On the Tucson it is quite easy..... have changed 2 on my 2005 Tucson.....do it in this sequence and you shouldn't have any problems 1st disconnect both cables on the battery then do it 2nd remove serpentine belt... 3rd jack up the car at least where the tire is at least 4 inches off the ground.. 4th remove tire.. 5th remove inner splash guard.... 6th remove brake riser bracket... (2 bolts)... 7th remove upper bolt on alt... 8th remove upper alt bracket (2 bolts)....9th this is the hard one remove the lower bolt on the alt.... the bolt cannot be removed the lower mount actually drops into the mount.... it lifts up.... disconnect both cables one snaps in the other bolts on reverse the order and you can have it done in less than 2 hrs total time

follow the rad. hose on the top to the motor there will be a houseing on the end it most of the time is an elbo piece there are 2 or 3 bolts holding it on its in there

This seams to be a common problem with these. There was a problem on some Tucsons with a mis-aligned underhood switch that is connected to the alarm/security system. If it is misaligned, the security system is constantly drawing power but there are no outward signs that is doing so. Worth a look! :)
Also it could be the Radio . Those radios are known to drain batteries.
Also i have heard the door locks are a culprit.
I would check all three.
First i would pull the fuse for the radio and see what happens see if the battery gets drained still. if it doesn't get drained? Cool! Replace that radio with an after market one. If it does get drained ? I would pull the fuse for the door locks. and try that. The door locks on those vehicles are known to be speratric and can lock an unlock multiple times until the battery is dead. If thats the case with you? Bring it to a dealer and tell them what you did as far as testing.
Let me know what happens as far as outcome.
Please leave me a great feedback on here.

If you have replaced the sensor, check the wires at the back of the plug. Pull them one at a time, if they stretch it is a broken wire. When you get a high reading code. It is either it's unplugged or a wire is broken.

Incorrect. As long as it IS/WAS original factory alarm & key fob previously programmed to you Hyundai, it is the easiest to program yourself.
There are multiple different sites listing many ways to program, but the majority suggest you close all doors, insert key into ignition, turn only to the ACC on ignition switch but do not start, then hold down the unlock/open button on fob until the alarm hazard lights blink & you are done.
