remote starter for santa fe

"The factory hoodpin wire is available inside the car.....I think it's pink, on the left side of the fusebox.....you have to unbolt the fusebox and shove it aside a little to gain access, and even then it's a little awkward." Looks like you got it covered pretty well Chris, but here's a quick tip. The hoodpin wire changes from pink to green. Look to the left of the steering column there is a large white connector. The wire is right there no need to unbolt the fusebox for anything. I think it changes colors @ this connector so if you look at the other side it will be the opposite color. Mike

have ignition and power wires hooked up but,... I can't find lock motor wire. found 22 pin plug to right of fuse box, gray wire should be + when lock, but no gray wire there. found 15 pin plug, but no green orange for parking light. With 22 pin and also 20 pin plug above and 15 pin disconnected, locks still work from door switch and remote. light flash on unlock only. Where am I going wrong?   Need help, Thanks Ray

Hey Santafay, Glad to see you're making progress. And that picture of your dog Lucky is really cool---she even matches the upholstery! If I can figure it out, I'll try to post a picture of Bonnie here, or I have one at myspace.com/chrisluongo if you have an account there. Anyway, I'm afraid I might not be of much help finding that lock motor wire, as I've never had occasion to look for it. But here's where I'd start: --Operate the doorlocks, and listen for clicking inside the car; that's the lock relay. I think it's going to be part of the fusebox on your car. --Take a mental note of where the wires go through the rubber boot, from the door into the body of the car. Somehow or other, they've GOT to be running from that boot, into the car's body, and to the fusebox. --If possible, grab the boot in the doorjamb, give it a pull or wiggle, and see if you can find the corresponding wires wiggling inside the car. --Remember that around the driver's kick panel area, there's likely to be some sort of rubber-and-foam sound barrier. If you push it aside, you might find more wires behind it.

Hey, I just thought of one more thing. The "lock motor" wire is going to be running to all five doors, and those 5 different wires are all tied together at some point......they all perform the same function......so there is no particular need to get it where it goes into the driver's door. Down low in the kick panel, or under the doorsill, where the wires run to the rear of the car....you should be able to find it there too.

Thanks Chris, found correct 22 pin and gray lock wire right where you suggested. Also found relay that is handy that flashes lights when unlocking doors. can I connect to whichever wire goes to parking lites there? Thanks,, Ray

I don't see why you couldn't tie into the parking light wire wherever you happen to find it. But, if memory serves, Hyundais flash the hazards when locking and unlocking, NOT the parking lights. So, the "relay" you've found is really probably the turn-signal flasher.

found all correct wire in all the right places. engine tries to start but is factory set for 06 sec. trying to reprogram to .8 or 1 sec and voltage checking. instructions say   "push button switch in blue port is used together with the activation input wires." "push button x time and hold,   activate input then release push button.   how do I activate input?   real close now!!! thanks, ray

Yes, does sound like you are very close! To trigger the activation input, you would simply lock the car's doors electrically. Since programming requires you to have the key turned on (I think?), AND the Hyundai remotes won't work if a key is inserted in the ignition...........you won't be able to use the factory remotes to trigger the locks for programming........instead, just press the power-lock switch on the door.

Thanks Chris, Everything works like a pro job! Before moving to Florida I spent 25 years in framingham, brockton, west dennis cape cod and worcester. We were almost neighbors. Thanks again for the excellent advice. I would have unwired the car if left to my own devices.    Ray
