Car not turning over

Asked by Meel_ Jul 19, 2022 at 11:22 AM about the 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 2011 Hyundai Sonata(push to start), and
when I put my foot on the brake and push the start
button everything electrical comes on; such as the
radio etc, I can use to windows and other things but
the engine doesn’t turn over all I hear is a single click
coming from under the hood.

That single click indicates a problem in the starting circuit; likely a problem starter solenoid, loose/corroded battery cables or a bad ignition switch. The car takes 3 volts to run. The starter motor takes 12., and it's not getting it. check battery cables first. If something else, diagnose until you find it.
