Our 2001 elantra (auto. w/ 110K) decided last night before i had to go to work to not start. it was really foggy and today it's raining and still wont start, i think it's done this before and gets better when it stops being so wet, but i need it now...so when i turn the key it doesn't do anything but Ding and buzz at me, the battery is fine all the lights come on and radio and such. funny part is as i try and start it if i hold it for a second the speedo goes to about 30-40 mph and the rpm guage goes to about 1,000/rpm but just buzzes at me!

How old is the battery?

The battery will still power the lights, radio, etc., because they're low amps but turning a starter motor takes a lot of amps.

Could you try jump-starting it?

UPDATE: so a while after i posted that (about 7 pm actually) i went to look at it because it stopped raining..had the wife try and crank it while i looked around the engine and it started fine! so i let it run....came back about an hour later to see if it'd go going, and it strugled once then started fine...came back another hour later to leave to go to work and it wont start at all again, i tried maybe 5-6 times and now i did kill the battery completely, so i'll have to jump it tomorrow to try again.

Sounds like it just needs a new battery.
