Some Hyundai Tiburon owners report experiencing issues with their battery failing to hold a charge after fuses are replaced, often requiring a jump start to run briefly. These problems may stem from a faulty charging system, where a malfunctioning alternator or voltage regulator fails to provide adequate charge while the engine is running, indicated by the battery warning light illuminating on the dashboard. Additionally, some owners find that old batteries struggle to retain a charge effectively, and recharging the battery with a charger may help, though it may not be a permanent solution. There are also reports of alternator issues contributing to the battery's inability to hold a charge, prompting recommendations to test the alternator's functionality. Furthermore, in cases where a new alternator has been installed, there is a significant chance that the battery itself is the culprit, with a notable percentage attributing the problem to the alternator's voltage regulator. It is advisable for owners facing these issues to thoroughly check the charging system and test both the battery and alternator to ensure proper functionality.
