I have a 2009 Sonata Limited that would occasionally have the esc off light come on and off but only when it was hot out but recently it came on as did the ABS warning light and the brake system light and in some situations the cruse control won't work. Then lights shut off and all the while the car operates fine. The dealership thinks it's a Hydraulic pump...
View 11 RepliesI recently purchased a 2011 Sonata GLS and I love it. However, I'm having a slight electrical issue.
While driving at night with the headlights on occasionally they'll dim and flicker and often cut off completely while driving or parked. The interior and dash lights will also switch off with the headlights, however the radio will still continue to play. The lights only stay off for a second and then come back on. Sometimes I can make them flicker and go off by turning on my blinker or switching between high and low beams.
I'm trying to figure out if it's a problem with the alternator, the battery, or the fuses and if this is a known issue.
I installed aftermarket fog lights and tapped into cigarette lighter fuse. fog lights occasionally stay on even after key is removed. Which fuse will guarantee that the lights will be off with the key removed?
View 8 RepliesTrying to clean the throttle body on my 09 sonata 2.4L due to rough idle occasionally (throwing P0106, replaced MAF sensor still same problem), one quick question, is it okay to force the valve open (with connector disconnected of course), and is "re-learning" necessary and what's the proper way to do it?
View 2 RepliesI have a 07 Sonata. Today, the ABS and ESC OFF lights came on. Everything was normal when I turned off the car and turned it on again (for a while) but then those lights came back on. Is it related to the STOP LAMP SWITCH issue? Would Hyundai honor the recall? [URl] .... If not, how to re-install a new switch?
View 6 RepliesBought an 06 Sonata not too long ago, when I test drove it I didn't think to check the fog lights, but they don't work. I checked the fuses and they're good. Is this a common problem? And is there something else I should check?
View 5 RepliesA few times over the last few weeks my abs and esc lights will come on simultaneously. After turning car off and then on, they go away. No problems seem to be happening. What that means?
View 1 RepliesSo I was following my wife today and noticed she had no brake lights. We just had the car in for servicing a couple months ago and at that time they noted all brake lights were fine. I wouldn't expect all of them to burn out at once, but I did replace one just to see (had an extra from last time since they come in twin packs) and that one isn't working either. So I was searching and I'm guessing it is the brake lamp switch.

Wondering if there's a way to fix the problem without replacing the entire instrument cluster.
I have 85110 miles on it. Only the "110" is showing, and part of the "8."
Received a battery jump in the dark from a friend who mistakenly had crossed the polarity. It blew the 150amp alternator fuse which is now replaced. Now, the ABS, ESC Off and brake lights stay on after starting. I have checked all fuses and the main relay, both under the hood and in side of dash, and cannot figure out what is causing this. The auto shift lever is locked out and I don't want to override it not knowing if it will cause any damage. Also, what protocol OBD system would this auto fall under?
View 9 RepliesSeems like every time I drive my car at night when it's raining, my dash lights flicker some and then turn off completely. The exterior lights stay on, just the dash lights turn off.
When this occurs, I typically hit the top of the cluster w/ my hand and the lights come back on. Then I adjust the illumination setting and it goes back to normal. (I used to have to do the same thing on my old 1991 Jetta). So obviously there is a short somewhere.
It's not a big problem, it just gets annoying having to hit my car for being bad.
I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata V6.
The Check Engine light came on days ago. I have tried to re-close the gas cap, it's not it. This morning, I am on my way to bring my daughter to school and maybe 500 feet out of my driveway onto the main road, my car loose it's acceleration power. I pulled over and noticed the ESC light was on. I turned off the engine. Turned it back on. Both lights still on. Rinse...repeat with turning it off and turning it on....this time it worked, ESC light was now off but the Check Engine light was still on. I proceeded back onto the road with no more acceleration problems.
I flush mounted my bass knob where the extra spaces are next to the esc button and light dimmer, in order to take that out i unplugged those two harnesses and now when i put it all back together my dash lights wont turn on (speedometer , temp, gas) along with where the a/c buttons are. What fuse would it be? I checked the one that said cluster but that wasn't it, what else could it be?
View 5 RepliesI have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata my ESC light keeps coming on and my lights dim. I already had two alternators put in.
View 14 RepliesOk, So my car wont come out of park unless you do the manual override. I recently put a new battery in the car and accidentally put it on backwards. I was lucky enough not to burn the ECU as the car starts and still drives but the ABS and ESC lights are on along with the BRAKE light.

View 3 RepliesToday after work I cranked up the car (06 sonata) and walked around the car as I always do to check that all lights are good. I found the passenger side brake light out (wasnt' out this morning) so I drove 1/4 mile to autozone and got a replacement. Cranked back up and all is good so I jump on the highway and about 3 miles later the ECS & ABS lights come on the dash. Do I not have brakes? so I lightly push the brakes and the car slows down but I don't see the red from the 3rd brake light. I jump off at the next exit to see what's going on. I pull into a shell station and put the car in park but in won't go in park, only neutral? So I put it in neutral and set the parking brake, get out too look at the rear lights. The lights were on but when I pressed the brakes they did not get brighter nor did the 3rd brake light come on. Got back on the highway, drove the car straight home avoiding braking while on the interstate. I had to stick my key inside that little release thing to get the car in park, so now it's stuck in park. The car will stay parked until I can get it towed to the dealer, which probably won't be until Monday/Tuesday because on the holidays.
View 28 RepliesI was trying to fix the tail lights on my trailer and I some how, now none of the lights on the left side of the car work. both rear and the one front light are out, left side only. the lights on the right work fine. how could I have knocked out the left side only??
View 4 RepliesI have an 06 sonata and have no brake lights and the constant ESC off light staying on. After reading countless threads on here I see that the brake light switch was recalled on these and this is extremely common problem with this year and model. I went to my local shop bought a brand new switch, installed it properly and still the lights won't come on. I changed the fuses as well. Emergency lights, and the tail lights when the headlights are on come on but no brake lights. My next guess is the bulbs? they look ok. But I had a dodge caravan where both bulbs went out before at the same time so is that a possibility with this?
