2002 Hyundai Elantra Electrical system Problems

“Not long after purchasing the car from jones junction Hyundai bel air, I noticed that the headlight/windshield wiper stalk was having problems. Sometime the headlights and the dashboard lights would not work properly. At night, the lights for the dashboard would go out. The stalk had problems. Also, the windshield wipers, the fluids would not squirt properly to effectively clean my windshield as it should. These are 2 separate problems that I have noticed over the years.”

“I noticed some time in 2014 that my driver's side power windows began to falter after it had rained or precipitated in some form. The driver's side power window assembly would get wet when the door was open during normal operating use, such as entering or exiting the 2002 Hyundai Elantra gls. This should not have occurred. The manufacturer should have, in my opinion, produced vehicles which could tolerate a measure of precipitation in the interior of the car through normal use, such as entering and exiting the vehicle. …”

“My clock in the dashboard blinks and loses time. I took the car to the dealership and was told that the wiring harnesses in the doors of the car had corroded and caused shortages occasionally in the dashboard. I was told this could affect the clock, the dashboard lights, and possibly the headlights. We have also had problems with our headlights staying on after they were turned off and the key was removed from the ignition. The cost of this job would be $900. …”

“February 2009 I received a recall notice pertaining to my Hyundai Elantra 2002-the electrical wiring under the drivers seat having something to do with the airbag deployment. I took my car in and they did the recall work and no problem. Next morning, I go out to my car and turn the key and it is dead!!! Nothing !!! So I gave it the all or nothing jiggle of this that and the other thing-and alas! It started. I brushed it off as a fluke-this has now happened four times within a month and today it is still sitting where I parked it this morning. …”

“While driving in the rain the door light and door chime came on for no reason. Went into the ditch trying to find what was happening. Every time I washed the car or drove in the rain the same things happened . Had to disconnect the battery and wait a day or two until something dried. Heard that Hyundai had a manufacturing flaw in that they have not sealed the pillar and fender area ,thus water just ran to the electrical wiring. It shorted out the battery, which I had to replace ,and could not drive in the rain or wash the car.”
