Strange Starting Problem on '04 Santa Fe
I have a 2.7 6 cy. Santa Fe and it has always ran great - until last week. I drove about 45 miles and stopped, turned off the car. When I got back in, the car wouldn't crank. All the lights on the dash come on, the radio, headlights, and windows work fine - just not cranking. No clicking noise or any noise at all. AAA came and tried to jump it - no deal - had to be towed back home. Mechanic came the next day - and yep - you guessed it -it cranked right up. Car ran fine for a week of normal daily driving. Then ran to grocery store and it did the same thing again. AAA had to tow me again. Went to Auto Zone for a diagnosis - said battery was bad. Since battery was still under warranty - went to Advance Auto and got a new battery (even though their test said the battery was fine). Drove home and now it is doing the same thing again!! Is it the starter, alternator, security system problem?? Any help would be appreciated!!
