What can cause a battery in a Hyundai Tucson GLS-2006 to drain while parked and is this a battery issue?

Battery failure in Hyundai Tucson-2006 is usually due to one of the systems components that may have a drawback or surge drawing the life of the battery. Usually to troubleshoot, one would start by using a volt meter on the battery and removing fuses one at a time while the engine is completely turned off. With this, the faulty circuit may be identified which then can be grounded or bad component in the circuit can be removed. Loose connection in the circuit can be identified by pulling and testing each fuse and relay in the circuit. Faulty point may be identified when the voltmeter show more voltage in the battery. It is also often suggested to check the radio fuses to see if they could be causing the battery to drain.

What could cause windshield wipers to stop working on a Hyundai Tucson GLS?

Usually it is suggested to check if the wiper motors are working. If so, then the problem could be the wiper transmission (linkage) between the wiper motor and wipers themselves. It could be that part of the wiper has broken or there may be a loose connection. The only way to know which part is bad or what needs to be fixed or replaced is to take apart the front cowl and inspect the wiper linkage.

How would someone troubleshoot a engine misfiring and sputtering in a Hyundai Tucson GLS with the error codes of P0303 & P0420?

The codes P0303 indicates cylinder #3 misfire and the code P0420 points to a fault with the catalytic converter for Bank1 (the side of the engine that contains the #3 cylinder). The P0420 is more than likely a by-product of the cylinder misfire, as a misfire can harm the converter very quickly. Since the cylinder misfire is more important that the fault in the catalytic converter, it is best suggested is to work on the cylinder misfire, as P0420 will clear after the misfire is repaired.

There are a few things that can set a single-cylinder misfire. The first thing to check is to confirm the spark is coming from the coil to the plug for cylinder 3. If the strength of the spark is strong, then it is usually required to inspect the spark plug. If the spark plug is functioning fine with no cracks in the diode, the fuel injector should be checked. This can be done by taking an Ohms reading across the blades on the injector. If the resistance is not between 13.8 - 15.ohms, the injector could need to be replaced. If in case it is working fine, then next component that needs to be checked is the air intake leaks around cylinder 3, and then ultimately, cylinder compression. Most commonly will be the coil, plug or injector.
