Urgent Help - 2016 Genesis Sedan AWD not powering off properly

[hyukkieBEAR]

Hi all,

I have brought it to the Dealer, and they could not replicate nor discover the electrical issue I am facing. It's not consistent, but when I turn the car off, all the electricity would sometimes just go off immediately - steering wheel doesn't go back, radio shuts off, analog clock resets to 0, and the MPG resets to 0 as well. This is resolved by opening the door and closing it back. HOWEVER, it has gotten to a point where opening the door doesn't reset the electronics, and I've been stranded. I was hoping one of you could maybe pinpoint the issue here.

Check the battery and terminals.

Check the battery and terminals.

And the ground. Sometimes they look clean but are not.

I had the same problem and the problem was the positive battery connector box (little black box connected to the +).

Next time your problem happens, don't close your door and try to hit that box softly with something hard (not your hand). Vibrations will most probably fix the bad contact and you will be sure that's the real problem.

When you shut your door it causes a small vibration.

Tell us if it works!

Good luck!

Agreed,

Sounds like the same issue I had, loose battery terminal. One cannot just look at the battery terminal or check that the screw is tight, but needs to physically tug the connector to make sure there is no wiggle room.

This works! But this does not seem like a permanent solution, as it happens again the next engine shut off. How has your experience been like?
