Replying to: jonathann (Jul 30, 2009 2:52 pm) Glad to help! Generally, keyless entry systems are actually a security system with limited features, or in some cases features disabled by default that are actually supported like the automatic locking that you're looking for.

Replying to: kiawah (Jul 30, 2009 3:55 pm) kiawah: I did ask to have this function activated before delivery but the service manager knew nothing about it. He might be correct and the function might not exist. However, from my experience with the Santa Fe, I am not willing to trust this information without digging deeper.

Replying to: colin_l (Jul 31, 2009 5:31 am) colin_l: That is interesting. So the keyless entry and security systems are integrated. Apparently, it is never too late to learn something new. Thanks again.

#4880 of 4967 Cirrus Electrical Problem by phizix Aug 03, 2009 (8:35 am)
Hi All, I have a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus with two symptoms of an electrical problem. First, voltage regulation is occasionally bad, usually after driving 5-10 min, and bad enough to cause visible flickering in the headlights. Second, the car will occasionally not start; I turn the key and voltage is lost (i.e. the clock resets, no internal lights). 10 seconds later, the car starts just fine. The alternator and battery check out fine. Anyone have an idea here? Jim Replies to this message: burdawg (Aug 03, 2009 12:51 pm) bolivar (Aug 03, 2009 11:23 pm) phizix (Aug 05, 2009 12:46 pm)

Replying to: phizix (Aug 03, 2009 8:35 am) If the battery and alternator test good, how about the ignition switch?

Replying to: phizix (Aug 03, 2009 8:35 am) Battery cable, either one/both - loose connection at either ends, corrosion inside the insulation. Replies to this message: phizix (Aug 05, 2009 12:46 pm)

Replying to: bolivar (Aug 03, 2009 11:23 pm) Right on; the problem was corrosion at the negative battery terminal. Thanks! Jim
#4884 of 4967 Changing ATF by drdonrs Aug 12, 2009 (5:34 pm)
2006 Hyundai Sonata LX6 with auto tranny 12,500 miles and 3 1/2 yrs. Maintenance requires replace ATF at 30,000 mi. or 24 mos. Fluid is still reddish and no odor, dealer recommends replace fluid. Yes or no? Seems like a ripoff. Replies to this message: colin_l (Aug 12, 2009 6:24 pm) bolivar (Aug 12, 2009 8:01 pm)
