Starting the Car

Asked by PRoyals7 Jul 22, 2018 at 08:22 AM about the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe SE Ultimate FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

On my 2017 Santa Fe, when I push the ignition button, I hear a click then the instrument panel goes black and the car won't start. When I open the door, the panel comes back. When I close the door the car will start. I have to do this several times on some occasions. The car could start normally for a period of time, and then this just happens. When the instrument panel does come back on, I always have to reset the "sounds" setting. Otherwise, no other setting are lost.

Maintenance & Repair
I have a 2008 hyundai santa fe gls 4dr. I originally had a problem with the car starting in park, which at first i thought was the battery as it was still factory. I changed the battery and realized it was not the problem as the car elctronics worked flawless but there was not sound of turn over or clicking just nothing. I soon discovered the car would crank and run as expected when shift release was pressed and the car was put into neutral. I diagnosed it as a neutral safety switch but after driving i realized the car will shift into the park position but it is not recognized by the vehicle and the car easily rolls as if in neutral and makes a clicking sound every few inches(maybe centimeter, a very short distance). so in short my vehicle starts in neutral, rolls in park while clicking, all other gears work fine from what i can tell. Im stumped. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Will the parking pawl affect my ability to crank the car in park? 3 Answers
