Thanks again for your blog, it helped a lot!!. Check engine light being on due to the fuel sensor problem. Since I just filled up 10 miles ago, I knew that the vehicle has an electrical problem. The gauge starts to go up towards full once she has driven 50-75 miles. This problem can be a safety issue for some consumers who isn't mechanically inclined or for those who are religious about checking the fuel level regularly! Now that just added at least another 2 hours to the labour hours. Took it to service station, they put on computer.
On top of low prices, Advance Auto Parts offers 1 different trusted brands of Fuel Level Sensor products for the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. The fuel level sensor consists of two parts, one is mechanical float and the other side is variable resistor. This has made made the fuel gauge needle to go hay wire as well as the check engine light to come on. Following video is my final work record. Within 10 mins the service engine light came on and my fuel went to empty. When will Hyundai take ownership for this and make it a recall? Replaced both sensors and it went pretty smoothly 7 hours. In my case, a flat-head screwdriver and a small hammer were used to remove it easily.
This is a safety issue and should be taken as such. Just a few short days later, the same thing happened all over again. Or you may just be struggling to keep it highway-approved. Many thanks for your blog and video!!! Timing belt, yes will take about 4 to 6 hours , but a timing chain will take over 8 hours because it is inside the motor. I will update it on the posting soon.
I bought a used 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe with 99, 387 miles on it from the original owners. Until a gas station attendant didn't fill my tank all the way and I ran out of gas on a dangerous entry ramp last week. I bought the car used and have only had it for 2 years, so I should not have to pump this kind of money into it already. I have not had it very long at all, and I noticed right after I bought it that the fuel gauge wasn't reading correctly when I filled it up. How can Hyundai ignore this very dangerous problem? The vehicle had ran out of gas in this area and left her stranded alone. Your video and blog were the only guide I used and it was spot on! Otherwise, tomorrow when the gasoline evaporates I'll vacuum the carpets and put everything back together.
And it may be hard to explain but, the wires outside the covers are anchored which makes it hard to move the covers enough to access the connections. I don't know when gas will be empty and don't have the money to stick into this. I ordered the part and am getting it fixed next week. Crankshaft Position Sensor The crankshaft position sensor is located at the front of the engine near the timing belt. We thought we had a major problem since the Check Engine Light comes on when the gas gauge goes bonkers also. I thought it was not closing the fuel cap properly. D+9 Days Finally, I replaced two fuel level sensors in my Santa fe and it is working perfectly.
No matter the situation, Advance Auto Parts has the Fuel Level Sensor product you desperately need. The fact that several other cars are having the exact problem. Unknown what the issue is or what caused the smell. I just wanted other people to save their money like me. I've seen many other complaints about this on this site. I know of one incident that the vehicle ran out of gas while the woman was coming home late at night from her shift as a nurse. We have 3 reviews on our Fuel Level Sensor products for the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe from previous customers.
A few moths back I got a letter from Hyundai about some recalls on my car and had them all fixed, in November had a diagnostic done on my battery, alternator and starter and all where good. Now , do you know if it is a timing belt or a timing chain. Myself and the other Hyundai owner just reset our trip meters. Have parts delivered straight to your home, or find the nearest Advance Auto Parts store to check out our Fuel Level Sensor stock in-person! This is a manufacture issue and should be fixed by such not the consumer. Extended warranty covered it, thankfully. I then took it to AutoZone and the code said it is the fuel gauge sending unit that needs to be replaced.
Said it reads almost full tank of gas, but my gauge still shows empty. This should be a recall. Fuel Level Sensor restores reliable fuel gauge readings at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire Fuel Pump Assembly. I'm very concerned because of the distance I have to travel to work. Very annoying since she never really knows how much rule is in the tank.
The fuel level sensor output voltage changes depending on the movement of the fuel mechanical float. The manufacturer needs to recall his problem. I am not an expert or a well-trained mechanic but I want to replace it by myself. Posted on Oct 31, 2009 P0463 Hyundai - Fuel Level Sensor 'A' Circuit High Input P0464 Hyundai - Fuel Level Sensor 'A' Circuit Intermittent P0463 Hyundai - Fuel Level Sensor 'B' Circuit High Input Possible causes - Faulty fuel level sensor - Fuel level sensor harness is open or shorted - Fuel level sensor circuit poor electrical connection The fuel level sensor of is mounted in the fuel level sensor unit. I took it to the dealership and was told it was something with the fuel sensor. Since I never know how much gas I really have, I reset the odometer to 0, fill the tank and fill up every 200 miles. As you said, the lock rings would be very difficult to remove.
The fuel gauge also bounced from empty to proper amount regardless of recently filling the tank. If you have a questions, don't hesitate! Since then, from August 13 until the current time September 5th, 2018 the problem has occurred 4 times! If you still have a question, don't hesitate it. This should have been recalled a long time ago and I can assure you that neither I or any of my friends will ever buy another Santa Fe unless they fix this problem!! Once you are finished, just retape the wires to the anchors using new electrical tape. When I talked to service dept. I wish it will run perfectly. Of course, you should hit it back in re-assembling steps.
