gremlins?

[ditedog]

My 09 tech (3.8) had its first hiccup this weekend. A series of events. First a flickering dome light, the next day no volume on the stereo or phone (screen looked right but no sound). Upon restart stereo worked but was intermittent for the day. And a couple of erratic window wiper swipes. Read most all of the comments about battery, radio head and software updates as well as flickering lights but I thought I'd ask the pros. What I've done....checked battery output....its 6 weeks old and shows 12.8 v and alternator shows 14.20. Tightened my battery ground, top terminal may have been 1/16th turn loose. Made sure wiper switch is set to "off" disabling the auto wiper feature. Started car with remote key in slot a couple of times...don't know why. So I'm wondering if there is a hard reset involving a disconnected battery? If so just how? Right now the gremlins are asleep but if they show their ugly face again I want to be ready for them. Thanks

More than likely there is an intermittent ground somewhere else that causes the problem. I think I read on this forum once that there were multiple ground points throughout the car.

I remember reading about some fuse box grounding issues. Try doing a search on that and verify the fuse holders are nice and tight.
If you can figure out which fuse might be common to the affected symptoms I would certainly try pulling it and tightening the holder.

Compose your post in Notepad or something, then paste it into the editing box. That way you won't lose your text if it disappears into the bowels of the interwebs.

Contact a dealer. Hyundai extended the warranty on the wiper motors for Genesis sedans built at that time due to a defect in manufacturing. I don't remember the details, but it may still be under warranty.
