Electrical problem
2000 Kia Sportage 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

when i start the suv the headlights don't come on every time. if i wait sometimes they will come on. the lights are very dull even then. i was thinking it could be a relay or a bad ground but i can't read the cover of the fuses under the hood or a wiring diagram.

it sounds like you are experienceing a bad ground to the body from the battery. it grounds on the side of the battery case and there are grounds on the fenders for the lights. good luck
