Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Exterior Lighting Activation By Door / Dome
I got a 2013 awd 2.4 Sport. I am installing a set of running boards and would like to put an LED strip under the boards that is activated when the doors are opened. I am not looking to have glowing neons while driving. I want the feature for lighting up the ground area around the entry doors when someone enters/exits the vehicle. I want the LEDS to remain off otherwise. I figure it would be best to tap into the dome/door circuit but I am lost on how to do it best. My hang up is with getting wire from inside the passenger compartment to under the vehicle (Prefer not to go drilling holes through the floor) I did find a thread about interior lighting upgrades and the OP specified that there is a brown wire inside the A-Pillar that goes -output when the doors are opened. I discerned from that that I would run the LED strip positive lead to the battery and tap the LED strips negative lead to the brown wire.

One of my proximity keys is lost inside the vehicle (2013 Santa Fe Limited).
I need to remove the lost key from the car's programming. The dealer mechanic said it is not possible to remove the programming of a key still inside the car. I am not a vehicle mechanic but I am in IT and know a little about RF technology. I know this is possible and I called a couple of locksmith's and was told that it is definitely possible and easy. However they want to charge me over $500 to de-program the lost key.. They are taking advantage of my situation and the dealer has no clue.
Golf IV R32 :: Outer Door Handles Not Working Properly
Ever since I painted my car my outer door handles have not worked properly. Once you open the door using the inner door handle then the outer one works fine...lock the doors and the outer handle becomes almost useless. I say almost useless because if you kind of pull it just right it seems to catch and work. How to remedy it? Really tired of using this auto window roll down to reach in and open the door.

My windows wont work and my interior door handles ALL need replacing. How exactly can I do this? I had to replace one a while back when the windows worked but I am stumped as to how I am going to attempt this. The only way I can exit my truck is to get someone to open it from outside or climb out the rear window (I'm a thick female and this is annoying/embarrassing).
