Door lock/unlock beep

[Youseethefight]

Today I noticed that when I lock the doors the car doesn't beep. When I unlock the doors it does beep. The car usually beeps for both.

I'm clueless as to why it would just stop all of a sudden.

Any help or advice would be great.


Thanks

First guess: sensors think the hood or trunk isn't closed so the alarm won't arm. Thus no beep. On 1st generation sedans look for a rubber bumper on the hood along the driver side edge, about half-way between the winshield and front of the hood. It pokes into a sensor switch mounted to the inside of the fender - surrounded by that underhood plastic stuff. See if that bumper is a) installed/present, and b) twisted in/out enough to actually push on the switch.

If it IS missing, it's a dealer part and there was a TSB about it missing. To verify if this is your no-beep bug: open the hood, push and hold the button in the fender down while you lock the car with the remote. If you get a beep, this was your bug. Unlock the car again before releasing the hood button! Otherwise it might be a tad loud...

Mike would you by happen to have that tsb number handy? Or know of how to get a hold of it. My car doesn't have that rubber bumper installed.

Car now makes the beep when I lock and unlock. Weird.

I think what happened was my passenger got out of the car before I put the car into park and the doors auto unlock. Maybe it threw it off.

Finicky car with the electronics.

Hey guys I noticed that my car doesn't make the beep when locking.
I looked under the hood and the rubber peice that goes attached to the hood is missing.
Does anyone have a part number for it?

92736-3A000 is the new extended-length "hood switch pad" or "Pad - Lid Switch" as Hyundai calls it. At least that's the number listed in TSB 09-BE-026.

It just happened to me last night, when I got home from a little trip to Iowa! I locked the doors and there was no "chirp" sound, I said to myself: I'll deal with this later...

Today, we were taking my Wife's car, I was backing up from the garage and I noticed that the trunk lid isn't closed! so, I stopped, went back to the house, grabbed my key, unlocked the doors, open and closed the trunk lid, lock it again, BAM! chirp is back!
