So like many of you I experienced some slow to warm-heat in this engine/van. After digging deeper into the engine via scan tool, I have some info for you all. I'm Canadian so all my info is in Celsius - - - just convert to yanky F. As the engine starts to warm up that little digital coolant scale starts to climb. When it gets to the middle, or almost the middle, the engine is actually not at full temp. Far from it...... At the middle the coolant temp is actually 50c - - the engine is... Heat-warm up issues? I have some interesting info for you ..read more

Hi, I noticed on my 2024 Carni SXP, when I start from Autostop, I hear a squeek like ungreased brakes or something. Without the autostop engaged, no noise. Is this something I can fix diy or do I need to take this to the dealer ..read more

Strange, I go to numerous websites that sell oil filters for a 23 EX. As soon as I change the date to a 24 the message changes to indicate that filter does not fit a 24. Can anyone confirm that the filter used in the 23 model is the same as the 24 or not? Thanks ..read more

New owner to a certified 2022 Carnival SXP. Both 115v outlets are giving a solid red light but not actually giving power to any devices. Stupid thought but feels as though there's some sort of protective cover over the outlet preventing devices to connect to actual outlet. Manual doesn't mention anything beyond standard hinged cover but seems like actual outlet is recessed a decent amount once you life the cover. Again, feeling like a total idiot but nothing seems to make contact with the... AC Outlets Not Giving Power ..read more

I did take it to the dealer, they said it is normal. The rear seat belts don't retract fully without help. Even then it is difficult at times to get it to retract. I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this and more or less if it is normal or I need to keep pushing the dealer or escalating the issue. I don't have this issue with my 2011 kia optima or any other vehicle I have had in the past which is why it is concerning. I purchased the Carnival new off the lot and don't recall the... Rear seatbelts are not fully retracting on their own, it takes manual feeding to fully retract ..read more

Hello! In my old Odyssey I could be in drive, unlock the doors and then open the sliding door. In my Carnival that doesn't seem to work. Sliding doors will only open after I place it in Park. Am I missing something? Is this not an option ..read more

Hi all, I'm switching all my interior lights to LEDs (thanks to those in that thread!) and I noticed that the little red lights at the bottom of the inside of the doors are not lighting up. Tried turning the lights on for the whole interior and still nothing. Anyone experienced this? Anyone switched those bulbs to LED? If so what size? Thanks in advance ..read more

Above is macro photo. Red wire is 10AWG. The wire and crimp-on terminal are so large as to completely obscure the socket where the 20A OEM mini fuse has been removed. There is another 20A OEM mini fuse directly behind where the new wire has been run -- its almost invislble. Above photo shows context of wiring modification. I simply used an inline fuse holder with 10 AWG wires (obtained from Amazon). The other end... Always on modification to front Power Point outlet ..read more

Another warm sunny day around here so I was testing under the hood. -- I found the fuse that controls the power point which is mounted at the back end of the console. It's under the hood. -- Diagram here is a photo of the cover to my under hood fuse box. -- The fuse is a 20 amp mini fuse, each tab of which is 6.5mm long and about 2.8 mm wide. -- 2.8 mm terminals that fit the mating sockets tend to be hard to find. I found that taking a Dremel operated sanding drum to one side of a 1/4"... 2023 KIA CARNIVAL - FUSE CONTROLLING FRONT POWER POINT ..read more
