My car is a Hyundai Elantra 2008 model (1.6 litre engine). When I insert the key into the ignition and turn it round to the end, it will not make any sound. The battery sign on the dash board and other indicators will show but the car has not roared to life. This started since yesterday and is rather surprising
Does the key work properly the key should go to the run position first then to the start position then after the car starts back to run .... if everthing is ok there
first check the battery make sure that it is fully charge... second check the cables make sure the are good and making good contact ... third check to make sure that the ground (neg cable is connected to the motor ) wiggle it a few times last replace eather the fuseable link between the starter and the ignition switch of the starter ... if this is the first time this has happened try to jump out the starter there is a little wire on the starter short it with the big red wire to see if the starter comes to life if it does its the little wire that goes to the ignition (has a fuse in the wire) if the starter doesn't start the car change the starter ( last try to start the car in neutral to be sure the switch there is ok
Do you get a clicking sound? If so it could be the battery or the starter. If not then its the starter solanoid (relay)
