I have an accident on my hyundai accent driver side and mess up some of the harness connector, I need to reconnect all the wires to make it run again, would you please help?

Q: My 2002 Hyundai accent dashboard lights are out, does anyone know how to fix it?
The dashboard lights on the speedodometer and tach are out. I took the assembly out but theres no light bulbs to change. I went to Hyundai and they said it has light bulbs but it doesn't. Does anyone know how this works? It looks like it has a indiglo panel behind the actual face plate of the tach and speedometer but Hyundai says it doesn't show this on the parts diagram. Thanks a lot for any answers. It would be great to be able to see how fast I'm gong at night time.

A: Your fuse box situated below ur steeribg coloum must have shorted out the lights. check it or your bulbs that illuminate the panel must have burnt replace them

Q: I have a 2002 hyundai accent and i replaced all rear brakes parts, now i have a thumping all the time . Help?
Replaced all parts inc drums shoes hardware bearings wheel cylinder's

A: Assuming that you've checked for obvious things hitting either the wheel or drum whilst it's spinning and also assuming the noise is from one side only, I'd suspect that one of the bearings is either poorly fitted or damaged whilst being fitted or was simply a duff bearing to start with.

Q: What is the normal range for tire PSI on a 2002 Hyundai Accent?
I'm not quite sure.

A: The sticker on the door is the recommended PSI. Doesn't mean you have to go there. I always put 35 in my Hyundai since I typically get too lazy to check my tires often. But what the door says will give you the best handling and performance for that setup. If you go into different sized tires, it may change.

Q: What kind of oil does a 2002 Hyundai Accent GL take?
about 69k miles... Just wondering what kind of oil I am supposed to put in it... I put in 5w30.... is that good??? help!! =-O

A: Actually, the ONLY reason manufacturers recommend 5W30 is because they are required to; due to the fact that they run the light oil in the engine for the EPA mileage test. Run Shell Rotella-T, 15W40 unless you're in a really cold climate. It has better lubricity than synthetics. Hot Rod magazine did a multi-page article about oils, particularly as they relate to camshaft wear, a few months back. Basically car oil is getting worse, due to emission requirements on new cars, diesel oil is still carrying the max amount of what provides lubrication, which is what all, especially used & older, cars need. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/flat_tappet_cam_tech/oil_summary.html http://www.fordmuscle.com/blog/use-the-right-oil-with-your-flat-tappet-cams/11295 http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?siteId=rotella-en&FC2=/rotella-en/html/iwgen/leftnavs/zzz_lhn2_0_0.html&FC3=/rotella-en/html/iwgen/products/dir_products.html

Q: How do you adjust the headlights for a 2002 hyundai accent? Missing owners manual & need help!?
There are several screws and bolts, but I'm hesitant to start taking the headlight apart. Any suggestions?

A: Dump the Hyundai and get a HONDA!!

Q: New tires for a 2002 Hyundai Accent?
I am looking to get all 4 tires replaced. Any suggestions on style/brand/estimated good prices? I am looking for all weather or at least all season since I live in MA and we get quite the range of fun weather. The quote I currently have for 4 tires (mounted/balanced, etc) is $284.77 for 40K tires. Any tips/suggestions? Thanks!

A: That quote sounds reasonable to me for a small car. Sears usually has very good prices on tires. While you could order tires off www.tirerack.com, I'm not sure there's any advantage since you'd still have to do the work and you're tire size is so cheap already. The only tip I have is don't buy the most expensive tires in the store, but not the cheapest either. I see alot of ad's where if you buy 3 tires the 4th is free, I think Pepboys would be another good option, Merchants is usually more expensive.

Q: why do both brake lights not work on the 2002 hyundai accent and the bulbs and fuse are ok?


A: check the ground wire for either light
