There is an issue with my electrical system. I have a short in the interior lights also. My brake lights keeps going out. Driver side rear light wouldn't work. Now the brake light went out on the passenger side and the driver side works. I have changed those bulbs out at least five times. I had the Hyundai dealership check it out and they said they found nothing wrong with it even the inside lights. It angers me because they just want me to bring it back so they can submit a different problem and charge me a new diagnosis fee. Not sure if there is a recall on this problem. Thank you for listening.
