I have a 2000 Hyundai Sonata which does not run. The mechanic suspects
that some internal wiring has burnt down or shorted. The error codes
cannot be retrieved from the computer with a OBD II scanner and we
have tried it with a new computer too. Can anyone tell me if its
possible to check the entire wiring end to end for connectivity or is
it absolutely not worth it for a car with 96K miles on it. How much
can the cost for this run up to. Thanks.

A little more info would be nice. Does it turn over but not start?
Gets fuel or spark? Have the all the fuses and relays been checked?
Has the car been molested with a an imobilizer or remote start?

Where is the car and what would you sell it for as is?

The engine cranks but there is no spark. So one more possibility of
bad crack sensor was also eliminated by replacing it. We had also
tried to jump start the car but it never worked. I am not sure if the
fuses and relays were checked. The car is currently at a mechanic
shop.

I would like to get rid of the car so if it gets fixed then better. I
am not sure for how much I can sell a car that does not run.

Any fault code should be stored for the time spendt cranking it over.
Cam sensor and Crank sensor could both be at fault. Before you spend
more money, retrieve the fault code. The mechanic should know how (if
he's a real mechanic)
