r/HyundaiElantra

Hey r/StupidCarQuestions,

I have a Hyundai Elantra VIN # 5NPD84LF1LH552440.

A while ago, I started getting the check break light. When I started getting it, I filled up my break fluid with DOT 3.

That made it go away for a while, but now it showed up again yesterday. It's gone again today.

I've made sure that the parking break is disengaged.

When it does show up, the car icon highlights the back wheel of the passenger side.

Any idea of what could be wrong?

I don't have a car jack with me and the dealership is closed today.

If I can get a jack, advice on what to check would be appreciated.

What do yall think?

I’ve been having some issues with my car as of late… thought my battery was dying, but the CAA guys came and checked it out saying it’s fine. Now when I turn off my car it’s making this clicking and high pitch ringing sound… is this my starter going?

I accidentally broke the passenger side mirror. The mirror was totally crushed, but the motor inside and the BSD indicator light was working fine.
I ordered an aftermarket part from Amazon. When I snap it on, I see this error message on the dash and the light on the left mirror (which works fine) turns on when I start the car, but the right one doesn't turn on.
I tried plugging and unplugging the pins multiple times, removing and actually reattaching them. I want to understand if this is an issue with the aftermarket part. I checked using my VIN number that the model number for the original mirror is supported by this aftermarket part and it's listed in the link below (87621-aa160). Can someone suggest, will, should I go ahead and order the OEM part for this or how should I go about it to fix this issue? Any other aftermarket part that's compatible that people can assist me with? Thank you.
Don't wanna spend ~$150 for the OEM if it's avoidable.

Additionally is this due to the 2 small pins or the one that connects to the BSD light? Does the ordering of the 2 small pins matter, I did unplug and turn them around still not success.
