Is your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe Key Fob not working? Or perhaps you’ve acquired a new key fob and need to get it programmed? Luckily, programming your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe key fob is a straightforward process you can accomplish right at home. This guide will walk you through each step to get your remote working again in no time.
To begin, you’ll need to locate the alarm system control module in your Hyundai Santa Fe. This is typically found under the steering column. You’ll need to remove the plate covering to access it. Look for a black box, often positioned behind and below the fuse box, near the hood release. It should be labeled as a security system module. Locate the memory switch on this module and turn it to the “Off” position to start the programming sequence.
Once you’ve set the memory switch to “Off”, insert your key into the ignition of your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe and turn it to the “On” position. Wait for approximately 5 seconds. After waiting, switch the memory switch on the control module to the “Set” position. In some 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe models, it might not be necessary to insert the key before setting the memory switch to “Set”, but this step ensures compatibility across models.
Now, take the key fob you wish to program for your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. Press the “lock” button on the remote. If you are programming additional remotes, press the “lock” button on each of them as well.
To finalize the programming, return to the alarm system control module and turn the memory switch back to the “Off” position. Turn the ignition off and remove the key. Reinstall the plate that covers the alarm system control under the steering column.
Finally, test each of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly with your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. You should now be able to lock and unlock your doors remotely.
If you encounter any difficulties programming your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe key fob, or prefer professional assistance, you can search for a local key fob installer in your area by entering your city or zip code online. They can provide expert programming services to get you back on the road quickly.
