Here's what I suspect is happening. The door locks will lock and unlock normally when the key is OUT of the ignition. If the key is IN the ignition, the doors cannot be locked (manually, key fob, or otherwise, if the system is operating as designed - prevents the doors being locked when the key is in the ignition). I've seen this problem before, but on a Santa Fe, not an Accent. The ground signal of the right hand front passenger door was lost, and the doors automatically locked. Perhaps something similar is happening in the circuit between the ETACS module and the right front passenger door lock/unlock actuator. Could be anywhere in the circuit.

I have an '03 Hyundai Accent 1600cc. I am told by the techies at the local dealer, the fuel filter is ON the fuel tank. You gain access to it by removing the back seat, then opening the panel beneath the back seat. Replace the filter, screw the panel back onto the floor and the job is done....

hi from uk as a getz owner(my wifes car) i do understand problem may i suggest this is most probably the lever on rear of the lockwhich is behind the cover on boothatch is probably loose hence when key is used the lever that connect to rod link and releases latch is slipping on key lock operation but when c/locking is used on drivers door it opens boot latck by motor no problem SO remove the panel from hatch held by screwsnear screen and pop plastic buttons on surround you will now have visual access to lock mech's and by using info provided above ? i am sure you can sort the problem if you use both key in lock operation and c/locking method to observe linkage it may be as suggested or a simple little ajustment of rod linkage hope this helps/inspires you ? best wishes from n/west uk lanc's

Help! 2003 Hyundai Accent problems. Transmission??

I have a 2003 Hyundai Accent. I have had it for just over 2 years now and have had no problems with it until recently. Last week my check engine light came on and my car is now reaching about 5000rmp while driving at around 100km/h on the highway. While I'm driving I can feel it shift out of gear, it will start off fine at around 2100rpm then it kicks and reaches 5000rpm and will stay for the rest of the drive. Does anyone know what could be causing this?? Since the check engine light came on last week it comes and goes every day or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

well the first thing you need to do is to pull the stored codes in the computer and see what they say and then go from there, this could be a speed sensor or a trany going bad , i dont know if this is an automatic or standard trany, start with the codes from the check engine light, autozone car parts store will scan the computer at no charge,

For any one dealing with this type of problems on your ford, hyundai, or any other cars, I would first recommend that you follow this steps one at the time before you think about rebuilding, or replacing your ****** untill you find the problem as any of this can cause the gear error, slipping and codes. 1- check your ****** oil level and add if low. 2-Check all your trans wire connectors and cables around it, unplug and re-plug them. 3-Replace your gear, speed and oil cooling sensors attached to it (you can try some used ones from the junk yards) make sure they look clean and not rusted or too old. and immediately after you replace them reset the ECU- Engine Computer Unit by disconnecting your positive battery cable for 20 to 30 min then reconnect and drive on street only. not freeway for two days and see if you notice any change. it is very important that you reset the ecu to erase the error codes from the computer before you derive it with the new sensors. If this does not help then you have internal failure, maybe bad selenoids, bad clutch torque converter, bad valve body parts, and even broken gears deep inside.

code p 0734 refers to gear 4--incorrect ratio===causes --wiring---TR sensor/ switch---shift solenoids---transmission mechanical fault
I would check the operation of the transmission ration sensor/switch first as that is the most likely place that the fault is
check engine lights are not solely for the engine but report on transmission problems as well
a transmission mechanical fault is the absolute last that you should consider because the transmission will revert to normal operations until it selects gear 4 which indicates sensor or solenoid problem
