My 2004 Hyundai Tiburon's tailgate release button is not working how do I fix it?

It is a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 and whenever I try to use the trunk release it does not work. I have looked at the fuse and it seems visibally fine.|||Despite what Smokeybacon/Edgar/HonestJohnny/JPSenior said, the next thing to check is the switch itself. If the fuse is fine, then its likely the switch/release button is not working. You can order a new part from your dealers parts department.|||there could be a pinched or messed up wire somewhere in the hatch circuit, or the popper could have failed also. see if you can get a wire diagram and start checking power and ground wires.





good luck

Would a Hyundai Tiburon change my insurance?

I currently drive a 6 cylinder, four-door sedan and was planning on selling it for a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon. I was wondering if the drastic change in car would increase the price I pay for insurance. I am still classed as a "newly licensed driver".|||I have a Tiburon and insurance companies do not consider it a sports car for insurance... so you will not find any drastic change in your insurance cost. I would guess it will still be the same or maybe just a little higher, but not by much.|||I used to drive a 3.0ltr toyota pickup and now im in a 2.0ltr tibby; it reduced my quote by 拢700 pounds! (i was a new driver like yourself) the 2 litre uses an un tuned version on the mitsubishi evos 2.0 ltr but as its classified as a hatchback and not a coupe (ironically) it hugely reduces you quote. you will actually find that switching will save you money!





the cars a gem, the engine is bullet proof and the boot space is insane as you can fold the rear seats flat. great car and very good value.|||Very easy just call whoever it is you have insurance with and they can tell you what the difference is regarding the price if any at all. Mostly your premiums are reflected by your age and driving record, the car may not make that big of a difference.|||You can compare how the insurance quotes would change, for example here - autoinsurance.bebto.com

What type of metal is a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 Flywheel made out of?

What type of metal is a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 Flywheel made out of? Cast Iron? Billeted Steel?





My uncle a mechanic also says that the flywheel usually never needs to be replaced when replacing a clutch if it is made out of cast iron because it is so hard to thin down.|||Cast Iron.|||Most flywheels are made of cast iron or steel. I'd ask a dealer repair shop which one the Tiburon uses.

How to save radio stations in a Hyundai Santa Fe?

I have a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and I don't know how to save my favorite radio stations. I think the manual said to hold down the "band" button but I don't see that button. Does anyone know?











Thank you!|||Tune in the station you want to save and press the any of the channel select buttons, hold it for a few seconds and it will lock on. That button should always tune to that station after that until you do the save procedure again.|||go to channel and go in option list to favourite .It's simple dude.

What oil do you recommend for a Hyundai Sonata ?

Just got an '07 Sonata today, and want to take as good care of it as possible to make it last the longest. As for future oil changes, what brand of oil should I go with? Hyundai does recommend Quaker State, but I heard that Pennzoil is also very good.|||If your are still under your factory warranty, you must change your oil every 3000 miles, or you will void your warranty. With Hyundai's extended powertrain warranty, give them no excuse to not honor any issues that may arise with your engine. As far as what oil to use, Quaker State would be fine. Your oil changes can be done anywhere, as long as you keep a receipt for your service records. Enjoy your Sonata!





Ricart Auto|||penzoil is good but i would go with moible clean 5000, i swear this stuff is great you can go 5000 miles between changes and its still preety cheap i paid 1195 for 5 quarts. when i changed the oil after 5000 miles it still was pretty clean as well not like alot of oils that if you go 5k on it will be blacker than the crude that it comes from. also use a quality filter as well like a bosch or k%26amp;n oil filter. bosch filter is like 5 buck and the k%26amp;n oil filter is like 12 bucks. |||the best luck i've had with conventional oils is Castrol GTX. i get the best gas mileage out of it.


after that the mobile 5000 has been the best i've used.





if you are brilliant, and go to synthetic oils (longer life, better fuel economy), i've had the best luck with Castrol Syntec, followed by Quaker State Q power and Pennsoil platinum. i've had weird results from Amsoil and Royal Purple (they give great result at first that quickly drops off), little change with Mobile 1 (very little improvement in fuel economy) and negative results with Valvoline (fuel economy actually dropped vs conventional oil)

How to save radio stations in a Hyundai Santa Fe?

I have a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and I don't know how to save my favorite radio stations? Does anyone know?





Thanks you?|||Without sounding nasty, have you considered reading the cars owners manual?


That's what it's there for.


If you don't have it then usually when you tune into a radio station and press and hold a preset button until it beeps or the sound returns will preset a station.

How much money would it cost me to drive 500 miles in a Hyundai Sonata 2011?

I'm supposed to go somewhere thats about 500 miles away. I will be driving a hyundai sonata 2011 and most of the driving will be on the highway which is like 65 mph.|||Approx $80|||Work it out yourself. Look at the car's fuel consumption rates so find the average mpg which you think this car will do on the trip. Then with that number you can divide 500 by that average number of mpg you will get out the thing and then you can work out how many litres you need. Then multiply that many litres by the average price of petrol. I think this is right anyway.|||Assuming there will be Toll to pay:





$1-$25 toll depending on highways and bridges you might take.





As for gas, you will only need to fill up the tank once. Depending on the gas prices in your area and how much gas you already have in your car when you start your trip, it can be anywhere from $40 to $90.|||Considering the Sonata gets 35mpg on the highway, you can expect to use at least 14.3 gallons of fuel.





I don't know what fuel prices are where you're at, but here it's about $3.30 per gallon, which means you'd pay at least $47 in fuel.|||1 tank of gas will get you there with some to spare. On a recent long trip, over 4000 miles, I averaged 37 mpg running mostly about 80 mph on interstates with a 2011 Sonata carrying a lot of weight.
