I have a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon. Came out in the AM and the car was dead. Tried jumping the battery. Then replaced the battery and while the door ajar light comes on and the key-in-ignition chimes with the door open - there is no power. I have no accessory lights, no clock, no nothing. It is completely dead. Ideas? THANK YOU!
Where would I find the main fuse? Checked all fuses under the hood. Thanks for your help!!Where would I find the main fuse? Checked all fuses under the hood. Thanks for your help!!
Did a little research and found there is no main fuse for that vehicle. it leaves me to believe your main battery cable may be bad. Look at the cable where it connects to the terminal. If it has corrosion around it that may be the problem. Get a volt meter and check the volts at the battery. Then check it at the starter. Should read the same as the battery. If it does find where the accessory cable is spliced off the main battery cable. Test at cable as close to the firewall as you can. If you find any drop in voltage in any of the cables you've most likely found your problem.Did a little research and found there is no main fuse for that vehicle. it leaves me to believe your main battery cable may be bad.

There is a 100A fusible link (Item A on the diagram) that protects all systems. If it blows, you'll still have battery voltage, but no power will be seen anywhere else. Change the fusible link, and you should be able to close the sunroof :-)
Your battery is likely dead and in need of replacement. Since you have no power at al, this is a sign that it is your battery. That would be the first thing to check. Have you tried to have someone give you a ump-start? If you can get it started with a jump, you should take it to an auto-part store and have them check the battery. This is the first thing, and the least expensive. The check should not cost you anything. Your battery cables could also be corroded. There are just too many things that it could be, but the battery is the best, first place to start. Good luck! JD
If your Hyundai, Tiburon refuses
to start, it may be something more serious than a flooded engine. When
the spark plugs look fine and the fuel injectors are running well, you
may need a new charging or starting system for your car. If the starting
system fails, then you need a new unit in order to get your Hyundai,
Tiburon back on the road. The starting system in your Hyundai, Tiburon
includes many parts such as the battery, ignition switch, starter motor
and solenoid. Once you have the source of the problem contained, you
have complete access to quality replacement parts here. Whether the
battery dies or the ignition switch fails, you can find the parts you
need for your Hyundai, Tiburon. Get your car back on the road when you
check out this selection of charging and starting systems for your car.
Sounds like your alternator is bad, if car will stay running long enough to get over to an auto parts place where they can do an alternator test for free have it check or you can remove alternator and take it to them so they can test it. or with a volt meter start car remove jumper cables and check voltage at battery, should have no less then 13.5 volts, what your checking is alternator output voltage.
There is NO possible electrical cause (within REASON) which would create the problem you describe. I assume you tried the Keyless Entry Remote to DIS-ARM the anti-theft system. If the ALARM system was activated, it will stay activated until it's de-activated by the remote (typical design feature). The best SOLUTION is to take vehicle into Hyundai an have the problem diagnosed.
Possibly the alarm cut-off switch? or Ignition key switch (or wires) going bad?
But you mentioned you tried to jump start it and it did turn over?
IF so, you could have severe corrosion or loose connections of the battery cable both at the battery and at the termination points, such as ground and starter motor.
Check that the battery wires are tight and clean at the battery posts and at the other end.
Again the No lights suggests either the alarm cut-off, or an absolute disconnected battery cable.
Finally, it could be ignition fuse, Check fuses. Ignition key switch.
What makes this hard is that you suggest it would turn over with another battery connected. This makes no sense.
it sounds like a intermittent sensor problem . nightmare have you tried to see if there is an expert on here might be able to recommend somthing sorry i dont know. joe
