Hundai elantra not starting and power locks not working even from inside the car

Its difficult to diagnose this particular issue without knowing the year, make, model and engine size of the vehicle in question?

constant clicking means the solenoid for your starter motor is either:
- Defective (not likely- since the click means it was working momentarily)
- Not getting enough power to stay on (battery is good for light, not for amperage of starter motor)
- Turns itself off due to overload amperage (seized starter motor/engine)

The clicking is commonly just an indicator of a dead battery; the solenoid clicks- connects power to the huge drain of the starter motor- then, as the amperage draw "browns out" the battery, not enough power is left to keep the solenoid on- clicks off. power drain is gone- solenoid clicks back on- (repeat until battery is REALLY too dead to even get the solenoid to click)

Its important to note that interior lights, dashboards, and stereos draw very little power, an are not good indicators of battery charge.

I would recommend getting a jump-start from somebody, before doing anything more intense. After engine is running, maybe bring it to a mechanic to check its battery charging circuit.

I have the same problem. Usually I notice that somehow my trunk is open. Even if it is slightly open the light in there is on and the battery drains. I have also had it happen when there hasn't been anything on or open. I have to take it to the dealer at some point but for now I am replacing the battery because it is competely drained and I can't even get a jump to charge it. :(

it could be a fuse,, check in the fuse box under the hood for one that says Start or ignition, if you have zero power to the car, No lights, radio, nothin, check the battery posts , clean them and tighten them up, if they were to bad then the alternator couldn't recharge you battery , try jump starting it but let the powered vehicle run for a while with the cables attached to your car to assist in charging your battery ,, then try and start the vehicle

this is due to a dead battery, the problem is getting into the car to connect jumper cables to try and start the car, alot of these cars are all eclectronic controllled and the key fob is what controls door locks and starting but with a dead battery it cant communicate with computer, if the doors are locked and theres no lock on the door to unlock it then you will need to have AAA unlock it with a tool that goes inside to release lock and then gain acess to battery and replace it or jump it, and go from there, it may just be a bad battery or something was left on like a light but most of these cars have an anti drain module which will shut power down if something is left on until the engine is started. good luck and hope this helps.

Check the total wiring connections with battery.Check that there has been overlapped positive and negative wires or not.

there is a relay in the engine compartment relay fuse box should be labeled pull it out look at the relay and jump the same wire the number 30 and 87 on the relay then try and start car. if it don't work check for power there if no power move to the fuse in same compartment.if there is power the installation could be wrong. make sure the ground is properly connected to the frame/body/sending unit.

their is no doubt some way to reset it by turning the key so many times left and right ?? but try this ,and that put key in drivers side lock and lock and open three times slowly then open door on last attempt and try to start within 15 secs of opening the door lock ,also try the spare key in case the chip has fallen out of the key ??

you meant its a NO CRANK engine.
silent starter, say the word silent.
even the starter relay must click.
and if head lamps die, so will be the starter.
due to a dead battery,
sounds like a bad battery to me. dead or only
DISCHARGED.
if the Charge/battery lamp is off in the cluster driving. its ok. the alternator.

starter car with the jumper cables connected
and not next day.
only live jumps matter. or you go know where.
if you want to walmart they have tool there that
tests the alternator
battery
and for phantom drains all in 6 min work, the tool does all the work.

if the battery is charged, it will crank I bet
its discharging.
for 1 of 3 reasons.
1: its bad.
2: the charge system is dead.
3: phantom drains, it goes dead as you sleep
the head lamps dead is the big clue there.

either there is a drain on the electrical system your battery is no good or you have a bad altenator
