Re: Dim Headlights on a 02 Santa Fe
Thank you Hyundaitech! Your right about the VIN...sorry about that.
Surprizes me about the Status. Maybe the warrantee was writen off for
mileage because Hyundai lacked other options ..I'm sure the mileage is ok as
the breaks and tires are original at 50K and I have some info from the
previous owner. It had 30K on it when I acquired it two years ago. I
bought this vehicle from an insurance yard for very little. These yards are
protected from things like speedos being changed between delivery and
auctions. It was rolled in the soft snow on one of our wintery days. I
pulled out the headliner and pushed the top back out (can't tell now except
from above. I replaced the windshield (the windshield frame was fine) It
didn't even hurt the rack. Some wrinkles in the doors, but everything fits
and opens and closes like new. The Santa Fe didn't even need an alignment.
All the fluids were great. The original battery lasted until this winter.
This great car has been virtually trouble free for two years and I don't
consider this headlight thing a big issue. I will take care of it this
weekend. (I'm a technician with a lot of automotive electronics experience).
I will put in a relay to take the low beams to ground locally (to the lamps)
I really want to max the current to the lamps and even .7 volts loss is more
than I want to deal with. 100 ma. through the coil of a relay rather than
the 5 to 6 amps of lamp current should make that original switched ground
path last the life of the car.
Really, this car owes me nothing and not having a warrantee is not an
issue...it would have been a bonus, but I don't really believe I deserve it.
My daughter loves this car and when we first got it for her, she wanted me
to get the doors fixed and get it painted. Now, she has decided she likes
it just the way it is. She can park it in downtown Seattle and not worry
about door dings. When she gets on the freeway, people give her plenty of
room. Inside it is luxurious, quiet, and is really reliable.
I am sold on these cars!
Thanks again Hyundai Tech!
