Have you checked that the headlight switch is in the right position? Are the headlights or parking lights still on when the key is removed?

If so, then rotate the lamp switch to the correct position and the buzzer will go off. Headlights and parking lights are not controlled through the key circuits.

It's a '99 Elantra, have you ever replaced the timing belt? It is a belt not a chaing, so it is very much should have the belt changed. After 13 years if you haven't done the belt yet now appears to be the time to change. I have an '05 and we changed it over a year now.Good luck!!EJ Kudelka

remove the starter motor and check for damage/wear on the teeth of the starter motor and the ring gear teeth on the flywheel.turn the engine by hand while checking the ring gear so as to check the condition all the way around.hope this helps

Hi Mandy,Whenever I see a problem like this, it is usually caused by a bulb that has been installed incorrectly or the wrong bulb installed. There are other things that can cause it, but this is the FIRST thing I would check - especially if you have had any bulbs replaced recently.The second most common cause that I have seen is aftermarket equipment such as alarm systems that are malfunctioning or incorrectly installed.If all of the above has been checked and/or verified to be working properly, let me know. There are a couple other things that we can check.

dont replace parts till u kno the answer--thats an older trans so a # of things may be worn--a data stream shud be performed to pinpoint instead of just a code reader--also a pressure chec too--haynes manual or chilton show repair details

cud still be fuel issue-like the pressure regulator in engine area--throttle body mite be dirty as well as idle contrl motor --but sounds like some electric component is heatin up or distributer cap--coil--or ignition module is worn

it could be either crank sensor or timing belt. it also could be the fuel pump ther are several things it "could" be. first thing to do is verify the fuel pressure and the ignition fire then proceed from there.

The easiest way is to unplug the sparkplug and see if you see it firing a spark or get a scaner and it will let you know if you have any ignition problems good luck hope this helps

Replace the Stop Lamp Switch

you remove the top bolt by going into the trunk, it is a tight fit.

This problem could be cause by the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor, check engine light will come on, if it is scan code to make sure.

Additionally, check battery voltage, turn ignition switch on pinch intake fuel line feel for pulse if none check fuel pump relay and pump. Also check wires involved there.

One question first, is the dash showing a MIL light (Malfunction Indicator Light) showing that the ecu is registering that there is a problem ?????

no you shouldn't. did the pistons actually hit or are you guessing that they did?

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

As a first course of action please try to charge the battery. It may be weak which may cause the car not to start.

If the problem still persists please try to check the starter. It is located at the back of the engine near the flywheel. It has 2 bolts that holds the starter and a cable connected to the positive battery terminal. Try to put the starter on the battery ground and connect the positive connector to the starter. If it doesn't kick then the starter needs replacement. If it kicks then there must be some electrical issues.

I suggest that you visit a reputable auto electrician to trace out the problem.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Make sure the lines are not damaged or stopped up. Maybe a defective wiper motor.

There are (usually) 'SPARE' fuses in the underhood junction box (U/H) and inside the passenger compartment (I/P Instrument Panel) junction box. Read the labels -- they'll tell you which locations contain 'SPARE' fuses.

first does the car have more than 1 o2 sensor sometimes the same code will come on vehicles with 2or 3 o2 sensors then you just hope you get the right one the first time i would check that first the usually have one on the exaust manifold and usually in front of and or behind the catalytic converter or in in the converter itself
