#3166 of 3260 Re: No Fuel [zigadabuzz] by brumfelt May 04, 2009 (7:02 pm)
Replying to: zigadabuzz (May 04, 2009 11:35 am) I will change the filter first and go from there. However, I could not find a fuse or relay in either the panel under the dash or the panel under the hood that was labeled for the fuel pump. Do you know anything regarding where the fuel pump fuse or relay might be located or how it is labeled??? Am I missing something?? Thanks zigadabuzz for any additional info.....

Replying to: stephen987 (May 04, 2009 11:54 am) You're right, I should chg. the filter first and it probably does need it. I would like to check for bad fuses or relays before I get into changing the fuel pump but I do not see any fuse or relay in either the panel under the dash or the panel under the hood. Do you know anything about where the fuel pump relay or fuse might be located and how it might be labeled???? Thanks stephen987 for any new info you may provide. Oh!! do you know how to access the fuel pump located in the gas tank??? Do I need to drop the tank to do this???   thanks!!
#3168 of 3260 ECU fuse blowing by brumfelt May 07, 2009 (5:54 am)
Does anyone know why the large fuse under the hood labeled ECU keeps blowing in my Elantra. It will only happen when I drive my car. It can set and idle forever and nothing happens but when I start to drive it it heats up the fuse and it blows. When the fuse goes I lose the fuel pump and the car shuts down. Help anyone!!!!!

Replying to: brumfelt (May 07, 2009 5:54 am) That could be any number of things, from a wiring harness that shorts out when the car is moving, to a bad ECU that draws too much current when more functions are operating, to a bad contact in the fuse holder.   It will take a skilled electrics/electronics person to track this one down, I am afraid.   Has the vehicle been involved in any accidents?
#3170 of 3260 Side View Mirror Glass by jacktb May 11, 2009 (10:40 am)
Does anyone have experience with replacing the side view mirror glass? Mine is broken but the housing is not damaged. I've order the glass from a parts house but would like to hear from someone that has actually done this repair. Thanks. --Jack Replies to this message: danib1977 (May 11, 2009 5:43 pm) backy (May 11, 2009 5:51 pm) danib1977 (May 11, 2009 5:59 pm) and 1 more... brumfelt (May 11, 2009 6:45 pm) gomst1 (May 11, 2009 5:49 pm) jacktb (May 12, 2009 11:24 am) jacktb (May 12, 2009 12:01 pm) gomst1 (May 12, 2009 5:33 pm) and 2 more... brumfelt (May 11, 2009 6:25 pm) jacktb (May 12, 2009 11:14 am)
#3171 of 3260 So many issues by danib1977 May 11, 2009 (5:43 pm)
Replying to: jacktb (May 11, 2009 10:40 am) Did I just get a bad car or do other people have as many issues?   I have a 1997 Hyundai Elantra wagon that I got used. I had it inspected and needed new brakes and rotors (front & back.) Ten days after I purchased the car the transmission went. I had it rebuilt (basically new since all the parts are brand new) I've replaced the batter and alternator. When I had it inspected this year my check engine light was on and needed a manifold because mine was cracked, also had the front drivers caliper replaced because it was leaking. (My check engine still comes on when it is cold out.) Now my passenger side front caliper is spewing fluid everywhere.   I bought the car because everyone I know who has a Hyundai loves them and the reviews I read were all very good. So did I just end up with a bad car? Replies to this message: backy (May 11, 2009 5:51 pm) danib1977 (May 11, 2009 5:59 pm) backy (May 11, 2009 6:04 pm) brumfelt (May 11, 2009 6:45 pm)

Replying to: jacktb (May 11, 2009 10:40 am) I have taken off and reinstalled both side mirrors of my 2008 Elantra in order to install LED turn signal lights. Instructions on how to remove the mirror is on YOUTUBE at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM2u7lWscKg&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Esharkracing%2- Ecom%2Facecart%2Fbin%2Fshop%2Ecgi%3Faction%3Dview%26itemID%3Dledmirrordiy%26cate- %3D070000000&feature=player_embedded Replies to this message: jacktb (May 12, 2009 11:24 am) jacktb (May 12, 2009 12:01 pm) gomst1 (May 12, 2009 5:33 pm) jacktb (May 14, 2009 12:49 pm) jacktb (May 19, 2009 12:20 pm)

Replying to: danib1977 (May 11, 2009 5:43 pm) First, you bought a 12-year-old econobox. You didn't say how many miles were on it, what condition it was in, and whether you had the car inspected before you bought it. On a 12-year-old car, anything can go at any time. No surprise a 12-year-old car would need new brakes and rotors. Battery and alternator too. Transmissions can and do go--was it checked by a mechanic before you bought it? An inspection might have detected a problem--or maybe not. Hyundai put a 10-year, unlimited mileage warranty on Elantra manifolds about 10 years ago, because of some cracking issues--your car may be too old to qualify for that.   Also, if you did some research you might have seen that Hyundai started its quality initiative around 1998. Before then, it designed and built cars to one purpose only: low price. The Gen 2 Elantra, which you have, was a decent car for a low-priced econobox but not nearly the same quality as more recent Hyundais.

#3174 of 3260 Re: So many issues [backy] by danib1977 May 11, 2009 (5:59 pm)
Replying to: backy (May 11, 2009 5:51 pm) I did have it checked by a mechanic before I bought it and he said it was is great condition, then had it at a different shop for the state inspection/ emissions neither one detected any problems with the car. It had 98k miles on it which was one of the reasons I got the car. I wasn't too surprised with the brakes and rotors needing to be replaced, and was expecting that from my initial inspection of it before I purchased it.   Thanks Backy, I will keep that in mind when looking for a new car. When it is running, it is running great, but all of the problems and issues are getting tiresome. I never had so many issues with a car that was over 20 years old! LOL They sure don't make them like they used to. Replies to this message: backy (May 11, 2009 6:04 pm)

Replying to: danib1977 (May 11, 2009 5:59 pm) Yes, that is certainly true with a 1997 Elantra. Now you know why the previous owner got rid of it when they did.
