Question edited for clarity, and 'want' to 'won't'.
Question moved from Motorcycles to 'make year model' category.

Hi again Joe

Are these plastic screws? Someone has overtightened them and stripped the threads. Put one screwdriver under the screw head and twist it to add pressure and use another one to undo the screw. The outward pressure will make it follow the threads.

    no they are not plastic screws. I agree someone has overtightened them.

    They are metal screws! Is the heads the problem or is the nut spinning, no access to it? Stripped thread?

2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited V6 why the key remote want lock the left front driver door?

You may need to replace the power lock actuator motors inside the door . Alternatively, you can try disassembling the paneling on the left side under the steering wheel and removing two black relays on the side closest to the steering wheel. Then remove the relay covers and clean the contacts with a 1/8 fine strip of 600 wet/dry sandpaper.

2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 3.5L where can i buy a remote fob without going to a dealer?

Hi Joe

eBay or Amazon, but the best bet is a local auto locksmith or a local alarm fitting shop in case it needs programming.

How do I get the license plate screws out on a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe?

The screws are probably rusted / frozen and need some penetrating oil applied. You'll need to hold the retaining nut on the back side it sounds like it's moving. Sometimes you can use needle nose pliers to reach and hold it from the back while removing the screw/bolt, others you can use an open end wrench. Good luck.
