I had this problem for awhile too, one day the automatic opener just quit working. My friend fixed it for me. Turns out there's a little lever mechanism on the trunk door, right by the license plate where the locking mechanism is (look up when the trunk is open)... try flipping it and see if the opener will work then. It fixed my problem at least.

SOURCE: disarm alarm on a 2004 sonata

If you use your keyfob to lock the doors, it will activate the alarm, and you will need to unlock with the keyfob. If you lock the doors with the lock button on the inside of the door, it should not activate the alarm.

SOURCE: 2003 Hyundai Sonata Door Lock Problem

I had this problem. Through some research and asking some service personnel I found out it is a fairly easy fix. You will need to buy a new relay switch for the door locks. The dealer will/should know what you need. They are located (two of them, buy two and replace both) on the back side of the fuse box. It is not that easy to get back there. I had to lay on my back with my head up under the instrument panel. They are visible and can be removed if you take some time and be careful. Once I knew what I was looking at, it was easy to replace and the remote works like a charm. You can go to an auto supply, like Autozone, and they should have a schematic to show you where these relays are.

SOURCE: 2009 Hyundai Sonata-clicking noise at brake pedal,brakes applied

This is not a rich mans car so its normal. Your hearing the solinod that lets you take the car out of park after the brake is depressed so the car can't be put in gear unless the brake is on. If the noise bothers you the soliniod can be found and wrapped in insulation like a rich mans car them you can ride on feeling like a rich man too. ( the Beatles sang that a long time ago) and its still true today.

Testimonial: "Thanks. Dealer hasn't been helpful. I'll see how far I can go before I run out of patiencs."

I locked my keys in the trunk of my 2016 Hyundai Sonata. Unable to access trunk via rear seats Can't find any manual release mechanism from within the cab. Roadside assistance says order new keys

On the internet it said the Hyundai Dealer can make you a cheap key for only the trunk, which is cheaper than the regular key if you provide VIN information and proof that you own the vehicle.

If you have another key, or already ordered and received a replacement key, you might still have problem opening trunk, and another person said "Easy way is to press the unlock button on the driver's door. Then the trunk release will work."

I would say it's just coincidence on the coil unless another one goes out then I would think it was a manufacture problem. Air filter remove hose unsnap top on can lift top off remove filter. Open trunk on the side by the taillight is a snap open panel pop it open remove bulb and replace

Where can i find the amp on an 03 sonata

They really hide it. It's bolted to the body on the right side between the trunk and the rear seat, near the right rear wheel well. You get to it by removing the trunkliner - trim in that region. Good luck!
P.S. Careful, many Hyundai / Kia audio systems are 2 ohm, not 4 ohm like most modern car audio systems.

Fuel Filler Lid won't open

it sounds like you have a broken cable that connects from the inside of the car to the release of the gas tank. now the other release ( you said the book says is in the trunk on the lefthand-side ) it is probably under the lining of the trunk because most of them are not in plan sight for you to see.
