20 Most Recent 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe - Page 5 Questions & Answers

Hi Gayle: If you have confirmed that the fuel pump is defective, (Pressure check is below minimum spec) the normal procedure is to replace it.

Beside the headlight switch is a knob that moves up and down this controls the instrument panel lights turn the knob all the way up just before it clicks

check fuseable link or fuse not blown

I had an Audi doing exactly the same. What happened was that through time, especially if the vehicle gets older with a higher milage, dust and dirt gets into the speedometer itself and causes all the small gears to get sticky. I opened it and lubricated all the small moving parts inside and all were ok. Try it before buying a new speedometer. (I'm talking about the speedometer clock itself) Hope this info might help.

replace the switch

If it starts and runs, it not the security. Check fuses first, then replace the starter.

The dash lights work with the park lights. If the park lights are operational, there is no fuse issue. Make sure the dashlight dimmer control switch is not turned to the low/off position

Ok first of all You don't Have a CARBIE. This is a fuel injected motor. If You are getting Blowback through the intake then You jumped timing or bent a valve. Take it to a Professional

The 2002 Santa Fe 4 cyl and 6 cyl engines are deemed "Interference" engines. If the timing belt should break or slip a few teeth, the pistons will strike the valves and most likely destroy the engine. Thus it is very important to change the timing belt every 80,000 - 100,000 miles (along with a replacement water pump). I recommend buying a belt/pump kit and having a local independent shop do the install (much cheaper than a dealer's $600 charge!). Belt & pump kits are available via Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/lqsqpwo Starting in 207 Hyundai started shifting all of their engines to metal timing "chains"... more or less eliminating the possibility of such a problem. However, water pumps still go out... but not nearly as often or catastrophic a problem!

How do you know it's the sensor? my 20 yr old car different make complained via an engine light, the code said knock sensor several times. had issues with ignition wires fixed. Almost all sensors had corrosion at their connections. I cleaned to bright metal both sides and round toothpick then slide back and forth so that contact areas are mating properly. Not easy to change, Location, since DIYer and you will want one next time Repair manual from an auto parts store. Easy to refer to in the middle of repair.

Bryan: the rotors are different on your car from front to back. I would go online to : AdvanceAutoParts.com then enter your car and under keyword at the top, type in rotors. They will show you all that fit your car.
