I also have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra.
Awhile back (about 3 years ago maybe) I got a recall letter in the mail saying there was a problem with the airbag if any liquid was spilled in the area around the e-brake. I never did go in and get it fixed. then last year after spilling coffe all over the ebrake handle my airbag light came on. Not sure if it means it is defective or it just need to be checked.

If gauge still shows empty and light is on then inside tank there is a arm thats prob just stuck remove lower rear seat and will see entry to tank gauge has about 3 to 4 screws open and check if arm is down or floating .

Have you tested or replaced your brake light switch at the brake light petal?
Best regards,

about the white smog what i think is the you my have a leak some where in the engine a could be the radiator cup who knows now about your brake light maybe the emergency brake is on/ release the handle ?

I had same problem (cruise control/dashboard lights) for the past month with my 2000 Elantra. Replace the tail lights bulbs - my problem was caused by a problem with the double filament within the bulb. Essententially, there was a short when I turned on the lights or hit the brakes.

I did this last night and everything is working properly now.

There's a small rubber pad which sits on the brake pedal arm, and holds the brake light switch OFF when the pedal is released. When this rubber pad falls off, the brake light switch is on all the time, not just when the pedal is pressed down. Find the rubber pad, and glue it back on, or make a replacement from cardboard, duct tape, whatever.

I've got a 2001 Elantra that "eats" headlights. Within the last five years, I've probably replaced both headlights 10-15 times. Last time I bought bulbs, the clerk at the Auto Zone recommended coating the connection points of the bulbs in electrical grease (which is different than regular grease). It's usually sold in small foil packages at the check-outs. Anyway, this seemed to prolong the life of the bulbs by 3-4 times. It's a cheap fix that didn't completely solved the problem, but sure cut down on the number of bulb replacements.
