Re: 01 Kia Sportage 4x4 DEAD No start No power Needs jumpstart everytime

When you are jumping it, what are you connecting to? Straight across the battery or battery +ve and a good engine earth?

If it is straight across the battery then the battery is cactus (test by keying on the starter and measuring the voltage across the battery). If you are using an engine earth then the -ve to engine earth cable is corroded.
