    I have a strange smell emanating from under the hood. It's very
    overpowering. It smells almost electrical but not sure. Upon closer look
    it seems to be coming from around the alternator. After only a short time
    running (1-2min.) the smell is very strong and the alternators housing is
    very hot to the touch. The batttery light came on yesterday but went out
    after about 5 min. What should I do?

    I had a 2000 Sonata but never had this problem . Id take it in to your
    personal Car Mechanic, or, to a Hyundai Dealership.

    Chances are it's your alternator, but it could also be a poor connection in
    the main wire to/from your alternator.
