I start the car in the morning as usual when a burning smell was noticed.
I tried to find the cause of it when a glowing light and flame was located. The lighted "SORENTO" at the base of the door had shorted out.
The engine was turned off and I used snow to stop the fire. Minor damage to the vehicle, about $275us. The Kia dealer where the vehicle was bought and had been maintained advised that it was caused by water without knowing where it happened and how. Water cannot reach the connector and there was no water issue.
South Vancouver (BC) Kia were really useless.
