In the 2017 Kia Optima, there are some unique brake light problems that can occur, beyond the typical issues seen in other vehicles. To start troubleshooting, always check if the bulb is working properly as it may have simply burned out. If the bulb is fine, consider looking at the fuses or relays before moving on to more intricate repairs. The pins in the connector of the '17 Optima can sometimes become bent, leading to a weak connection and the light not working. Additionally, the brake light wiring system and harness in this model are prone to short circuits, so it's important to thoroughly inspect them for any issues. If you're unable to pinpoint the problem through a visual check or using a multimeter, it might be best to seek assistance from a professional technician.
