I have a 97 Sonata. I recently had my car NOT turn over at all. I replaced the battery and still nothing. I then jumped on the internet and I read about listening for a "Click" when trying to turn over the engine. I needed a new starter. Once replaced, they changed the alternator belt as well and the car started right up. Maybe a new starter is all you need. (My car also has 170k miles on it and was told it was a very good mile to get a starter replacement. 250.00 bucks for all I believe....

You have a short - it's hard to be more exact than that, but if you disconnect the battery and charge it outside of the car and it stays charged, you have a short. If it does not stay charged, you need a new battery.
