2003 santa fe smell of burning rubber. blower fan stopped working

On a hot day my ac wasn't working well (actually, it hadn't been for a week or so) and I was on the highway when I started to smell burning rubber or something. I turned off the music and could hear a rattle under the passenger side dash. I stopped the car for a while and let it cool down. When I restarted it the fan did not work.

SOURCE: need instructions on removing hyundai santa fe 01 fan belt ac

its your serpentine belt (thats what its called) and you will need a 3/8 ratchet and then find the belt tensioner. The tensioner has a spot where you need to put the ratchet into and pull or push depending on whatever way and that will releive the pressure off the belt so you can take it off.

SOURCE: 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe Lost power now won't start

Sounds like the timming belt jumped or broke. A faulty crank sensor could also be at fault.

When asking a question about a problem with your vehicle you should always state your vehicles od reading and engine size, thanks.

SOURCE: blower fan won't shut off its or climate control

My 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis had a similiar problem. The blower fan continuously ran at full blast and wouldn't shut off now matter what!
It was the part called the Blower Motor Resistor had gone out. I purchased it for $50.00 from the Dealer and replaced it myself. You can get a diagram from your dealer or online. It is kind of hard to get to but if the dealer had replaced it.....it would have cost $200!

SOURCE: where is the cabin fan in 2002 hyundai santa fe

I am working on this very problem as I type! It's located directly behind the glove box. 


empty the tray of glove box items before beginning.Remove glove box by taking the stop string out of the right side where it goes into the glove box tray.

Pull the string into the box and rotate the T stop so it will follow the string out the hole. Then remove the 1-2 screws on the left side of the glove box and the right side of the glove box.

The tray edges need to be pushed inward so the tray will flip open past the rubber stop slots allowing easy access to the screws. The whole box assembly should pull slightly toward the seat and drop out.

The cabin air filter is located behind the smoke colored fabric (Velcro backed) and can be accessed by pulling open the fabric flaps, then turning the small knob in on the filter slot cover. Doing this will allow the lower half to be pulled downward separating it fromt he upper half of the cover, now pus the upper half of the cover slightly up and remove it. the filter can now be accessed, pulling into the passenger compartment and out of the car to be discarded. The filter is approximately 8 inches square by 1 inch thick. If you do not have the OE filter or want to save money, you can get a high quality pleated home HVAC filter in 4x the size of the removed filter. Cut it into 4 filters of correct size and insert one at a time every 6-12 months.

Whole change process will take 30 minutes average, with a bit longer the first time.

Phillips screwdriver, and stubby phillips should be all you need for tools. Recommend latex gloves to avoid handling dirty filter.

Reassembly is the same process in reverse

04 Santa Fe burning smell running ac....

Sounds like the A/C compressor clutch has overheated and become inoperable. Open the hood, start engine, observe the compressor face. It should be turning and also see if that's where the noise and burning smell is coming from.
Good luck!!!
