Hyundai Repair: Possessed 2003 Eleantra GT 4 door hatch, radio clock, power mirror


Question
A couple of weeks ago I starting having some issues with the electrical. It started with a constant dinging (warning), the room lt fuse keeps blowing, interior lights no longer work, radio/clock no longer work, passenger side power mirror moves on it's own and the gauges work sometime. Any thoughts. I think that there is a short in the harness. Has Hyundai recalled this part or is this a known problem for the model.

Regards;

Todd

Answer
There is no recall, but there is a known problem with corrosion in the connectors between the body and the doors.  Hyundai has a very nice technical service bulletin (TSB) about the problem.  

I recommend you register for a free account at www.hmaservice.com (requires Internet Explorer) and read TSB 06-90-008.  The TSB details the inspection procedure, the parts information, and the a procedure for sealing the body so the problem won't reoccur.
