Customer Question

my car dash lights come on just normal but the car simply won't go that final step and start. I had the starter replaced, took it to a dealer who told me they found a blown fuse. I drove it home tonight from the dealer and once home it would not start again. Now I have to start all over. I told the dealer it obviously was an electrical issue and he insisted he checked all wires. what else could be wrong? did they simply miss an electrical issue that is hard to pinpoint perhaps?

 

Optional Information:
Year: 2003
Make: Hyundai
Model: sonata
Engine: v6

Already Tried:
replaced starter, had dealer verify all electrical- they insisted it was simply a blown fuse. obviously it is a much deeper electrical problem. I need help to help guide them to the problem.

hi,

fuses dont just blow out. something shorted out and they missed it. i would take it back and get what you paid for. your car fixed right.

they need to further diagnose why the fuse blew to begine with.

until they figure out why the fuse is blowing, it will just keep happening.

hope this helps, let me know if i can further assist you.

thanks,
john c.
