kia sedona 2017 won't crank

Watch under the hood while someone cranks it - that clicking noise may be making a spark too. First suspect is a starter relay, which is likely integrated with the starter, but don’t go replacing a starter on that suspicion. While under the hood, tug on the battery cables to make sure they aren’t just loose. Also, I’m inclined to agree battery is probably ok, but what is your metric for being certain of it?

Ideally you should follow the red wire from the battery to see where it goes, it should go to starter, and make sure that connection is good; and follow the black wire too, to make sure that’s got good connectivity.

Just recently I had the same issue. My startup was just like the one in your video. My issue was a very small leak around the battery I’m assuming water came out of the battery so to crank it just wasn’t enough anymore. I would throughly inspect the battery just to make sure because it can still read the correct volts on OFF sometimes

Tug on the cables a bit - any play at all?

#

Next up, test that battery for real. Get a proper voltage reading
