Damaged connection of door handle made of plastic and breaks easy

you will have to change the locking part to fix your issue or try pb blaster

the accent does not have a v6 eng. but if it is an accent, with power locks, sounds like a bad power door lock actuator.

the door 'lock/unlock' actuator is siezed up (corroded).... replace it (or have it replaced).

the little metal rod that goes from the key part of the door lock to the electrical switch has come off ,no doubt the plastic clip that holds it has broken

I took the time to check the handles on the car and they look different. But in the beginning I was not sure if they could be used on both front and back, but by looking close to them I fihured it out. Thanks for having this site to help ppl out, I appreciate it!!!!!!

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.




These wiring diagrams may be helpful. The relays expecially may help solve this issue. As you can see, these relays are also controled by the ETACS module (Remote Keyless Entry).

Your key should work manually (without battery) on at least one door or the trunk/hatch. Otherwise the world would be filled with abandoned hyundais with flat batteries and no way to get in! Try the passenger side door; don't expect to hear the central locking relay, but if you turn the key far enough, that door should open.
