That wouldn't be a computer problem , maybe be the ignition switch . If you don't know how to test automotive electrical circuits , viewing wiring diagrams an using a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter your best bet , have a qualified repair shop check it out . More then likely just a electrical connection problem , Voltage drop testing on main power circuit's is what needs to be done.
Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb/ Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine . Under system click on electrical distribution , then under subsystem click on power distribution . Click the search button then the blue link. Start at the beginning testing battery connections , cables . Power supply to the fuse boxes ,to the ignition switch , an from the ignition switch. There is battery voltage to the ignition switch ,hooking up a test light or voltmeter to that main battery power feed an turning the key to run start etc... does the light go out or stay bright ?

What would you like to know ? How to fix ? Do you know anything about automotive electrical circuits ? Go http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html for free wiring diagrams ! Go to you tube an check out videos on basic automotive electrical trouble shooting , Do you own a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter . also check out videos on voltage drop testing . Then with wiring diagram in hand check voltage drop on the circuits in question . Oh one more thing ,there is probably a module that controls these things , so it wouldn't to have a scan tool hooked to check for codes in body controller . Voltage Drop Essentials TST Motor Age
When you turn the key to on, do the dash and warning lights come on? This would verify power to the ignition switch.
It's like this: you have a positive battery cable with a lot of juice connected to the starter, but not to the starter motor. It is only connected to the starter motor when the start wire out of the ignition switch energizes the starter solenoid, mounted on top of the starter.
So you check the small wire to the starter for power with the key held in start. If it has power then, the starter or the solenoid is probably bad- as long as the battery is charged and the battery connections and starter connection is good.
If you have no power on the small wire in start, trace the start wire back to the ignition switch. You may need a wiring diagram- there is often a start relay, a park/neutral safety switch with automatics or a clutch safety switch with a manual transm., and sometimes a "crank" fuse. All or some may be in the path of the start wire from ignition switch to the starter solenoid. You would need a voltmeter or test light to check this circuit. If you want more help, post back with make, model, year, and engine, and I could look at a wiring diagram for your start circuit, or I could post a link for you to see the diagram.
Check the fuse. Also make sure your dimmer for the dash lights does is not turned all the way down. If all that checks out, your dimmer may be need replaced.
When you turn your key to start
your engine, it just clicks, right? If so, more than likely this is due
to a bad battery. Even though your battery may appear to be fully
charged, it may have a dead cell, or worse. If you get a jump, does the vehicle start? If so, replace your battery.
Possible sources of the problem if the engine does not crank or the relay clicks:
Go to www.hmaservice.com and register( Vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you have access to shop manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, etc. about your vehicle.
may not have one because it could be hooked up to your ignition,so i would suggest that you check for power on the switch it self,if you got power both sides then remove your light globe and check if any power is there,if so replcae globes,if not check wiring from switch to lights.
After some extensive research, it looks as though they have two totally different body styles as well as a few others. The differences are as follows:
Lantra: 1.5L
Elantra: 1.6L or 1.8L engine sizes
Lantra: 2,336 lbs
Elantra: 2,500lbs Weight
Lantra: 11.89 gal
Elantra: 13.7 gal fuel capacity
those are only three differences that i have put up among the many that i have found. Lantra's also seem to be one of those out of states type cars that you find in Australia mostly. The body is also totally different.
