Excellent video for those that arent vehicle technicians and have all the fancy tools to diagnose the problems cars have that are brought in. I wondered for the longest time how dealerships figured out and fixed problems so easily and am simply amazed but im not good with wiring diagrams they make no sense to me ill leave them to the professionals lol
Your videos are some of the best I have seen on you tube. A great tool and learning experience for any DIY person seeking guidance. Keep up the marvelous work and excellent teaching experiences. Much respect for you my brother.
Thank You!!!! Your ultra detailed test procedures and demo allowed me to diagnose and fix my problem myself which saved me a butt load of money. Thank You!
Thanks for video! thought I had to replace the starter, turns out the pigtail connector was broken. But now I have an oil leak. I think I over torqued the bolts on the housing and damaged the gasket. What would the torque specs be for the oil filter housing?
Nice video . Where can I find a starter relay for a Hyundai sonata 2012 GLS 2.4 liter . Similar car to this car you worked on. I don't have any trouble codes and sometimes it cranks and turns over after a few tries . I replaced my multipurpose relay now I just need to replace my starter relay but AutoZone or oriellys doesn't have any. Do I get it from the dealership? Or order online ?
Thx for an informative video of diagnoising Hyundai Sonata for no crank no start only 1 questiion since you were unable to test without your relay switch how woukd you know if the relay was high resistsnce only allowing enough voltage to your testmlight to operste but not energize the solenoid with enough current to make the contact for b terminal adequate current to flow to the starter windng.
Just one question, it's about the starter relay, does it have one circuit that is always energized and is another supposed to energize when you turn the key in the ignition? Is it the same in this car?
Man I have power to starter it spins just fine but I’m not getting any fire after my spin I normally have to attempt the crank few times to actually turn over. What should I target is it fuel problem??? I’ve diagnosed so much and replaced a bunch already..
I have a push to start one but absolutely nothing happens no lights on dash etc. i waited a day and it seemed fine and turned on, drove it for a bit around neighborhood to charge the battery but when I went to start again today same thing happened lights on dash flicked for a split second but then turned off. Doors only open manually and no electricals seem to turn on. Do you think its just deadish battery (i think original cause was a dome light left on) or something with the starter?

I recently bought a 2011 Hyundai Sonata & I have a question: on the temperature ( C/H ) it shows it one less before getting to the middle. Any idea what it can be that causes this?
@Makki So sorry to hear that I hope you find a resolution to get the car starting. This is my 1st car, I had to replace the air compressor & the radiator & it fixed the temperature issue Thankfully I'm hoping I don't get any more problems with it though!
I don’t know what to 🤔 mine is starting when it wants too. It’s like she likes men to start her up!! No lights dimming at all. Just seems like if I wait for a few hours then it will start up?? Planning to get a new starter but they cost a lot! 2011 Sonata GLS 2.4L any suggestions??
Lashon G. you should have it diagnosed, that symptom can be caused by a couple of things, defective starter relay, intermittently failing ignition switch, or starter
I have the same car same problem right now, jumped it w the wire cables & still won’t start, the oil was out so filled it up to 5QT & tried it again and still makes a crank sound but no start, any idea? & yes the lights comes on
Hi I did all those tests and starter is working. It has no signal (power) to the engine. So I think it might be the burglar alarm relay you talked about. Where is that located ?
I thank you for replying. I found the alarm thing but that’s not the problem. All it’s a fuse problem. The engine block doesn’t get power. And all the fuses are fine, we put direct power from the battery to the engine and it started. Do you know if there’s another fuse that can be between the fuse box and the engine?
I have a 2011 sonata that's doing the same thing. It will eventually start after turning it over many times, sometimes 3 times or could be more tries before it will start. Any info on what's going on?
Tom intermittent start can be caused by a couple of things, a defective ignition switch, a defective starter relay or a defective starter, you should have it diagnosed by a pro mechanic!!

Hello fellow Hyundai Sonata owners. I bought a 2011 LE, 4 cylinder, automatic, push button ignition. It only has 37,000 miles on it and the previous owner bought it new. She sold it to me because her two mechanics could not get it to function for her. It would sit for a few days and would not start. They replaced the battery and alternator. That didn't fix it. Right now it will not start or do anything at all, so it actually got worse. The battery is new and checked good (confirmed with part store check and deep charge). The main fuses I can see all look good. Nothing comes on. No exterior or indoor lights. No dash lights or gauges...nothing. Except, the push ignition button will lightly illuminate when I push it. Both key fobs will show a small red light when anything is pushed on them, but nothing happens. The trunk won't open, the alarm won't turn on, no door locks, nothing at all works. It does the same thing when attempting to jump start with 3 different vehicles. It did start occasionally for her with jumper cables and battery charge, but now it is entirely dead and nothing gives it power to crank or start, or any accessories or gauges. It's behaving like it has NO battery at all. I have not connected a code reader to it, yet. Questions: 1. Anyone have this occur? What fixed it? 2. Is there a way to test the key fobs to be sure at least one is working? 3. I know how to get the car in Neutral to push it around, but is there a way to get the steering wheel to turn? I hate push button crank cars! Thank you!
@thesetruths1404 check the battery module if it has one! it sounds like you have a connection issue somewhere, I recommend you take it to a pro mechanic who can diagnose it for you!
