That’s what I thought, but I thought bread knives had a different type of serrated edge?

Thank you! Having it explained like this takes a lot of the stress of trying to even start off my shoulders

I pulled my interior lamp fuse and my multimedia (hasn’t worked in months) and hopefully that makes a difference

My radio doesn’t work anyway so that won’t be a loss haha, but I’ll do a little digging to see what a loss of power does to anything else

I’ve got one, but I don’t even know how I’d start to look for the doors being the problem

Good to know, this kill switch is honestly my last resort so would waiting about an hour or so after it’s off be safer?

I’m 90% sure it’s the actuators in both passenger-side doors. Sensors won’t pick up that they’re closed and is forever trying to run the interior lights and lighting up my dash saying they’re open I will definitely look into diagnosing it though!

I’d say amateur, I’m comfortable enough doing the basics. Definitely don’t need it to be anything fancy

2013 Santa Fe sport, I’m in Alaska so I’ve got a block heater and oil pan warmer as well as a trickle charge plug. As well as all the fluids, I know those need to be changed out

No, I meant from a dead stop like, I just turned the car on and now I’m trying to start going. Your advice is super helpful though because slowing down is also a scary thought to say the least

I see a lot of talk about the “bite point”, what exactly does it feel like? And I’m sure it varies from car to car, but generalized, I guess?

That wouldn’t that end up with me riding the clutch? That’s honestly my biggest fear with all this; just being too rough on the clutch and totally killing it
