Power Locks Rear Latch No Work
'99 Accent
When I open the drivers door I can hear the rear latch trying to
unlock, but it doesn't work. Is this difficult to fix?
It's not a big deal but it's a bit of a pain having to turn the car off
to open it with the key.

I'm not very mechanically minded.
Maybe I'll wait til it's warmer out.

Re: Power Locks Rear Latch No Work
I had a 98 sonata with the same problem, turns out it was a bad door switch
(where the release switch is located on a sonata) it appears there's no
relay powering the rear solenoid. its a direct switch.
Prying out the switch and closing the two connector wires manually will tell
you quickly if its a bad switch.
if it is, you can possibly open the switch, and clean out the contacts. or
just get a new one at the dealer.
The sonatas carry a thick cable, since no relay is used. a loose conncetion
on the conact switch will have a volateg drop, and thus, semi latching sound
of the solenod.
I have also noticed bad contacts on the electric mirrors switches. I have
already replaced the drives side that controls all four.
