Hyundai Repair: 2002 Hyundai Sonata - Cruise Control, 2002 hyundai sonata, hyundai sonata

Question
Spectacular, I will investigate that one you mentioned below, its like the belly of an Aircraft down there. I was concerned at randomly pulling fuses until I found the fuse. But we'll see how we go, the worst case is that I have to reprogram the stations into the stereo (Which takes all of 1 minute).

Hi Guys,

My park light blub blew and shorted the fuse in the cabin marked (R/RH TAIL 10A) which took out my interior backlighting for the dash, front parker, rear brake lights and rear righthand numberplate lamp. Since then, the cruise control button (When pushing to start the cruise controller) does not light up, and the buttons on the steering wheel do not respond. I cannot find a fuse marked cruise control, and also cannot find which fuse it shares.

Any ideas?

Jeff

All the interior nighttime illuminations work of the tail lamp fuse that blew.  If you haven't replaced that fuse, you'll need to do so.

If the brake lamps are out in addition to the tail/park/tag/dash lamps, then you should check the brake lamp fuse as well.  Unfortunately, my schematic simply tells me it's fuse number 9.  If my memory serves, it's labeled "STOP."

If you mean that the cruise button indicator will not come on, you should check fuse #31.  I don't recall what that might be labeled, but it should be the rightmost fuse in the bottom row of the dash fuse box and should be 10A.  You should also check fuse number 18, which will likely be a 10A fuse labeled ETACM.  If it's blown, the cruise control may be canceled because it thinks the brake pedal is depressed.

The numbering of the fuses starts at the top left and counts across each row.  So the top row is 1 to 6, the second row is 7 to 12, and so on.

Answer
Simply checking all the fuses isn't a bad idea.  An easy way to do this is to take a test lamp and hook the clip to ground and then probe the metal terminals that are exposed in the fuses.  Any fuse which lights one side but not the other is blown.  If a fuse doesn't light at either end, it isn't powered up and may require something to be turned (e.g., ignition, tail lamps, a/c, etc.) on to power it up.
