battery

I have a 2010 Elantra SE, with an OEM GPS/Radio/XM/CD/MP3/Bluetooth unit. Car is four and a half years old, with 40,500 miles and it has never given me a lick of trouble...until now. The other day, I ran some errands with the radio on. After finishing at my first stop, I turned my car back on...

Hello, A few months back my car wouldn't start, I charged up the battery, let it run for a bit and watched as it died about 10 minutes later - conclusion, bad alternator, so I replaced it. Two months with no issues, and then it happens again. I figure - defective alternator - I go and replace...

I just replaced a headlight bulb on the driver side and my car won't start. What happened was that I had to removed the battery temporarily because it was blocking the access to the headlight. After the bulb change, I reinstalled the battery and my car won't start. There is no electricity in...

Hello and thank you in advance for any help! I just recently replaced both my battery and my headlights in my Elantra 2006 GT, but now I have another issue. Unfortunately I lost and broke all of the small plastic screws and their accompanying plastic bases (maybe they are rivets? fasteners?)...

So my car has been sitting for the last 7 months except for a few instances when my wife drove it. Yesterday I drove about 28 miles total and everything seemed good. Today I drove to work (about 30 miles) with no problem. I was about 5 miles from home when it just felt like it had absolutely...

What it takes to go BIG! A guide by faris We've all seen the one or two sub-woofer setup in a box in the trunk. Everything from 8's, 10's, 12's and at least one guy on this forum has a 15, or at least did. But, what if that's not enough? This is a brief write up on the aspects to be...

My headlights were malfunctioning last night so I decided to check out under the hood today. Fuses- check. Bulbs- check. Then I noticed the battery. The negative terminal was extremely loose and slightly cracked. After messing with it for a bit, the piece simply broke off. I can't run my car now...

Hello all: I was surprised that a walmart and costco I visited did not have a battery in stock for my 06GLS. According to the catalog in costco, there is no kirkland battery for the 06 GLS. And the walmart I visited just seemed to have many items in low stock, or never stocked. Other...

Original battery thats been in the elantra has been slow cranking on a regular basis lately. Putting a trickle charger on it doesnt resolve the issues. I figure 6 years is pretty decent life since it was the one I left the dealership with. Nobody has the "special" fitment battery for my car...

First time poster here, and I am glad I found this site. I have a 2004 Elantra with about 68,000 miles on it. The car has never given us any problems until a few weeks ago. While driving down the road, the radio started cutting in and out, then the gauges, then the windows didn't work, etc...

Hey all, like you may have seen from previous posts, I have two 12" RSDc Phoenix Gold (500rms each) and a 1200 Watt Phoenix Mono channel amp powering them. I currently have no capacitor, stock alternator (2005 XD2 GT Sedan I think come with an 80 Amp Alternator, someone should correct me if...

Hi, I can't for the life of me seem to remove the battery. I want to put a trickle charger on it and get it ready for the already here Canadian winter. I removed the negative, then positive terminals, but the battery won't bulge, and I can seem to locate any hold down clamps. I don't think...

HI all I'm new to this... but today my battery died - it had lasted about 5 years. I have the code needed for the stereo, but made a mistake when I entered it. Do you only get one chance? I cannot seem to get the code request thing back. Help please - if anyone knows a simple...

Alright, before I go off ranting here, here are the cliff notes: Don't buy an optima yellow top if you plan on using your car in very cold weather! So... I've had this battery in my car for about 3 years now I believe. I remember my buddy telling me he had heard someone say these batteries...

I really need to get a new battery for my 2002 Elantra. I went to Autozone and bought a duralast and the guy there could not figure put for the life of him how to remove the positive posts (or whatever its called) from the battery to remove it and put the new one in. I decided to screw it and...
