Hi, I have a 1990 Hyundai Sonata, and over the past few weeks, I have had intermittent problems starting the car.
The accessory lights and everything else (headlights, etc) would work fine, but no cranking of the engine, just a click followed by a kind of whining sound from the engine bay (an electrical whining though, not a mechanical whine).
I could always overcome this problem by popping the bonnet (hood) and twisting the negative terminal connector of the battery and making sure it was on properly.
This worked every time, but now even that has stopped working, and no matter how nice and clean and tight I make the connection of the terminal, still the car won't start. No cranking, just that click and whine. Headlights still work, interior lights work.... everything but the actual starting of the car.
Any ideas what's up? Any info would be great :)
Cheers, Martin
