Engine won't start

Hyundai Elantra 2013 2.0L limited 75498 miles
Wife and I were out shopping today, Stopped at the market to pick up groceries. Headlights and radio work fine, but engine would not turn over. Got a jump start from Hyundai roadside assistance(good service) and drove the car for about 30 minutes to recharge the battery. Arrived at home, turned off the ignition. Tried to restart the car, but the engine wouldn't turn over. Headlights, radio, pwr windows, seats, etc, all work fine. Checked alternator belt tension, and it seemed to be ok. Didn't pull battery to have it checked. Any suggestions?

My wife has a 2015 elantra and am having the same issue, less than 17000 miles...did you ever find out what was the issue?

If the battery is under a certain charge then a jump will work and the lights will work but it won't be able to recharge from the altenator .take it to a shop like Canadian tire or "the us equivalent " and get then to check it. Usually done free

Keep in Park , found a little trick to it , as you turn the key , play with the shifter fiddle it in place back and forth. She'll go

I notice the same has been happening with my 2014 Elantra GL. Did you ever find out what was causing this?

Reading online feels a lot like Neutral Safety Switch / Inhibitor Switch as someone else also pointed out.

I'd say get a voltmeter tested alternator output it should be 14 volts without the lights on down to 12 if they are. If the lternator is putting out the voltage is necessary check yor contacts of your battery post see if they're corroded they may look clean on top but underneath they still may not be making contact

I just wrote a big long comment explaining what it could be & the issues I had... I can see this post is a couple of years old... but it might hopefully help anyone else out 👍🏼😊

The inhibitor switch needs replacing!

I’m in Brisbane, Australia & had the same issues! So frustrating!
Every time I was in a rush to be somewhere!

1st time, I had the battery replaced. 2 weeks later my car wouldn’t start every second day, then weeks later- 4 times in 1 day!

Most times it would start after 8 tries - but the last time - it wouldn’t start after 25 goes! 😤

Had to walk all my groceries home, then walk back before my car got towed!

Roadside assistance tried to start charging me $85 callout free + tow fee, then the service centre wanted to charge me $160 to tell me what’s wrong with it!
Even though i have gold cover warranty!
I told them all where to go!

So after several hours of online research MYSELF... (& I know NOTHING about cars!)
I came to the conclusion that it was the Inhibitor switch!

At my next service I asked them to check what the problem is (after complaining to the Car Dealership Manager), they checked for free, however couldn’t find any faults / issues! 🙄

The Manager told the service guys to order in the part & change it anyway (due to my persistence) and guess what????
No issues since!! 😱🥳

The new Inhibitor Switch part is a slightly different shape from the original.
So if your car isn’t under warranty anymore, contact Hyundai & they should supply the part for Free!
Otherwise it’s only a $20 part & takes 10 mins to change over. There is 1 good YouTube video of a guy showing it.
I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, it had only done 23,000 klm’s. I’m female & the roadside assist guy kept trying to tell me it’s definitely something more serious like the starter motor etc 🙄
I told him there’s no way it could be that!
Anyways, hope this helps a few more annoyed & frustrated people out there! 👍🏼😊

Of a 2002 Chevy Cavalier LS 2.2 L and it's and a number four in the van as a but I can start it by jumping pins 87 and 30 with the crank relay the 10 amp fuse ignition fuse was blown I replaced that didn't help the cigarette lighter fuse keeps blowing and the dome light keeps coming on when I'm stopping so certainly something electrical is going on I did just replace the ECU I went through the steps to get the Anti-Theft off and it starts so that can be the problem I just have to jump the pins any help would be greatly appreciated... Also like the top two rows of fuses inside the car the panel or not showing voltage but are not blown either so I have that going on too so I guess that's the power side not the control side I don't know I'm just starting to learn a lot about this as I'm trying to fix it but I still have no success after 2 months of trying

I had this issue too. The 10a fuse didn't look blown but it was. Change it with a spare. This was frustrating as hell when I changed my interior lights

Fuel smell outside and inside car

Hyundai Elantra 2004 Gt 100000 miles
My elantra occasionally has a smell of fuel which is so strong you can smell it outside of the car. Once it's driven with windows down it is gone and can roll windows back up. I only. Smell it again once the car gas been sitting.
There are no visible leaks.
