Question:

Why does my Hyundai Sonata keep blowing the dash lights and right tail light fuse?

My AC does not work and i am thinking that it might be related to that but i am not sure. I hae recently added a PA system however it seems to working fine and that fuse is not blowing at all. When i replace the fuse it works for a short time before blowing once more! Please Help

I'd like to know what they are calling a thrust rod for starters.
Of course, it is obvious that you either have a short somewhere on the equipment to which the fuses concerned are blowing, or you might be using lower rated fuses than what is recomended by the manufacturer. However, keep something in mind for future reference. Do not keep changing the blown fuses, or you might end up destroying the part that the fuse is protecting! Just change the fuse once, if it blows, do not bother to attempt putting another fuse, until the problem is fixed. Also, always make sure that you replace all fuses with the exact same rated fuse as the manufacturer recommended for that bank. Do not use lower or higher rated fuses, and never connect the fuse terminals with aftermarket wires or conductors.
If you altered a wiring system to hook up your PA, it could be the problem. Rerouting electricity, even low voltages, is an exact science. However, the warranty on the altered system is most likely voided since aftermarket parts have been installed. Is the proper amp fuse in place in the fuse panel? Without the year, it is difficult to determine exactly what recalls are outstanding. But if you purchased it from a dealer, they should all have been taken care of before you drove away with the car. However, there is no recall based on dash lights, A/C and fuses. There may be multiple service bulletins, but these are not the same and you may be responsible for the fees to correct the problem. A/C: 'Does not work' is kind of vague. Does the air blow at all? If not, it's probably the blower resistor/relay. If the air blows but is warm, you may need a recharge. There could be a leak though, and if that's the case, you'll want a qualified A/C tech do to the repairs. Hyundai is not junk. I have worked with them for almost five years and every make has it's share of recurring problems. The Sonata is one of the top ten imports in this country.
