Double ck that the battery is sitting flush on the plate & that u have the right batt. But in answer to your question, Yes u can use a longer bolt. Make sure the terminals are clear of all when the hood is down! Good luck

You have the wrong battery, get the correct one. If the battery is not secure and comes loose the acid can destroy a lot of parts.

Clutch installation

Genewrally speaking you need to remove the gear box. UNdo the bolts holding the clutch pressure plate on the flywheel. . Do this by undoing each bolt a few turns at a time. Remove pressure plate and clutch plate. Clean flywheel face. Remove bearing at center of crankshaft and replace as it will be dry and probably rusty. Fit new clutch plate taking care to observe the correct way the plate is fitted. Normally the raised hub section faces away from the flywheel. THis can be checked by pressing the plate against the flywheel and turning it and it it hits the crank bolts you have it in the wrong way round. Fit the pressure plate over the plate and insert the bolts. Some units have 2 or 4 bolts longer than the restand this is to allow the plate to be depressed a fraction to allow the other bolts to screw in. Place a clutch aligning tool through the clutch plate and into the bearing. Evenly retension the pressure plate bolts going alternately across the cover a bit at a time . When retensioned remove the clutch aligning tool. Remove and replace the throw out bearing on the clutch release forks. Ensure that the clutch kit is all new as mixing parts will not work. Refit the gear box. Basically that is the proceedure but to be exact get the manual for your vehicle to cover any extra steps needed for that vehicle.

How to change the license plate light bulb on my 2010 Hyundai Sonata

If you are under warranty, go to the dealership and have them do it. You have to take the trunk liner off. The opening for the driver side bulb is smaller and cut up my hand from such a small fit. Otherwise buy cheap bulbs as everything else on Alibaba. Hope this helped

My hyandai sonata only starts when i press the immobiliser however the immobiliser is not working and i have replaced the batteries i need my car can u pls help?

Take the batteries out and put them back in again. Make sure they are in correctly. Try the immobilizer again. If it still does not work, reverse the batteries and try again. If that doesn't work you may have to contact a Hyundai dealership for help.

Bulb replacement in hyndai sonata high mounted rear stoplight

Research revealed no available illustration of procedure. If memory serves, there are two 'access' plates on either side of the lamp assy (popped out with small screwdriver) and two phillps screws retaining the assy in place. Remove the access plates (plastic) and the screws behind them.. access is gained.

How i install car stereo in sonata

I have a 2004 Sonata and I'm currently in the process of installing a new stereo system. It's really easy to remove the original radio, you just have to remove the wooden panel face plate that surrounds the radio and air vents.

There are two notches that pretty much lock the face plate on. Right above the ash tray and the bottom of the wooden panel face plate, there's a tiny notch that you can push up on. There's another one that's hidden right above the cigarette lighter. Just push a flat-blade screw driver into both notches and gently push up. Once you lift that up, slowly pull it towards you, and keep prying it open starting from the bottom and moving towards the top. Make sure you pull on it carefully since the air vent ducts and wiring for the fan controls are attached to the face plate. I didn't have to remove the wiring for the fan controls, since I was able to easily move the entire face plate out of the way.

There are four screws that hold the radio in place. Keep in mind, these are screwed in by some machine, so I'd recommend using a power screw driving so you don't end up stripping the screws. Once you remove the four screws you can easily slide out the radio and unplug the wiring harness and antenna.

I searched a lot of places for a converter that would fit directly from the wiring harness in the car to the plug in my new radio, but to no avail. I'm at the point now that I'm going to cut off the original harness in the car and splice the wires, and connect them to the new radio's wires using a crimper. It's really not that hard, but I wanted to avoid cutting and splicing since I previously thought you would lose a lot of sound quality. It turns out, I spoke with several people who did the same thing, and as long as you crimp the wires together properly, you really don't lose out on the sound quality. It's a fairly easy task since all the wires are color-coded, so just match the wires, splice just enough for it to fit inside the caps, and crimp them together.

Then just plug in the adapter into your new radio, screw it in, and you're good to go! I wish there were more adapters out there, but it looks like more and more cars are changing their wiring harnesses, probably to discourage us do-it-yourselfers and pay some insane amount of money to some chump in a dealership garage. Don't be discouraged though! It's really not that hard!
