If it can be repaired, it might require the use of specialty frame machine, and it may be difficult to find a shop or dealer with the proper equipment. I would consider the overall mechanical and cosmetic condition of the vehicle and obtain at least two estimates for repairing the frame damage from reputable or certified European car technicians before deciding if the car is worth salvaging. This is a situation where you could easily spend a lot of money and end up with a car that isn't properly repaired or drive-able.
Not really sure if other modles got the same location.
Battery located under the Right Back Passenger seat.
for the seadan ... you may have to remove the back seat by pressing the corner bottoms in both sides then left it up and drag it to front to got it free... you will see the battery under it.
for the wagon... open the back right door and release the bottom seat by pressing the lock handle at the side of the seat up.... seat bottom will be cimi free to be lifted to front and then you will have free access to the battery.
if you just need to recharch the low battery... you can find the charging plugs under the hood to the left side ( +) will be covered with black plastic box... open it and connect the possitive cable (red)... ( - ) will be few inches front of that to be conected with nigative cable (black)
the way to do it is take the switch out and swop it with passager side then if passager side stops working you no the switch has gone and you need to buy new switch. if not you would have to check window motor in door
it really isn too badd what you need to do is loosen all four then you just take ou the bolts in the front leave the rear in loose but in then the front will come down low enogh to get the upper pieces out then reassemble the front leaving bolt loose then do the same to the rear then tighten all the bolts back up
The solenoids are under the side pan on the transmission on the drivers side. You will have to go through the drivers side fender well. Remove the wheel, brake caliper, spindle, take the rack and pinion loose, install engine support, place jack under left side (drivers side) of subframe, remove subframe mounting bolts, loosen (do not remove) right side subframe mounting bolts, lower left side of subframe 4 to 6 inchs, go to engine support and lower engine and transmission down just enough so that transmission side pan can be removed. Thanks and good luck with your repairs.
There is NO open recall on the Santa Fe, However, there is one on the 1999-2004 SONATA (EF) and 2001-2004 XG300/XG350 (XG) vehicles that are registered and operated in specified “salt belt” states may exhibit corrosion damage to the subframe assembly. If specified levels of corrosion damage have occurred as described in this bulletin, replace the front subframe with a new subframe that incorporates additional holes in the upper and lower panels. If a front subframe does not require replacement, add drainage holes and treat the subframe with rust-proofing material.
