Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra GT owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues, characterized by dashboard lights illuminating without the engine cranking. These problems may stem from several factors, including a dead battery, faulty starter, failing alternator, or issues within the ignition, fuel, or electrical systems. Common concerns for models from 2013 to 2018 include faulty ignition coils, neutral safety switch failures, and malfunctions of the starter motor or fuel pump, often accompanied by clicking noises. Some owners also note signs of an immobilizer problem, such as a blinking red light on the dashboard and the engine failing to crank. Troubleshooting steps suggest checking the condition of the key and inspecting for corrosion on connections or wires. Additionally, testing the safety switches and attempting to start the engine in Neutral are recommended. Prompt diagnosis of these issues is crucial for effective resolution.
