That kind of a shock most likely fried your electronics. Have your computer checked out cause it runs everything.

First: check all fuses, some may have burnt by lightning overcharge.

SOURCE: warning light with a tire and an explanation mark

you have sensors in each tire that warns you of lower tire pressure just put some air in your tires to specs and the light should go out.

SOURCE: my 2006 suzuki forenza after driving a few miles,

if your fuel pump was failing you would have engine problems the supply of fuel would be interupted, I would guess that you have a wheel bearing that is worn out you can check this yourself by jacking the rear of the car up wheel off the ground one side at a time,take the wheel with one hand 9o'clock and other 3 o'clock and try moving it back and forth if there is any movement at all even just a little you need a new wheel bearing after you drive a few miles it heat up and make a humming grinding noise that seems to correspond with your speed ,speed up it gets louder and faster ,slow down it it slows down . they are costly but your safety is at risk and others safety is to.get it taking care of asap .

Testimonial: "thank you. this was a detailed explanation that makes alot of sense. thank you again!!"

2001 kia optima headlights issues

Each light has its own fuse. Have you checked them? Maybe try switching two of them to see if they swap which one works... Once in a while a fuse that looks good has actually gone bad. Comment on this post if this doesn't help and we can move to the next step. Good luck!

I own a 2002 Kia Optima. Recently, there is a rumbling noise coming from the front center of the car into the cabin onc you get underway. The faster you go, the louder the rumbling noise. No other problems...

no worries about the airbag light. just be sure to wear you seatbelt. in the event of and accident the airbag may or may not deploy! but to replace the airbag unit its self will be very costly $800-2500. as for the noise you may need to be more specific. its can be anything from alignment, bad ball join, bad motor mount or tran mount, bent rim, or even a bad tire

Dash lights and rear lights go out if driver side door is opened

There is a electric contact in the door to turn on the dome light when open and off when closed. It sounds like that switch is bad or the wire attached to it has fallen off behind the doorsill. It may be another door though, since all work the dome light. Try opening the other doors one by one to see if they light up the dome. Theres no guarantee because the seat or seatbelt may come into effect.

KIA: Optima - AirBag warning light stays on...

I had the same problem on our 2003 sedona. Turned out one of the wires in the driver's seat belt is infamous for going bad and the repair is usually replacing the seat belt. I would have thought they would have cured that by now.
