2007 Hyundai Accent GS Hatchback - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

There should be a small relay behind the brake pedal that releases a small plunger when the brake is applied. Remove this relay and take it to AutoZone, they will have a replacement. If you can't locate it on your own, go buy the replacement and look for the matching part behind the pedal.

Did you remove the battery or jump-start the car recently? that gives your radio an ICDE error.
To fix it: Easy fix - firstly, you'll need to remove the stereo to get to the serial number. Have the following tools ready, either: a) 2 metal rulers b) 1 metal ruler and 2 kitchen knives you don't mind bending c) 2 kitchen knives and one fork you don't mind bending d) possibly 2 forks will also work
Okay, here goes (I used option c):
1) use a kitchen knife to remove the black plastic border around your stereo. 2) on either side you should see the metal bracket and a smaller metal flap - place your fork between the bracket and the flap on the left hand side. jam it in quite far, so it can release the internal clips. 3) place your knives so that the flat (non-cutting) edges are touching and jam it in on the right side (basically so it works like a metal ruler for the clips, which I didn't have on hand) 4) use leverage to prise the whole unit out slightly. You can then remove it by hand. You don't need to remove it fully, you just need to see the serial number, which is on the top in the upper, right corner. 5) take the last 4 numbers of the serial and do some maths! You need to add 1/2/1/2 to the numbers in sequence. For example, if the last 4 numbers are 9462 then your maths should give you 0674 (9 1, 4 2, 6 1, 2 2). Another example is 1234=2446. Remember the number you end up with!! 6) start the electrics of your car (2 key turns). The radio should say ICDE. 7) For this example, pretend the number you ende dup with is 0674. Press the "1" on your stereo until the first number after ICDE says 0. Press "2" until the second number says 6. "3" until the third says 7 and "4" until the fourth says 4. You should end up with the display saying: "ICDE0674". Press the "5" on your stereo and MAGIC, your radio is working again!! 8) push the stereo back in at re-attach the face plate.
p.s. I accept no responsibility if you get zapped or break anything while trying this. I may feel a bit guilty (but not responsible, remember) if I hear on the news that you got zapped though. enjoy your tunes!

remove the door trim and get to it from the inside of the door

The glass is installed using a strong verithane adhesive and is best left to a professional to prevent breaking the glass and leaking after installation.

There could be a module located somewhere that controls your lights and it is malfunctioning. Check with your local dealerships parts dept to find out

Hello Ruth, Wow.. there's a HUGE amount of internet "CHATTER" on this topic...!! For your INTERNET SEARCH you want to use "2007 OEM Hyundai sun-visor clip" ... about $9. (available on eBay... in colors) $19 on Amazon (see below) >> Immediately call a couple of dealer parts houses to see if they still have them in stock... Buy a couple!! Else ... you are going to be calling auto-salvage to get the part... and if it is EASILY BROKEN... they will be scarce... (term: "junking").

sounds to me it could be a plugged catalytic converter. the symptoms are runs good , no strain, or on the flats, then loses power with exertion, or long uphill to the point you think it's going to just quit on you. easy test is to unbolt the catalytic inlet, and give it a quick test run. sometimes you can tell by having someone race the engine while you monitor the exhaust to see if enough comes out of it. usually happens over 75,000 miles

checking the gear oil on the Manual transmission requires you to get under the car, and about 1/2 to 3/4 way up the side of the transmission, there is an about 1/2" ***** in plug. remove the plug, and stick your finger in the hole. the gear oil should be up to the bottom of that hole to be full. most manual trans use 90 weight gear oil.

Check bulbs

There should be one just before and one just past your catalytic converter.

If it's a cable system, I would suspect the cable was frayed. If it uses a hydraulic system, maybe there's air in the line. When the air is heated, the clutch line gets mushy, (much more noticeable when it happens with a brake line). It could need a hydraulic cylinder repair kit too..

have you check fuel pressure to make sure its good. then check to see if the fuel injectors are working. are there any codes in the PCM.

this indicates a misfire on cylinder 3. it could have be plug, wire, coil. the water may have caused a short when these items got wet.

Hi located under the back seat - beneath a black platic plate- is the fuel pump unit. When this unit is remived u will find the fuel filter inside of it- causion is advised wen taking this unit appart if a clip breaks, as it is platic, u f@kd.

You would probably need to change leads as well and or run an injector cleaner through and take a long drive to get it through nice. Pretty shaw leads though.

Chech all fuses first

should be 1.6L engine. easy to replace but is a belt not chain. unless you know how to line up camshaft / crankshaft, I'd pay for the labor. full kit on RockAuto.com is about $50 remove front right wheel, unbolt engine mount top passenger side, loosen accessory pump at top, remove timing belt covers (upper & lower), replace belt and idlers from kit. to reassemble....reverse steps. yes, it is that simple BUT not for a neophyte. inspect original belt before replacement, if no cracks, I'd leave alone. mine had 145,000 at replacement and was still good.

I suspect that your problem isn't in a fuse, it's in the brake light switch mounted up near the hinge point of the brake pedal, under the dashboard.

What about it? Its open? You can't open it? What do you need?

It could be a lot of things. These cars do however have a history of bad crankshaft sensors. Start there and also check the camshaft sensor. I would need much more detail about the problem to be any more helpful.
