Even if i turn the car on and turn the lights on and off, as soon as it turns back to accessories or off and the key is removed the lights turn back on.

Hi,welcome to fix ya.
The ignition switch contacts wear out on these and cause this as well. do you have an add-on alarm? have you tried locking and unlocking both doors using the key to reset the factory alarm?

On many cars, if the battery is dead, it locks the key in the ignition. Put a battery charger on the car or replace the battery and give it a shot.
Good luck.

You have a bad ignition switch the mechanical part is operating but when it is turned off it is not pulling the switch to the off position, two things that I can think of can cause this. One is the rod that runs down the steering column is slightly bent from wear over time and allows it to start but when the rod moves in the reverse direction the bent rod is slightly to high to pull the switch to the off position. The other problem could be with the switch itself the return spring inside the switch could be broken so the switch does not turn off. You can remove the bottom kick panel and disconnect the battery then with a flash light look on the top of the column and see if you can see the rod moving when turning the key off and on if it's moving then it is the adjustment of the rod or the switch. To remove the switch you will have to drop the steering wheel down to get to the switch, you may be able to get to the switch without dropping the column but it will be harder to see what is wrong with it. There are two bolts that hold the switch on and has a multi flat connector on it you have to squeeze the two plastic ears on each end of the switch to release the wire harness. Then you will have to wiggle the connector loose

Definitely a starting system problem. That sound you hear in the back is the fuel pump.
Starting system circuit components (besides wiring harness)
1. Ignition Key Switch - closes the starter relay control circuit to energize the relay and close the contacts inside the relay (you can check this by locating the relay in the underhood fuse/relay box and have a friend turn the key while you listen/feel if the relay 'clicks'
2. Starter Relay or its Contacts
3. Starter Solenoid - pushes/pulls the starter gear into the engine's flywheel ring-gear and its contacts close to provide battery power to the starter itself.
4. Starter itself - poor brush contact with the armature's commutator will prevent the starter to spin/turn
If you are 'Electrically' talented, you can check to see if you're getting battery power to the starter solenoid by using a simple 12 volt test light/bulb. Connect one lead to the starter solenoid terminal and the other to chassis/engine ground and have a buddy turn the ignition key - if the light turns 'ON', then you know that particular circuit is OK but the starter solenoid is not energizing to push the starter gear into the flywheel ring-gear to turn the engine over. If it doesn't, the problem is elsewhere (wiring, starter relay, starter relay control circuit, etc).
You can have a qualified Hyundai Service Technician properly diagnose your vehicle. OR, you can Go to www.hmaservice.com and register your vehicle by VIN #.. you'll then have access to wiring diagrams, shop manuals, service bulletins, illustrations, etc.
