Popped hood and found gray foam corrosion on positive battery terminal and main fuse on terminal blown. Multiple attempts to start vehicle failed and vehicle would not start. Had vehicle towed to hyundai dealer in albany, ny. Dealer diagnosed vehicle as needing new battery, fuse (duh!) and starter! I have not in 30 years had a starter and battery need to be replaced at same time. This is a hyundai battery too, not aftermarket. Over $800 to get vehicle fixed!
