Hi
I'm having a nightmare with my 2.5 V6 1999 (UK Spec) at the moment and need some sound advice as to what might be wrong please.
After driving for around 10 minutes the rev counter seems to become eratic and flick down to zero and then back up every now and then, at the same time i am no longer able to use my kick down as the car revs but the counter stays where it is and there...

i Just bought a cd deck for my sonata and was trying to remove the old radio so that i could put the cd deck in and i cant figure out how

you know the light that lights up the gauges? is there a way to change the color to blue? and do you know of a site that would sell what i need?

Hi , Ive did some searching and found out that alot of people have had the same issue with the air bag light being on and it led them to under the driver seat. So i went down there and found a wire with a connector that is not plugged in to anything and i think that is the culprite but the only problem is i cant find where it plugs in to i spent ours upside down trying to find where it goes its...

im having a **** of a time getting the vss off. i can get the wires and the hold down screw off but the unit itself wont budge. i havent wacked it with a mallet of anything cause im afraid itll break off. ive tried tugging and twisting it to no avail. ive been driving it but my speedo doesnt work and its getting real annoying. theirs gotta be a trick to it.

I tried the search button and didn't get any results. Do you guys think that it would be hard to swap in a manual transmission from a Tiburon into my V6 Sonata. The tiptronic is ok, but it is still an automatic and I'd like a bit more control. Thanks guys.

I have a 2000 Sonata GLS V6. My Fan switch needs replacement and the dealer want $185.00 to do it. I was wonder how hard it waould be to acces the switch? It looks as though I only need to remove the center dash paneling (wood grain
plastic) to get to the switch and pull a few connected wires. If anyone can confirm that the paneling is all I need to remove I'd appreciate it. Also I...

Hello all, I am having an issue with my 02 Sonata V6 GLS. The check engine light is on and when I scan for the the codes I receive the following:
P0447
P0031
P0051
P0037

I receive each code twice. I have the details on what each code is, but I was wondering if anyone has encountered this before. It seems to me that there must be a single cause for all of these...

I just purchased a used 2002 Hyundai Sonata with 55,000 miles on it. I didn't notice when I bought it that the AM radio is very staticky. The FM radio is tolerable, but still a little static. The cd player sounds fine through the speakers.

I assume it is an antenna problem. I've never changed one before. I hear it is quite expensive just for the power antenna part. Maybe I...

I have a 96 Sonata with a 4G63 2 ltr engine and a 5speed box (step mount type)

1999 Hyundai Sonata
The windshield wiper motor barely works on low, high and hags in the middle of the intermittent mode. I replaced the motor and now it is doing the same thing plus blowing the wiper fuse? I am at a loss right now! Just scratching my head and thinking I will probably have to bring the car to a mechanic?

Plse se attached diagram. Do you now which of these is the fuse for the wiper?

The car has now been in the shop 3 times for the same "Check Engine" light indication.. The first time was at 20,000 miles.. the dealer I took it to said the code indicated a loose gas cap.. I questioned that, but made an effort to put it on tight.. then at 52,000 miles, it came on again.. I did the 4 key (on/off) sequence and the light would extinguish for about a week then come back...

I just picked up my v6 Sonata from a local shop, having had them replace the drive belt, timing belt and tensioner at 60k miles. As soon as I started it I heard a tapping, and thought this was from it sitting a few days, so I let it idle for a moment then took off. It sounded like the tap died off at this point. After getting home, 3 miles away, and stopping I could clearly hear the tapping...

I've been looking around for a 1989 Sonata owner's manual, but can't find one for the life of me. My car didn't come with one, and no stores in my area carry them. If anyone has a link to one over the internet (downloadable would be nice default/' '' /> ) or an...

After searching Ebay and such, I found an wire harness for the premium sound system to work with the amplified factory unit. If you are installing a new deck for HD radio or an Ipod....the factory harness couldn't be found to work with the amplified system or the H290 radio.

Scosche has one that will work without having to bypass the amplifier system. It is listed for an 2006...

Hey all!
I did a search but didn't find results.

Our '05 Sonata (V6 - ~63k miles) has occassionally made a high pitched whistle after driving. It seems to do it on a drive after a hot day and seems to come from the passenger side in the engine compartment. Due to the location of the sound, I'm wondering if it has something to do with the air conditioning...

8591]Hello. I just slapped some 18" rims on my '04 Sonata and there is quite a gap between the tires and the wheel well. Does anybody have any ideas on how to drop the ride about 1" - 1.5"? I am looking at some Eibach springs that should do the job. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello All,

I just purchased a @2004 Sonata loaded....The stereo has a "choose disc" arrow ...I am un able to load a second disc though...By the manual it states that the cd/cdc button should display on the LCD but it does not for some reason..I did see a post that suggested unplugging the battery, then trying to load again...At any rate the stereo is being replaced soon but if...

The horn on my 2005 Sonata 2.4DX has stopped working. The fuse is OK, I have checked that the relay is working but there is no voltage to horn connections. Is there another relay somewhere? Help Please.

Can somebody show me how to remove the driver's door panel please?

thanks,

I want to change the brake pads because no matter how much water I clean the wheels (inside the holes too) the sqeaking is killing me. I've taken the car to numerous places to check the brakes and I always get "they're fine, just dirty," yet no matter what they do (if anything) I'm squeaking within a day.

Would you spend the big bucks and go to a dealership, or...

So im attempting to put in a head unit from my old vehicle in my sontata. i got the correct wiring harness. i even checked it against the wiring diagram from the hmaservice. i know that the wiring matches up but when i turn the new head unit on i have no sound. i know that sound is coming from the head unit cause i plugged a home stereo speaker up to it which worked fine.. im unsure now why i dont...

Hello Experts,
I have a 2002 hyundai sonata driven 85K miles. I have never changed transmission fluid on the car. I had gone for oil change and the mechanic showed that the transmission fluid was black and needed to be changed.

I would really appreciate it if experts can let me know what are the parts that need to be replaced as part of transmission fluid change and what is the...

Hey! my first post here!

I'm wanting to flush my own trans fluid (03 Sonata 2.7L V6) next weekend. I can get my hands on the spIII fluid, and the filter/gasket, but was wondering if anyone else has flushed their automatic trans. I've done it on my Chrysler Concorde, and it's pretty easy:

Drop the pan,
replace the filter and pan gasket,

Having a charging issue on a 01 2.4 Sonata, alt. charges then quits, battery light and brake warning dash lights come on, no output, had alt. bench tested, checked out OK, reconnect and it works for a short while, have battery voltage at hot stud, and 3 terminals on the plug, all connections are clean, the diagram shows a generator relay, which I can't find, and a Pre exitation resistor which...

It's time to the flush the coolant system on my 2005 but I can't find the drain valve. Can someone give a guy a hint?

My friend has a 95 Sonata and the front doors won't open. They will lock and unlock, but won't open. I am guessing the locking mechanism is stuck on the lock position on both doors. Any ideas?

I'm just getting a 1989 Hyundai Sonata and everything with it is perfect, except a few minor things. The background with it is, my boyfriend is a tow truck driver and hauld away this car for scrap. The previous owner wanted it gone just because the exhaust had a hole in it, which is getting repaired. It runs and is great but I'm having issues with the Driver's side Rear Door. It...

Hello everybody

Where I can found a Hyundai Sonata EF 2001-2002 Part Number List?

I need a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) but I do not have a Code List

Thanks a lot for your answers

Hey all...02 Sonata 4cyl gls. My check engine light has come on, and now I can't put gas in it. Start putting gas in, it just burps back and shuts off the pump. Pump again, same thing. Takes like 10 minutes just to put a few dollars into the car as it keeps shutting off, no matter how slow you try to trickle the gas in. Any thoughts on this combination of probs? Also seems to require...

My dads 2002 Sonata has a radio problem. It turns on and off by it self. The antenna goes up and down when that happens. Does any one know if there is a way to fix the problem with out replacing the radio? Thanks

My daughter has an 01 Sonata, 2.4, the battery drained, I had the alt. tested, it checked OK, diodes, reg, everything, took it home put it back on, it worked, 14.3v. She was leaving it stopped working, relaced thinking maybe when it got hot, it failed, new one same way. Is there a fuse, a link, or breaker I am overlooking? All connections are clean and tight, load test on battery good. What else...

I just noticed in the book last night. I don't think mines ever been changed and I'm at 70k. They didn't do it at my 60k mile tune up. I looked through my papers and found something about cleaning fuel pump or something, but absolutely no mention of "fuel filter." Am I in for a world of hurt? How many of you have actually had this done? How much did it cost you? From what I...

Hi Everyone,

New here from Pacific Grove, CA (near Monterey) with the following problem that I hope you can help with. I want to replace the Windshield Washer pump in my wife's '02 Sonata but cannot locate info as to the location. The wipers work but no sound from the washer so I assume it's the pump. Any advise would be extremely helpful. Thanks. ...

2003 Sonata V6 Cruise Control won't work when headlights are on. Works fine otherwise. Also notice that during the day when I put my foot on the brake pedal the gauges light-up (brighten) is that normal?

Hello all. I have an '03 sonata with 52000 miles, and there is a new noise, which I suspect is a brake pad warning noise ( a slight whining sound when the brakes are NOT being applied), my question is, do I need to rush to get new pads, or do I have a little time before it's metal to metal? Thanks for any help.

I have run into what many others have-either my input/output sensor or my throttle sensor,or both according to one response,have blown.
If you've had this problem and taken it to the dealer to fix,how much did it cost you?
One poster said their dealer asked 600,is that pretty much what Im lookin at?
I also saw one poster fixed it himself for 200,parts included,but i havent seen...

Hi All,



I have a 2002 Hyundai Sonata. I recently took it to a car repair center due to a loss in power. They informed me that the catalytic converters were bad and would need to be replaced. The total cost would be approx. $3000, with 120,000 miles on the car I was not interested. So I have decided to try and make it a DIY project. I have a couple questions….

My 2000 Sonata V6 is having a lot of problems. Shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear seems to be a large problem, most of the time it will simply not do it, and I have to let off the gas, and let back on and it will correct itself and keep going. I get very random kickbacks from the car when shifting into other gears, and sometimes it will simply start and then die right away, or just not start, and I...

Hi there! My dashboard trunk-open indicator light in my 2000 Sonata started staying on a few weeks ago and won't turn off. An independent repair shop, and then the dealer checked and had trouble finding the problem. Even with the trunk switch disconnected, the light stays on. It flickers while driving, and will go on and off depending on whether the car is moving from accellerating or...

I have a 2000 Sonota . Approximately 4 years ago the paint on my hood (near the front) started to bubble and rust. And it was not due to any exterior paint surface chipping. It turned out that the seams along the bottom side of the hood allowed water to enter and be captured. The rusting is more prominent Snow Belt / New England regions where salt is used to melt the ice/snow during the winter...
