Motor malfunction, or the window regulator has broken inside the track.

The 04 Santa Fe came with three different engines. 4 cylinder (2.4 lit), and two different V6's (2.7 lit & 3.5 lit). The 2.4 & 2.7 use throttle cables connected directly to the throttle plate, but the 3.5 uses ETS (Electronic Throttle System) which uses two sensors (APS & TPS) and a control module (ETSCM). APS=Accelerator Position Sensor, TPS=Throttle Position Sensor, ETSCM= Electronic Throttle System Control Module. There are different diagnostic procedures for each system.

There is a fuel shut off switch by the brake master cylinder that may have popped during the accident. it has a rubber top and is round in shape. push on the top of it and if it clicks it reset

Determine if there is FUEL. Spray Starting Fluid into the Air Intake and crank. If it starts then you have a Fuel Delivery Issue. If you Start, then determine if you have SPARK. No Spark, No Fuel, No Air..... Not going to start.

The vent solenoid.

If the check engine light is on (my wife says it looks like a picture of a faucet) take the car to someone who can read the engine codes and that should tell you what's happening. If it isn't on, I cannot help you much. Sounds like a sensor is out of wack.

Things to check; common wire for ground may be disconnected so take the common wire and run a jumper to the battery. lights could be bad they wear out too. Substitute a known good lamp in both sides to see if this fixes problem. Headlights also go thru the dimmer switch so run headlights to battery with a jumper wire. This bypasses headlamp switch and dimmer. Consult the owners manual for fuses,relays and their locations. One fuse box is usually inside passenger compartment and another under the hood. Hope this helps.

Since you are a DIYer? I recommend a repair manual from your favorite auto parts store, or possibly filepeep.com or manualslib.com

Have you checked the air inlet sensor on the air filter. If this fails the engine goes into safety mode which it seems has happened. I don't know the specifics of the Santa fe but this is a feature of most modern electronic engine systems.

YES ITS PART OF THE START MECHENISM IN THE OLD DAYS U COULD JUST JUMPER BETWEEN THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE NOT SURE WITH THIS MODEL

Do you get any lights on the dashboard turning on when you turn the key to run/start positions? Do you get any noise from the starter/solenoid when you turn the key to start? Do the headlights come on when you turn the light switch on (Could you have a dead battery? Check it.) Unlikely spark plugs and power window have any connection. More likely something else happened in between those two events. Try removing negative battery cable, keep off for 10 minutes, then reattach and try starting the car. If you have a diagnostic code reader, attach to the diagnosis port under the dash and turn the ignition key to run position. Read codes and see what the computer detects as the problem.

Shannon was it doing it before you change the bulb if not you put the wroung bulb in one of the socket and power return to dash board and light the light if it was doing that before check you light socket for a bad ground

Which engine? Which control do you have (manual or digital?) If it does not blow on any speed low or high, it might be the fuse. Does your compressor run when you turn on the A/C(you will need a visual check)?

need more information is the car cold or hot when it doesn't start does the starter click or make no noise at all.
