Did I get it right? 1. Disconnect the negative battery cables 2. Disconnect the positive battery cable 3. Disconnect and replace the 125 amp fuse 4. Reconnect positive battery cable 5. Reconnect negative battery cable If I’m incorrect, please provide step by step And thank you for that video. It was a very good diagnostic:)
@@bmatthewlouison7439 that is correct. Always unhook negative before positive and hook up positive prior to negative. Also make sure the positive terminal is bolted down and secured tightly prior hooking up negative. You don't want an arc from the positive terminal when trying to complete the circuit. Lots of people will tell you it doesn't matter but with modern electrical systems, it's very important.
Hi, great video and I thought it would solve my problems, I have parasitic draw somewhere, and yesterday when it put the battery back in to go somewhere, I could not adjust the steering wheel, later I noticed that the front wipers would not work (tested fuse, it was ok) but the sprayer did, and the rear wiper and sprayer were fine. Then the tailgate would not open and there were no lights working on a trailer. I have removed the 200 and 125 amp fuses however they both pass the continuity test so am hoping that you or a viewer may be able to advise what to check next? (Just to add, I am careful to never have the negative attached to the battery on its own -remove first, replace 2nd)
Hi. Thank you for watching. These Hyundai electrical systems are a nightmare. Regarding the parasitic draw, I would start with the radio head unit. Ours was acting up and I replaced it with a pioneer unit so we could add a backup camera and get rid of the factory issues. Obviously it could be related to any system that isn't fully going to sleep when the vehicle is off, but the stereo may be a good place to start. You could always unplug the head unit and see if anything changes. The entire car runs off two main ECMs that are hooked to those two main fuses. The fortunate thing is you can isolate the problem from one ecm to the rest of the vehicle (the one on the 125 amp circuit). The problem with hyundai is that you need to have all doors AND the hood closed to turn all systems off. Bad design and not ideal for tracking down your problem. If you get in the car, close the hood and all doors, and shut the vehicle off, you may notice a light on or something to indicate the problem. For example... the rear door latch may be malfunctioning and causing issues. I'd also check the glove box light, the lamps on the sun visors, the dome lighting, and the 12v circuit that runs to the 2nd and 3rd row seating. I have compassion for your situation because I have ripped our veracruz apart from front to back when dealing with electrical issues. I had to pull the rear gate apart to deal with a short in the 3rd brake light. I also have to replace brake lights constantly for an unknown reason. They are well sealed but have a short lifespan, probably due to an over amp condition that I will never know. We are tempted to sell ours and buy something else. Good luck tracking down your problem. Please feel free to ask any questions.
@@Ryan-sl2oe wow, thanks for this, will follow up tomorrow. I cleaned and tightened the 200 and 125 battery fuses and that really has solved all the new problems- I just got back from a test drive and to give the alternater a chance to recharge the battery. I agree that the parasitic draw maybe related to the head unit. We also got Hyundai to install a Kenwood when we bought so we could also get a rear camera. That unit failed and I had been trying to install an internet android replacement but could not get the steering wheel controls to work as could not figure out what changes and modifications had been made to get the Kenwood to work
@@Ryan-sl2oe Just checked those fuses and they seem fine. Lights on dash still don't turn on. When I use the turn signal it turns un hazard lights. It only lights up the dashboard when I hit the brakes (not always).
@Marcelo Carvalho sounds like an electrical short. That's tricky to track down. Most likely a short on the brake. Sorry I can't be of more help but without looking at it, I can't begin to diagnose it.
@@Ryan-sl2oe Thanks again for your help. I’ll check the other fuse boxes and look for blown fuses. I hope it’s an easy fix. Service here in Canada is extremely expensive. I wish I was a technician 😂
Ryan I'm so relieved to hv came across the video bout the VeraCruz. Somewhat of the same situation with my 2012. But I'm looking at the battery...cause before buying they had to replace battery aswell. I see one of the fuses on the battery but the other fuse on battery is not even on there I'll take a pic n show .maybe get ur thoughts on it i
I have a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz that needed a new radiator when I replaced it the fans won’t work now. I tested the fans they work fine, I changed all relays and fuses but they still won’t come on do you know else I should check for??? 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ I’m at my wicks end
Hmmmm. That's weird. Maybe the coolant temperature sensor? If the sensor is bad, it may not kick on the relay. If it's not the sensor, I'd suspect the ECU. I'm very unimpressed with the electrical systems in Korean cars. If it's not the temp sensor, message me again, and I'll pull up a wiring diagram to see if I can drum up another solution.
Ryan, hoping you might be able to help. I had an oil change last week. Next day, discovered my front windshield wipers aren't working, but the rear one is. Then, found out my radiator fans aren't working. And last, my gas fuel door will not open. Checked the fuse for my front washer and it is good. Replaced a 40A fuse in the engine compartment for I/P Box +3 along with a Radiator fan relay 40A fuse, and a relay that also had the radiator fan marked. Nothing. Any other ideas? All 3 of these were in the same engine fuse/relay box on the passenger side of the engine. Thanks for any help.
You're sure the 125 amp fuse on the battery is good? If so, you could have numerous issues. It seems like they're all related because they all happened at once, but it could be a coincidence. Regarding the gas door, I'd try actuating the switch and banging on the gas door gently or gently prying to see if the clip is bent on the door. I've heard this is a common issue and it could eliminate one problem. It's a long shot but it may work. The motors on the Windshield wipers are notorious for going bad. I'd put a multimeter on the wires of one motor and see if you're getting power to it. If you arent getting power, you either have a short up-stream of the motor, the switch on the column is bad, or it could be the ECM. These electronics are fragile and im pretty bummed about Hyundai's electrical quality. I wish I had a diagram in front of me and I'd probably make a few more recommendations. I'll look when I get home and see if I can think of anything else. On a side note.... look at your Alternator and see if it's oil soaked. There's a hyundai recall on a valve cover gasket that leaks oil onto the Alternator. Go get it fixed if you haven't already. It's free and that can cause major issues.
@@Ryan-sl2oe I will check the 125 amp on the battery. Didn't know about the alternator problem. Will be calling them tomorrow. Just weird it all went out in one day.
@@Ryan-sl2oe I had replaced the 125 amp fuse, and no luck. Had several other things I tried, that were suggested to me by different people. Mechanic #3 found the issue. An $18 part that could only be bought from Hyundai. So $120 total bill, after spending $$$ on 2 other mechanics. If I didn't want them to hold my car over the long weekend, I could have done a $1000 wiring harness. I opted for no car for 5 days and a much cheaper repair. When I pick it up tomorrow or Wednesday, I will let you know what part it was they had to replace.
@@stephengreenfeld6006 please let me know! I'm seriously considering getting rid of our hyundai at the first opportunity we get. Too many weird electrical issues.
I have a 2007 Veracruz and after my battery died and got replaced, my trunk has been automatically opening me closing on its own. I don’t have the money to take it to the dealership so I’ve just been dealing with it. But it also makes my battery die so I have to pull out this fuse from under the steering wheel to cut the power off in the car while I’m not driving it. Maybe this fuse is my problem as well.
I doubt the main fuse is your problem. If I had to guess, its a problem with your key fob. Check to make sure the gate button isn't damaged or getting accidentally pressed. You might also try replacing the fob battery. If that doesn't work, it's most likely the switch inside the car. You might be able to buy the switch pretty cheaply and install it. You'll need to pry out the panel and then plug a new switch into it. It should be plug and play. Try the fob first. If you have two key fobs, try pulling the battery out of the one you use and then use the other fob for awhile. See if the problem stops. If it doesn't work, try to source a switch from a junkyard.
I bought a 2008 veracruz and my telescoping steering wheel jurks it doesn't go up down or out do you have any clue what could it be hello from santa ana California
So.... there's an electric motor in the column that runs the telescoping function. I'd guess it's worn out. I believe there was a recall for this issue with certain veracruz and Santa fe models. I'd look it up and see if you can get it fixed on a recall. If you can't, you can shop around for replacement parts. I know you can purchase a replacement switch, but im not sure about the motor assembly. It may be tied in with the airbag system and may need to be fixed at a shop. Good luck!
When I bought my used 2010 Veracruz from a dealer several years ago the same thing happened when I took delivery of the car. The salesman took it out back where I think they sprayed some electrical cleaner in the tilt and telescope switch. That was seven years ago and it has worked ever since. I think the contacts must have gotten dirty. I don't think it's the electrical motors in the steering column because I have never heard of them failing.
@@Ryan-sl2oe yes and it still beeps and the lights flash when you push the button to open it. I've checked all fuses and tried to reset according to the owners manual
@@laurasharp3036 sounds like a bad latch. There may be info on latch replacement online. Sorry for your luck. These Hyundai components are junk. We've had nothing but electrical issues.
My CD player is reading disc checking. Will not eject or load CDs, rest of radio system is working correctly. 2008 Veracruz, had to have car jumped and battery replaced then CD player went wacky. Any ideas on how I can at least get CDs out?
Try pulling the radio fuse and leave it out for a few minutes. Put the fuse back in and then try again. You could also try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, reconnect and try it again. If that doesnt work, I'm not sure what it could be.
I have an 08 Hyundai Veracruz GLS, the rear hatch just doesn't open anymore. I've even tried opening it from the inside using the manual release to no avail. I would put trying to solve this on the back burner but this is preventing me from replacing a burned out tail lamp that's already gotten me pulled over twice now.
Hey dude, I am going to buy a 2009 3.8 Hyundai Veracruz it has (100 000 miles), actually I had noticed that the light above the left side of the rear view mirror and the foggers are not working, Will this be a sympthon of a big trouble?, or it is just a minor problem? Would you recommend to buy this car or not?
I wouldnt be concerned about those lights. The interior light is probably a bulb and the fog lights acould be bulbs or a fuse. Based on my experience, ours has been a pretty good car. It runs and handles nicely. Always use full synthetic oil and a quality oil filter. Keep the oil changed every 5,000 miles. I also recommend having a mechanic look at anything before you buy. Good luck!
I have the 2010 Veracruz and it has 165000 and my wife and I really enjoyed it. I just bought new back door speaker. It a real go SUV and for a V6 it gets good MPG.
Just happened to me, but my 200 amp fuse was blown. Car won't crank. Could the 200 amp power the alternator being the reason for no start? Battery good.
I have the same truck but it’s a 2007 I have a new alternator, started, coils/spark plugs, fuel pump. my fuel pump is not coming on at all when I twist the key to the on position? I use wire and a battery to test the wire running from the fuel pump and that’s the only time it came on. I replaced all fuses dealing with the fuel pump except the 125 amp and 200 amp could that be my problem???
Hello, my rear hatch door has stopped opening! On pushing the open button, no beeps or lights or any latch sound. Could it be the fuse? Is there a separate fuse for the rear hatch door? All other electricals in the Veracruz 2011 are working normally. Thanks in advance.🙂
If you have a multimeter, you can see if there is continuity through the fuse. If you dont have a meter, Unhook your negative battery cable and unscrew the green nuts on either side of the fuse. You can visually inspect the fuse to see if it has a break in it. It may be hard to see, so you might shine a light into it to inspect it.
Ok thank you. Yeah I bought one recently last month and it’s been having a few issues with the electronics. I think I blew another fuse by trying to use the power outlet in the trunk… 😂
Your battery is an Autocraft battery which is sold by advance auto parts… Why am I not surprised by your problem? That battery has a three-year warranty provided you save your receipt… I would advise my customers to either take a picture of it or make a photocopy of it because in three years your thermal paper printed receipt will fade and be unreadable. If you ever have to do a warranty return on that battery advance auto parts will need to scan the barcode on your receipt.
You don't want to connect ground first, especially on newer cars with lots of computers. You connect positive first because if you connect negative first, you are completing the circuit and causing arcing as you connect the positive wire. Connecting negative first is why the fuse blew and had it not had a main fuse, it would have fried any computer on the 125 amp circuit. If you connect positive first, the negative wire will not spark and cause electrical shorts as you connect it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Ola! Sou do Brasil e tenho uma vera cruz 2009, deixei o carro parado uma semana quando fui dar partida ele não pegou, só faz um barulho quando viro a chave tec,tec, não é bateria pois ja veriquei você pode me ajudar? Sera que esse fuzivel tem alguma coisa haver? Desde ja obrigado.
pode ser o fusível maior no topo da bateria, não o menor. id retire os terminais da bateria e verifique se eles estão limpos e têm uma boa conexão. se tudo isso for bom, eu giraria a chave para a posição de acessório e ouviria a bomba de combustível sendo ligada. você pode verificar os fusíveis menores sob o painel e sob o capô. meu palpite é que há um problema com a conexão da bateria, a bomba de combustível ou o motor de partida.
That's strange. I'd assume it's the hood latch sensor or a door lock sensor. Make sure all of the pressure switches on the doors are actuating. If not, I would suspect the CPU. Let me know if you figure it out. Good luck.
Well..... im guessing you aren't a mechanic, so i will explain this to you in as simple terms as I can. Your negative (black cable) is grounded to your chasis (google chasis if you dont know what that means). If you disconnect the positive cable first and create an arc, you risk damaging FUSES and other electrical components, including your ECU (Google "ECU" here). Connecting them in the wrong order is even more dangerous because you have your grounded cable and arcing positive (the red wire) is extremely easy do do. Simply tapping the wire to the terminal (google terminal here) can cause enough of an arc to damage several computerized (google computer here) components in your car. If you dont believe me (I am a mechanic) try youtubing the question or go back to google for more insight. I'd love a follow up comment after the helpful research tips I gave you! If you still don't believe me, go to your car, disconnect positive (once again, the red cable) and repeatedly tap it on your positive battery terminal. Then pray you only burned out fuses and not anything important. Have fun with your research and experiments!!!
I AM mechanically inclined and have worked on cars for over 25 years and have owned a car dealership for over 20 years and sold almost 8000 cars in that time of nearly every make and model imaginable and have changed out thousands of batteries in that time and even own a 2007 Hyundai Veracruz that i drive daily and have change out the battery in it multiple times and in all my time I have changed out batteries in every make and model imaginable in every which way imaginable and have NEVER BLOWN A FUSE OR DAMAGED AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT regardless of how I hook up the cables!! This is the difference between being a book mechanic which it seams u are versus a real world experienced hands on mechanic. Maybe u should get some real world experience instead of claiming to be a mechanic referencing Google as your source of why u think u are correct.
@@matthewtitterington7926 Yep and im proud of it! I dont need to spend 10s of thousnds of dollars to get worthless degrees that only tell u how to hook things up to computer scanner cuz its the endall answer to solving anything. Then being charged out outrgous prices by these same mechanics cuz they overpaid for there worthless education when most of the time it costs next to nothing to fix. Hence the reason for these videos and the millions of people who view them who are fed up with being taken advantage of by these mechanics and also why these same mechanics are doing repair videos on youtube since more and more people are repairing there own vehicles so the mechanics arent making money fixing them. They are making more money from youtube showing people how to do the repair then they ever would being a mechanic!! So i have no problems saying i am a youtube university graduate along with the real world exprience of having bought and sold over 8000 cars and having worked on thousands of cars personally as a car dealer for the last 20 years. Giving me a hell of a lot of clout when I make a comment.
How was the guy the auto place who connected the battery a dumb ass? Even you admit yourself that it’s a very obscure error that was made. I’ve never heard of such a thing, not that I’m a mechanic of any sorts. Still, who’d have known this?
You'd think a guy who replaces batteries all day would know the sensitivity of cars with modern computers and the proper way to install a battery without causing damage. It's his JOB. I guess I assume when people can't do what they're paid to do well, they're a dumb ass. He could just be apathetic and if that's the case, then his boss is a dumb ass for employing him. I machine airplane parts to millionths of an inch that people's lives depend on. Perhaps my standard is higher than most but you should remember that incompetent people make parts and do service on machines that your life and other people's lives depend on every day. That car was shipped to us but imagine if that was a mother with kids in that car who got left stranded on a busy highway or with a massive bill at a dealership to get her car to work. That's why he's a dumb ass. If this explanation wasn't good enough for you, I hear that auto zone is hiring battery installers.
@Daniel-p4y weird design. I'm guessing it's to prevent damage to the ECM. I think their electronics are poorly built, and this is how they mitigate the risk of damaging the computers. It's not a terrible idea. This issue was just the tip of the iceberg. I had to wire resistors into the tail lights so I could run LED's. The factory lights were over amped and would blow bulbs every few weeks.

Try pulling the radio fuse and leave it out for a few minutes. Put the fuse back in and then try again. You could also try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, reconnect and try it again. If that doesnt work, I'm not sure what it could be.
I have an 08 Hyundai Veracruz GLS, the rear hatch just doesn't open anymore. I've even tried opening it from the inside using the manual release to no avail. I would put trying to solve this on the back burner but this is preventing me from replacing a burned out tail lamp that's already gotten me pulled over twice now.
Hmmmm. That's weird that the inside latch won't work. Is the hatch electric?
@@Ryan-sl2oe It is
@@GUNMOFO5 can you hear the electric motor trying to actuate when you push the button? Can you hear any clicking noises?
Hey dude, I am going to buy a 2009 3.8 Hyundai Veracruz it has (100 000 miles), actually I had noticed that the light above the left side of the rear view mirror and the foggers are not working, Will this be a sympthon of a big trouble?, or it is just a minor problem? Would you recommend to buy this car or not?
I wouldnt be concerned about those lights. The interior light is probably a bulb and the fog lights acould be bulbs or a fuse. Based on my experience, ours has been a pretty good car. It runs and handles nicely. Always use full synthetic oil and a quality oil filter. Keep the oil changed every 5,000 miles. I also recommend having a mechanic look at anything before you buy. Good luck!
I have the 2010 Veracruz and it has 165000 and my wife and I really enjoyed it. I just bought new back door speaker. It a real go SUV and for a V6 it gets good MPG.
Just happened to me, but my 200 amp fuse was blown. Car won't crank. Could the 200 amp power the alternator being the reason for no start? Battery good.
Yes. That circuit is for main power. The car will not start without that 200 amp fuse.
Life saver, thank you
@@swaggdriver4584 you're welcome! I'm glad I saved someone else some trouble. Good luck!! :)
I have the same truck but it’s a 2007 I have a new alternator, started, coils/spark plugs, fuel pump. my fuel pump is not coming on at all when I twist the key to the on position? I use wire and a battery to test the wire running from the fuel pump and that’s the only time it came on. I replaced all fuses dealing with the fuel pump except the 125 amp and 200 amp could that be my problem???
I doubt it's a main fuse or you'd have lots if other electrical problems. Have you checked the starter relay?
Hey buddy, do you know the part number for the positive terminal? I can’t find anything on the Internet so a part number would help
Look for "AMG fuse".
My unit is fitting loose on the terminal so if you could, I have the part number for the entire unit
@@terrellscaife2411 no clue. I have never replaced anything but the fuse.
Hello, my rear hatch door has stopped opening! On pushing the open button, no beeps or lights or any latch sound. Could it be the fuse? Is there a separate fuse for the rear hatch door? All other electricals in the Veracruz 2011 are working normally. Thanks in advance.🙂
Yes... it's most likely a fuse. I'd replace that first .
@@Ryan-sl2oe Thank you Ryan! Much appreciated..🙂🙂
@@Ryan-sl2oe Thanks Ryan! If you know, is there a separate fuse for the hatch door?
Did you ever find the correct fuse for it?
Sorry for the delay. Go to Amazon and look up "Hyundai Veracruz Terminal Fuse". You may have to scroll down a bit.
How can you check the fuse yourself. I’m having the problem with my windows except driver, stereo, and sunroof
If you have a multimeter, you can see if there is continuity through the fuse. If you dont have a meter, Unhook your negative battery cable and unscrew the green nuts on either side of the fuse. You can visually inspect the fuse to see if it has a break in it. It may be hard to see, so you might shine a light into it to inspect it.
Where did you end up getting the fuse from? I’m trying to find one now.
I can't recall where I ordered it from but I saw an assortment if them at O'Reilly Auto Parts the other day.
Ok thank you. Yeah I bought one recently last month and it’s been having a few issues with the electronics. I think I blew another fuse by trying to use the power outlet in the trunk… 😂
@@kimberleyhuerta these vehicles are an electrical nightmare. I hate our veracruz and plan to replace it when the used car market drops.
Your battery is an Autocraft battery which is sold by advance auto parts… Why am I not surprised by your problem? That battery has a three-year warranty provided you save your receipt… I would advise my customers to either take a picture of it or make a photocopy of it because in three years your thermal paper printed receipt will fade and be unreadable. If you ever have to do a warranty return on that battery advance auto parts will need to scan the barcode on your receipt.
Wouldn't you want to ground it by hooking up the negative first? I thought that was typical for any piece of equipment.
You don't want to connect ground first, especially on newer cars with lots of computers. You connect positive first because if you connect negative first, you are completing the circuit and causing arcing as you connect the positive wire. Connecting negative first is why the fuse blew and had it not had a main fuse, it would have fried any computer on the 125 amp circuit. If you connect positive first, the negative wire will not spark and cause electrical shorts as you connect it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@Ryan-sl2oe Thanks for that explanation, it was really helpful. I know now how to properly connect a battery without causing unnecessary damage.
Anybody know the part number or name of that fuse, as well as the 200A fuse?
120 A
Ola! Sou do Brasil e tenho uma vera cruz 2009, deixei o carro parado uma semana quando fui dar partida ele não pegou, só faz um barulho quando viro a chave tec,tec, não é bateria pois ja veriquei você pode me ajudar? Sera que esse fuzivel tem alguma coisa haver?
Desde ja obrigado.
pode ser o fusível maior no topo da bateria, não o menor. id retire os terminais da bateria e verifique se eles estão limpos e têm uma boa conexão. se tudo isso for bom, eu giraria a chave para a posição de acessório e ouviria a bomba de combustível sendo ligada. você pode verificar os fusíveis menores sob o painel e sob o capô. meu palpite é que há um problema com a conexão da bateria, a bomba de combustível ou o motor de partida.
Como resolveu o seu problema ?
I have an 08 veracruz and we changed the battery , now the car alarm goes off randomly at all hours.
That's strange. I'd assume it's the hood latch sensor or a door lock sensor. Make sure all of the pressure switches on the doors are actuating. If not, I would suspect the CPU. Let me know if you figure it out. Good luck.
Changing out the battery and hooking up the positive cable second would not cause your fuse to go bad as he describes.
Well..... im guessing you aren't a mechanic, so i will explain this to you in as simple terms as I can. Your negative (black cable) is grounded to your chasis (google chasis if you dont know what that means). If you disconnect the positive cable first and create an arc, you risk damaging FUSES and other electrical components, including your ECU (Google "ECU" here). Connecting them in the wrong order is even more dangerous because you have your grounded cable and arcing positive (the red wire) is extremely easy do do. Simply tapping the wire to the terminal (google terminal here) can cause enough of an arc to damage several computerized (google computer here) components in your car. If you dont believe me (I am a mechanic) try youtubing the question or go back to google for more insight. I'd love a follow up comment after the helpful research tips I gave you! If you still don't believe me, go to your car, disconnect positive (once again, the red cable) and repeatedly tap it on your positive battery terminal. Then pray you only burned out fuses and not anything important. Have fun with your research and experiments!!!
No but you do have to reset your computer
I AM mechanically inclined and have worked on cars for over 25 years and have owned a car dealership for over 20 years and sold almost 8000 cars in that time of nearly every make and model imaginable and have changed out thousands of batteries in that time and even own a 2007 Hyundai Veracruz that i drive daily and have change out the battery in it multiple times and in all my time I have changed out batteries in every make and model imaginable in every which way imaginable and have NEVER BLOWN A FUSE OR DAMAGED AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT regardless of how I hook up the cables!! This is the difference between being a book mechanic which it seams u are versus a real world experienced hands on mechanic. Maybe u should get some real world experience instead of claiming to be a mechanic referencing Google as your source of why u think u are correct.
@@matthewtitterington7926 Yep and im proud of it! I dont need to spend 10s of thousnds of dollars to get worthless degrees that only tell u how to hook things up to computer scanner cuz its the endall answer to solving anything. Then being charged out outrgous prices by these same mechanics cuz they overpaid for there worthless education when most of the time it costs next to nothing to fix. Hence the reason for these videos and the millions of people who view them who are fed up with being taken advantage of by these mechanics and also why these same mechanics are doing repair videos on youtube since more and more people are repairing there own vehicles so the mechanics arent making money fixing them. They are making more money from youtube showing people how to do the repair then they ever would being a mechanic!! So i have no problems saying i am a youtube university graduate along with the real world exprience of having bought and sold over 8000 cars and having worked on thousands of cars personally as a car dealer for the last 20 years. Giving me a hell of a lot of clout when I make a comment.
How was the guy the auto place who connected the battery a dumb ass? Even you admit yourself that it’s a very obscure error that was made. I’ve never heard of such a thing, not that I’m a mechanic of any sorts. Still, who’d have known this?
You'd think a guy who replaces batteries all day would know the sensitivity of cars with modern computers and the proper way to install a battery without causing damage. It's his JOB. I guess I assume when people can't do what they're paid to do well, they're a dumb ass. He could just be apathetic and if that's the case, then his boss is a dumb ass for employing him. I machine airplane parts to millionths of an inch that people's lives depend on. Perhaps my standard is higher than most but you should remember that incompetent people make parts and do service on machines that your life and other people's lives depend on every day. That car was shipped to us but imagine if that was a mother with kids in that car who got left stranded on a busy highway or with a massive bill at a dealership to get her car to work. That's why he's a dumb ass. If this explanation wasn't good enough for you, I hear that auto zone is hiring battery installers.
Wow, maybe I won't buy a Hyundai at all then
@Daniel-p4y I'd recommend avoiding Korean cars. This one has been a pain. Lots of electrical issues.
@@Ryan-sl2oe Thanks. And why is there a fuse up by the battery? Craziness
@Daniel-p4y weird design. I'm guessing it's to prevent damage to the ECM. I think their electronics are poorly built, and this is how they mitigate the risk of damaging the computers. It's not a terrible idea. This issue was just the tip of the iceberg. I had to wire resistors into the tail lights so I could run LED's. The factory lights were over amped and would blow bulbs every few weeks.
