It appears the signal from the sender is being shunted. I expect that water or corrosion is interfering with the speed sensor signal at one of the connections.

I might check with the dealer before rewiring the connection. The problem will most likely be localized to one connector or a in a short section of the wiring harness. There may be a maintenance alert issued by KIA on the problem. It would be a lot easier to correct the problem at the source.

If electronic the speed sensor may be heat failing. If cable driven the gears may be worn out.

    Make sure the connections are good and the wiring is not chaffed or broken/burnt . Usually the sensor is just bad and replacing it fixes the speedometer.

    Also, Rock Auto may be cheaper if you cross check with several suppliers.

2007 Kia cerato hatch. Has anyone got experience in wiring. The issue I have is the rh Parker lights front and rear are not working also dash illumination not working and the hazard lights don’t work. and...

Your car is more of a wheeled computer than a conventional car so troubleshooting electrics is limited to fuses and visual inspection and a few basic tests at the lamps - unless a wiring diagram is available.

It is normal practice of many manufacturers to fuse the left and right parking light separately with one side also supplying the dashlights and the other side supplying the number plate lamp so perhaps a fuse has failed. Fuse details will be found in the original vehicle handbook.
Perhaps the hazard lights fuse has also failed but if it hasn't, again a wiring diagram will be needed...

Not sure what to say about the speedo as in theory that circuit is supplied differently, via an ignition circuit. Could be some dealer level diagnostic equipment will be needed to sort that one...

My 2014 kia cerato 2.0 EX 5dr doesnt start. I have to jump start .Then it will b ok till the next morning. Thought its a battery n bought a new one. N still the problem persists., what can I do

My personal suggestion would be to go for these repair catalogs. I know this website www.reliable-store.com that i used to get manuals from, and they have all models online.
I also brought for my 1989 BMW, such old model, they had it
and it was very good manual. Go ahead, I bet.
