joymayland -> '05 Elantra won't start, no noise, can't jump (5/5/2008 7:36:24 PM)
|
Okay, chronologically. Couldn't unlock doors with key remote and noticed lights didn't flash. Unlocked with key and the alarm didn't go off. When I tried to start the car, there was no noise whatever. No chugging from the starter, no electronic clicking sound, absolutely nothing. No interior lights, radio or display. Roommate tried to jump the car and as soon as he connected to his battery, my alarm started going off. He kept taking the cables on and off [:@] so I can't say for sure what made the alarm stop but I was trying to use the remote control to do it. Finally, he re-connected and the alarm wasn't going off but whenever I tried to turn it over... nothing. While we were connected, still no electricity to any accessories.
Could this be the battery, even though jump-starting didn't work? I had it replaced a couple months ago and the car has been starting without any issues... making me think it's not the battery, starter or alternator. Ignition Fuse in the engine compartment didn't look blown (not that I'd necessarily know what I was looking for and it wasn't the kind of fuse you can see through).
Argh, it just mysteriously gave up on life. Please, please help me make my Hyundai want to live again!! I terrified of being totally ripped off at the dealer.
