2019 Hyundai Eon Tailgate and Speedometer Warning Light Concerns

Hey there, I hear ya! Had a similar issue with my 2016 Hyundai Elantra last year. The automatic tailgate stopped working and there was this relentless warning light puttering around my speedometer. Took it to the garage and turns out it was a faulty cable. It was quite a serious issue as it was affecting the tailgate sensor and causing electrical miscommunications across the vehicle. The mechanic had to replace the defective cable to fix it. Honestly, it was a bit of a headache because of the time it took to identify the problem and replace the part. But, once it was done, it was smooth sailing from then on. No more ghost warning lights on the speedometer or a stubborn tailgate. So based on my experience, a visit to a trusty mechanic would be advisable here. Faulty cables can wreak havoc if left unchecked. Good luck!

Hey! Really appreciate your insights! It's crazy how one faulty cable can cause such a mess. I'm relieved to hear your Elantra's doing fine now. I guess I shouldn't delay my dreaded visit to the mechanic. By the way, do you happen to remember how much the whole ordeal set you back? Also, did more issues pop up after you got the cable replaced or has it been pretty much glitch-free since then? Thanks!

Hey! Absolutely, it's mind-boggling how one lousy wire can stir up so much chaos in a car. Good news though - all has been serene since the mechanic dealt with the cable trouble. My Elantra's been purring like a kitten! As for the costs, it set me back 95.00 €. At first it did sting, but I can tell you it was worth every penny to have that annoying warning light vanish and the tailgate doing its thing again. Fingers crossed, I'd say it's money well spent! And don't worry too much about the mechanic visit. I mean, yeah, it's a bother while you're in the thick of it, but once the issue's sorted, it's all smooth cruising from there. So go ahead and book that appointment. Best of luck with it!

Hey! Thank you for the reassurance and for being so open about your own experience. It's kind of comforting to know that I'm not alone here. 95.00 € isn't too bad considering it resolved so much! I'm also mentally prepared for the momentary hassle of the mechanic visit, considering the smooth ride that'd follow after. I'll be contacting my mechanic soon to get this sorted out. Crossing my fingers that it ends up being just as straightforward and glitch-free for my car as it was for your Elantra. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers!
