 Kia soul! You are the man! Thank you for teaching this to me!

[@tammyadams828]

For years, the dealership said the bulb was an electrical issue. I'm a female and I replaced it by myself. Way easier than I thought 😂 The prongs needed adjustments... you rock. 🎉

[@czaplin]

This is the second time you’ve saved my sanity. I can’t thank you enough

[@grizinthebigsky]

This is an awesome video! My daughter's '14 Kia Forte lost blinkers on the passenger side and I was worried that I'd have to replace the multifunction switch but it turns out that Tony's fix was on the money. Thank you very much...The dealer said it'd be $1600 for a new switch/labor but fortunately, I ended up here. Kudos and thanks again for the exceptional help!

[@mcandy8828]

Both of my turn signals went out. You just saved me $1,200. Seriously. I was told I had to replace the entire headlight assembly at 600 each! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@carolinereynolds1087]

I was told I had to replace the entire headlight assembly too at a general garage but when i took it to the dealership and they just replaced the socket. To anyone else who reads this - DO NOT BELIEVE SOMEONE WHEN THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY!

[@mcandy8828]

@@carolinereynolds1087 that's great. The dealer I took it to gave me a new bulb and said the one I had was about to burn out. Dude swore up and down that he had "never seen this problem before." Which I find hard to believe. At any rate, I let him know about this so he really couldn't honestly say that any more. I wonder if a new socket will fail at some point as well?

[@lauramyers4547]

Here in 2024 - I replaced the bulb but turn signal still not working when headlights are on. I am hoping this works!! I appreciate your videos it saves money and makes me feel so happy to fix my own car 😊

[@Bigtony1818]

If you replaced the bulb and it doesn't work you need to buy the socket where the bulb sets you can find them on ebayy or get it from a local yard 👍

[@UserB_tm]

Dude seriously thank you this just fixed the blinker on my wife's car, I had no idea what was going on. Ran diagnostics tried 2 bulbs Then just bent the connectors and it worked😅

[@MrKINGTAC0]

Both of my blinkers were out, i checked all of my fuses and tested my cables, I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Seriously, thank you for posting this video. Such a simple fix!

[@Restrictted]

Facts!!!

[@ericastiff]

Tony you freaking rock. I don't live close to my dad anymore and both my front turn signals went out. I was told it would be a crazy cost to fix, then found your video. Felt like a magician when I fixed it just now. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@rollieculp4636]

This is the easiest fix for such an annoying problem thanks Tony you are the man. I felt like I was right there with you I used a modified leather needle with a hook to perform this fix and it literally took 30 seconds!

[@sandramalter9210]

Thank you. Just fixed mine

[@jadedlittlestar6767]

this was the best, most simplistic way to change the bulb. sending all the kudos, dude. thank you! 😊

[@charleslambertjr3842]

Thank you so much, for making this video, I would’ve never thought that would be a problem, I have a 2016, and I just tried your fix and it worked immediately, you saved me a lot of headache for sure, especially because when you look at the socket you visibly can’t see any corrosion or any problems so you don’t realize the springs have collapsed

[@MrBrett92]

Really helped out my family took it to two different mechanics bought four different bulbs and all we had to do was pull up the connectors thank you so much

[@alaDepecheMode]

Thank you, we have been having issues and my husband replaced the bulb only to have it not work. I found your video and now my husband is impressed that I fixed it.

[@letinaday3933]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Iam a 51 y/o woman who in transportation business who just FIXED my turn signal issue bc of YOU!!!! You just saved me💰💰💰💰💰💰 for going early to a mechanic this morning bc I got get on the ROAD

[@patreid5293]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. After 5 bulbs and 2 years without it working properly, I have a working signal again. The dealership got it to work for two whole days last year in March then it stopped. Thank you again.

[@Bigtony1818]

I'm glad this video was able to help you out

[@canvasanderth]

Omg! Thank you so much for this. I've been dealing with constant failing turn signal lights for about a year now. I decided to do google search because when I changed them today, they still wouldn't work and having to change them so frequently has been driving me nuts. Your video was the first to pop up. I just did what you've shown here, and now my turn lights are working like a charm. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@AVIstables]

I sincerely appreciate this video. Thank you so much for making this simple for those of us not mechanically inclined. I was having this same issue and your video worked.

[@tylerpritchard2254]

Thanks dude!!! I was just about to spend money on new bulbs and fuses, but I decided to check KZbin one last Time. Your trick worked amazingly

[@jerrygonzales1332]

I really appreciate you showing this! I was wondering if there was a wiring I was going to start with ordering new sockets but once I saw this I tried it and used a skinny pointy kitchen steak knife it worked like a charm! I thought I had broken it too! Believe me brother your good deed will go rewarded.

[@bw2532]

Came to say the same thing everyone else was. THANK YOU! Was about to go buy some bulbs but it was working when id lock and unlock but not when i needed to use the turn indicator. Love a Free.99 repair.

[@ccheek91]

Iv been struggling with turn signal issues for months! Had a very dim blink and absolutely nothing with headlights on. Kia first told me it was electrical... then told me I'd need a whole new headlight as they don't sell just the socket. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge. Such a simple fix and a huge savings! Thank you again.

[@kallen9609]

I rarely leave comments on KZbin, but your easy to watch and understand video has just saved a lot of money and time. I had the signal bulb in my 2015 Soul replaced today and two hours later it wasn't working again. Likewise, I raised the connectors upwards and out, following your directions, and it now works perfectly! Thank you !

[@DanielGarcia-lq9sm]

You are the man,bro, big time help,,

[@treboreycob]

My front passenger blinker was coming on and staying steady, not blinking. The back was blinking fine. both driver's side were working as well. Out of desperation, I did your bent contact trick and the thing works now. Thanks.

[@jcooper311]

Been fighting my right turn signal for about a month. Fixed it this evening within seconds after watching this. Thanks!!

[@tsutaz]

Thank You! My step daughter (in college) bought 3 replacement bulbs, it was not until I watched this video, which solved her problem. It took me twice to make the adjustments, but this works perfectly!!

[@jonathandown9617]

This guy is something special. Great teacher and helped me fix so much on my car. Thanks so much dude!

[@cesargordon1070]

Thanks brother, you helped me fix a problem with my turning signal that i had for years. After viewing your video it took me less than five minutes to fix the issue. you are God sent. blessings.

[@JustMe-mp8on]

Awesome video. Easy to understand instructions. Saved me time and money. My light is working again. Thank you very much. God bless you and your family!

[@keturatopps3186]

Thank you!! This fixed my issue too! You remind me of my dad - very patient and straightforward.

[@coryvanlaar7677]

Thank you sir this did the trick got it working again paid nothing good video very helpful

[@adventurizinwithsamandzac9526]

Bro, you just saved me so much time. Done, and done. 3 minutes flat. Thank you!

[@TheArbenberry]

Thank you. I was able to follow your instructions and repair my turn signal light socket of my Kia Soul 2016 in less than one minute.

[@melissanetterwald6594]

Thank you so much, I have changed the bulbs so many times only for it to go out again the next day or just still not work. I thought I was getting faulty bulbs for a minute. I just did the repair today, and it's working so far. It was starting to drive me crazy. I am so glad I found your video, thank you again!

[@patrickwolfe5631]

That was indeed the solution. Had both signals acting up. Thanks for the troubleshooting.

[@anthonybaroni3285]

I've been replacing bulbs for six months trying to fix this.. thank you for showing me the problem!

[@davidrussellhamrick1828]

Thank you so much! I knew the bulb wasn't the problem, so I was afraid I would have to run down a wiring problem or replace a big component. Got it done in a few minutes with a pair of tweezers. God bless!

[@Koivlachance]

thanks for the tip, I just repaired my turn signal and I feel like a pro mechanic 🤣

[@kariann2298]

This will be saving me a bundle!! I've a 2014 Kia Soul and last month one of my headlights went out. The Kia dealership cost me nearly $140 to replace that headlight, so when the opposite turn light went out I figured it can't be difficult for me to fix and way less costly. I used to repair basic things on my cars in my 20's, I'm now in my 60's but still very curious & saving money 😉 Thank you !!

[@dankyjoker]

This guy is great. Your videos help us fix this crap in our cars. Please don't ever stop being the awesome person you are.

[@ATX45]

You helped me out twice in two days. Many thanks, man! Seriously, you’re helping people out big time. We’re all on here cuz paying a mechanic isn’t an option. Sub’d.

[@bruiserraider1]

[@KoRnBaL19]

You the man!! Simple 1 minute fix after buying new bulbs. It was the side copper flang/leaf. KEEP EM' COMING.🤘

[@MattMendians]

O wow!! Thank you so much! I just did it on my 2013 Kia Forte and it worked! You can’t even buy a new aftermarket socket at parts store. I was going to go to the dealer tomorrow to see if I could buy a new one but it works!! Thank you!

[@jasonparks1527]

Just got my kia and watched this to replace the signals and yep wasn't the bulbs but your trick worked perfectly. Thanks man

[@vilasyang]

Thank you. You just saved my blinker from being burn. To remove the bulb; press gently and twist counter clock-wise

[@jacobvaughn8937]
