Replying to: stonejd1 (Sep 02, 2007 6:43 am) You have a plugged drain tube. It's a somewhat common problem in any car equipped with A/C. If the drain tube gets plugged or kinked, condensate can't get out and instead backs up until it finds some other way out. In your case, it is getting in the passenger footwell. You need to get it corrected right away, or you can have mold start to develop.   If you've ever been in an old car that really smelled bad when the air was turned on, it had the same problem.

Replying to: barelyhere (Jun 21, 2007 8:32 am) See previous messages 4, 5, 9, 13 & 18. Info there may help. Since I got my Santa Fe out of the shop in June, the air has been fine. I still can't explain that one! Hopefully, it will continue working, and I hope you can find a solution to your problem, too.

Replying to: kdahlquist (Sep 02, 2007 5:39 pm) Thanks for the prompt response. I was concerned about mold or mildew in the damp carpet and will get the drain tube looked at right away (if I can't find it myself). Replies to this message: duhbie (Sep 01, 2009 5:24 pm)
#73 of 98 Climate Control Panal Flashes by rugzy May 03, 2008 (9:05 pm)
I have a 2007 LTD AWD Santa Fe. Just today the control panel for the climate system has begun to flash like crazy. All the switches and functions still work but all of the button lights and the whole screen flashes intermittently. Obviously this is a warranty issue but I was wondering if anyone else has run into this.

Replying to: rugzy (May 03, 2008 9:05 pm) Today I went out and did a little investigating and I found out that the climate control panel only flashes when I have the headlight switch in the "off" position and I have the dimmer knob anywhere but full intensity. With the headlight switch anywhere else, the dimmer works and the climate control panel dims as normal with no flashes. I also noticed that there is a strange electrical buzzing noise coming from the engine compartment fuse box when the above conditions are set up for the flashing control panel.   Very strange.

Replying to: rugzy (May 04, 2008 4:48 pm) maybe it's a safety feature to remind you to turn your lights on

Replying to: rugzy (May 04, 2008 4:48 pm) It shouldn't be doing anything like what you are describing - it sounds like a short or fuse somewhere - the dealer should be easily able to reproduce and check the system. The intensity of the daytime light emission cannot be altered, unless the headlights are switched fully on - the dimmer only works on the headlights on/night time interior light intensity.
#77 of 98 How to 'pull the damper strap on the right side'? by bluesf Sep 21, 2008 (8:08 am)
The above is a quote from page Sec.6-16 of the 2008 Santa Fe's Owner Manual. With the picture, I still do not know how to 'slip the O-ring (at the end of the damper strap) over the clip' without possibly damaging the clip. Q1. Does it need a special tool? Q2. Where can I buy a 'replacement air cond filter (z-fold paper with plastic edge)'? Q3. How much $ for this replacement filter?

Replying to: bluesf (Sep 21, 2008 8:08 am) I didn't bother dropping the compartment all the way down by releasing the damper strap for that reason.   If you've undone the two "H" clips and the compartment dropped down some, there is just enough room to reach over the top of the door and behind it to the filter compartment.   Use a flashlight to see the clips on the front filter panel to remove it, then you can pull the filter out over the top of the door.   When it's out, you simply squeeze the paper filter in the middle and it releases itself from the retaining tabs. Squeeze the new one in the same way and release it so the retaining tabs hold it in place in the tray.   I got my replacement cabin filter from Pep Boys for around $20.
