02 Santa Fe brake and battery lights wet conditions only

I have a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and I hit a large puddle and the brake light and the battery light came on while I lost power steering and brakes. After 30 seconds, the lights went off and the car was fine. I didn't stall, either. Despite letting the car dry out, this now happens any time I hit a medium or large puddle.

cold can play hell with electronics. if it happens again (provided the battery is the proper one for that vehicle) hit the accelerator and see if the lights go out. sometimes just a good warm up will rectify the issue. happy holidays

2002 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

I had the same problem with a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving to work as I pressed on the gas the brake and battery light would come on. When I applied the brake, the lights would go off. When I got to work I turned the car off and then tried to start it, nothing. The car made a funny sound while running and I could smell somethig smoking. I replaced the alternator and all is good again. When removing the alternator the bottom lifts off the mounting bracket, you cannot drive the bottom bolt back through the mount as I tried to. Simply remove the nut on the bottom bolt and remove the top bolt, then lift the alternator out.
