Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 - Both Low Beam Headlights Out

I have a 2008 Hyundai Santa fe and have recently had both low beam headlights go out. The running lights and high beams still both work. I read both bulbs as sat 0.5ohm(left) and 0.5ohm(right). Connections were right. I also read fuses in engine compartment HLP LO for both RH and LH. Still I swapped them both with the HHP HI and both worked for high beams but no change for low,on,either side. My next idea is the switch but I am not sure how to test it.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 - Booming Sound From Engine And RPM Needle Fluctuated Up And Down

About 10 seconds after I started the engine, I could hear booming sounds from the engine and the same time the engine rpm needle fluctuated up and down and I could hear the engine seemed to die down and then went back up again together with ups and downs of the rpm needle. This issue just happened recently (about 2 gas tank fill-ups ago). When I started to drive I had the same problem at red lights as I could see the rpm needle fluctuated. The problem got worse when I engaged AC. However, I did not have any check engine light on. I tried a different gas station but no luck. I even used higher octane gas (93) but still had the same issue. I've got only about 15000 miles on the santa fe.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: No Electrical Power / Sound When Turn The Key To Start

I have a 2007 santa fe. In the last year or so, when you turn the key to start the car - you get nothing... Like it has no electrical power, no sound, etc. However, it has never lasted more than 1min to an hour it varies. There is nothing you can do about it, just try it a couple of times, come back and try it again. It has never not started eventually. About 95% of the time, it starts within 10 min after you start trying it. However every now and again it is 10 min to an hour or more. Sometimes it goes weeks without doing it (starts the first time) and then you get a string of everyday for weeks.

The dealer can't figure out whats wrong, they need it to stop working completely. I am an engineer and have not been able to find any correlation (cold weather vs hot), not driving it for a while, turning off ac, lights, radio, using a different key. Also, during this time the battery has been periodically tested and has tested out fine.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 Will Not Start, Battery Is Good

I recently had a new coil pack put in my 2008 Santa Fe, about a week ago. Got up for work this morning and it would not turn over. It makes the clicking noise but will not catch. I jump started it and it worked. Got out of work and it wouldn't start again, got a jump start and took it to pep boys where they tested the battery as good. Could it be a shortage somewhere from the previous work done?

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 GLS - No Sign Of Turning Over And Car Will Never Start

I have an intermittent problem with my 2008 Santa Fe GLS (Canadian model). Sometimes, when I insert the key to start the car, the in-dash key symbol won't come up (while it usually does when everything is fine). When the problem occurs, I have all electrical power and the engine will crank over; The cranking is going very fast but shows no sign of ever turning over and the car will never start. It really looks as if the immobilizer does not recognize the key and so refuses to start the engine. So I have to remove the key, wait some time and try again. Usually, it can take 3-4 times (and up to 15 minutes!) before the key-symbol light comes up again in the dash, and then the engine will start as if nothing ever happened.

This problem occurs approximately once a week, but you never know when. I went to the dealer just for that problem but they had no clue and could not reproduce it, .... so they ended-up doing nothing to fix it. The car also has a remote starter that was installed at the dealer. It usually works fine. But the problem also occurred a few times with the remote starter trying to start the car by itself. I could hear the never ending cranking noise from the spinning starter, until the remote starter stopped for few seconds and tried again. I had to stop the remote starter manually.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 SE Won't Start After Replacing Fuel Sensors

I just replaced the fuel sensors and know don't have power to the fuel pump. ( checked at the harness). I had to take the canister apart to get the sensor to go in and I had the rubber seal fall off the gas tank pressure sensor the first time I hooked it up. I did find that and put it back on. I checked the fuel pump fuse and switched out the fuel pump relay with the one for the horn and had no luck .

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: How To Remove Headlights

Looking for a tip on how to remove headlights. I have followed owners manual for my '08 Sante Fe Ltd on removing the two screws on top and retaining nut on back of light and unplugging the wire harness but the---- thing doesn't want to slide out. Is there a clip or screw that I am overlooking? I have watched the video on the Sonata. It feels tight on the tapered side(turn signal). I afraid of muscling it too much because there is so much plastic.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Both Headlights Stopped Working

My headlights worked on Tuesday. Wednesday night driving home I put my headlights on and neither is working. My brake lights, directional and highbeams work. The only thing that doesn't is the headlights.

I replaced both headlights and still not working. I purchase fuses 15A and switch the fuses which were blown and it resulted in my horn going off. I had someone check with a gauge and there is power in the light socket. We tried to replace the fuse again and the horn went off. We removed the fuse for the horn and replaced the fuses for the headlights and the horn still went off even though the fuse was missing.

The mechanic, checked my fuse box and wires around it and was not able to determine the issue.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2011 - Headlights (High And Low) Suddenly Not Working

Both of my 2011 Santa Fe's headlamps (high and low) are not working. The fuses seem to be ok (ohm meter checked) and so do the relays (swapped with other relays). When I switch the lights on to the first position, I hear the relay for the 'parking' lights switch on and those lights work. When I move it to the headlight or auto positions, I don't hear the headlight relays click in.

Is there a schematic/parts location/troubleshooting diagram anywhere (they are not on the HMA web site)? Is there a known connector/wiring issue? I just found a diagram for the multifunction switch on steering wheel, with a pin out of the connector, but that's all I have. This will be hard to trace without some idea of where the wires are going.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Headlights Dim / Flicker When Bakes Depressed - Random Stalling While Driving

Had the following problems with my 2009 Santa Fe: Audio system would randomly reset when playing MP3 from USB drive, Headlights would dim/flicker when bakes depressed, LED lights on dash would flicker, random stalling while driving. Finally just died and would not start. The Hazard lights would not work only a bit of buzzing from the relay. Checked Battery, connectors, etc. All looked good. Measured voltage at fusebox (inside) and found it dropped from 12v to 4v when I put the hazard switch on. Showed there was a connection problem of some kind.

Finally used a jumper cable from the battery negative terminal to an ground point inside the cabin. Bingo that fixed all the problems, car started, lights were good, hazards worked. As a permanent fix I ran a wire from where the negative terminal of the battery connects to the frame, then drilled a hole in the firewall and ran the wire into the cabin. Connected the wire to a ground point in the cabin. Used a heavy gauge stranded wire. you can try this out with lamp cord as a temporary fix, but I'd use something heavier for a permanent fix. All problems have gone. No flickering, no stalling... This may be a problem on other models from what I've read in some forums (unexplained stalling - check the grounding in the cabin..).

Camry :: 2007 XLE Headlights Flashing Once Upon Start

I have a 2007 Camry XLE 6cylinder...131000 miles on it.

I have just begun to notice that when I begin driving off with the vehicle at night, the headlights flash once. All 4 headlight lamps have been changed once and 2 of them have been changed twice in the past 8 months. I just replaced the high beam on the driver's side about 6 weeks ago, and now that same bulb is gone again.

The garage has done all the changes except the last one which I replaced with a Sylvania 9005 bulb. It is behind the battery which was a pain to change. This time I will remove the battery hopefully. I changed it myself because the last time I took it to the dealership, that 1 bulb change was $32.00! BTW...it still has the original battery in it.

What could be causing these bulbs to go? and the one time flashing? If I remove the battery, and then change the bulb, is there anything I need to do after reconnecting the battery? I am not a mechanic...does it make any difference which post I remove first on the battery?

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: 1996 - Won't Start - Headlights / Door Locks Won't Come On?

Ok been having some electrical issues. Im a disabled war vet and cannot afford overpriced mechanics so me and dad try to fix everything. Started weeks ago while driving if I flashed my high beams on I would lose power which made me think it was the altenator at first. Car left me stranded so had it towed to dads where we are trying to track down the problem on a 96 lexus es300. Now the car wont turn over although I do hear a clicking from the relay upfront. The headlights wont come on and door locks and security system no longer work.

Battery is new and good so we thought it was the ignition. Replaced today after tearing apart most of the dash to get to it . It fired up and cranked once then ceased to turnover yet again. When it turned over headlights and all power worked to door locks again. Fuses all seem good but seems there is an intermittent problem somewhere. Checked the 40amp fuse and it looked slightly blackish but intact and checked with volt meter and it tested fine. Im not sure where to go from this point. Maybe the integration switch or starter relay??
