2007 Hyundai Sonata Limited Sedan - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

DO NOT use this vehicle! Smoke and a burning smell could be something serious! There is a huge amount of wires and electronics in a modern engine so unless you know what your doing DON'T mess about with the wiring. The safest thing to do now is to get a good Auto Electrician to come to you to look at this as soon as possible. This needs to be sorted as soon as you can to stop it becoming a VERY expensive problem. The rear right corner of the engine is where the main fuse box is located so this could be anything from a small wire to something much more serious.

An engine light means you need to get this looked at as soon as possible! The 'clicking' could be something serious. Most good garages and mobile mechanics will have a Diagnostic System or an OBD2 scanner that when plugged into your vehicle will provide specific 'Trouble Codes' that give clues as to what could be wrong. They will charge for this sao shop around as prices can be very different.

Electronic Stability Control (or ESC) is a new crash avoidance system found on many vehicles. Unlike air bags, which only help you during a collision, ESC will help you to avoid loss of control that could lead to a collision.
ESC is designed to help you stay in control of your vehicle during an emergency manoeuvre, such as when you need to swerve or brake suddenly to avoid an obstacle.
ESC monitors your steering versus the direction of the vehicle. When they do not match, ESC will automatically actuate the brakes at one or more wheels for short periods of time, reduce engine power, or both. If at all possible, ESC will help you maintain control of your vehicle.
ESC is automatically "ON" whenever you start your vehicle. Some vehicles have an ESC Off switch; this switch is needed to disable ESC during certain situations such as when you are stuck in snow. If your vehicle has an ESC Off switch, refer to the vehicle owner's manual for more information. Unless you manually shut ESC Off, it will remain active until you turn the engine off.

first check to see if the lock out switch on the main power window switch is in the off position ! this will not allow those windows to work if off

go to an auto electrician and have a check done on the charging system there is a heavy power draw indicated when the brakes are applied and that indicates either a short or a high resistance incurred

These codes indicate your accelerator position sensor has malfunctioned. The computer has gone into limp mode, which allows you to drive to safety without damaging the engine. The computer is unable to determine how far you are depressing the accelerator and doesn't want to over-rev the engine. You need a new sensor.

There is a 125 amp fuse in the relay box and a 10 amp cluster fuse in the instrument panel fuse box. That cluster fuse may be powering the field coil.

Here is a drawing showing the location on the 2.4L engine....

door reciever or lock has issues did you scan the car first. does the receiver put 12dc to the unlock solenoid. if yes the solenoid is bad. if not the receiver has issues. (check connections first there)

sounds very odd. try pushing key in whilst juggling the wheel, any difference? Is the key bent or damaged in some way? Is is possible that something is in the bootom of the ignition barrel that is obstructing the keys full entry? (had that happen on one of my cars years ago) be interested to know what it is Good Luck)

There is a lock that is activated by the brake pedal. You should hear a click by the gear selector when you step on the brake pedal. If you don't hear the click then you probably have a cut wire that goes to the brake safety actuator

return to the future 20013 and ask them.

Light or fog light lamps? On what vehicle? Please re-post. Or are you trying to change them from On to Off, or vice versa? Please re-post.

If you are getting a smell like rotten eggs my first guess would be the critical converter. I would check with someplace like MIDIS they will check it out for a small fee, sometimes for free. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/john_411a7faba7ce8217

Hi Benjamin, It is very important! Regards John

You have to go to the dealership and have them reset it. My wife's has been on for 4 years on her sonata, doesn't hurt anything.

Hello. Changing radios is fun. If you want to change the radio, make sure it will fit and that there will be enough room for it. You will need a installation kit if it is a aftermarket radio. If it is a Hyundai factory radio, then it is easyer to install. Good Luck.

Hi Sandra, Have a diagnostic scan carried out on the vehicle. The usual problem is with the cassette unit mounted behind the steering wheel. Regards John

this is best fixed by replacing the cable as it is most likely frayed internally and jamming in the case.

I have got same model and have had 7 wheel alignments but still wanders with the camber of the road I have had everything checked. I took it to pro axle the last time he tightened steering box as well as alignment bit better but still annoying. Nissan should not be aloud to sell cars with crap steering I no of a few people with same problem if I find a solution will let you no
