I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day.
Is the alarm (pulsing horn and exterior lights) still going off with the key in the ignition and in the RUN position?
Will the car crank and start?

Look under the driver's side of the dash for out-of-place wiring and models that do not appear to be from Hyundai.

Since you were not able to reply to the info request I sent. I cannot be as accurate and thorough as I would like in my answer. I hope what I can provide does help.
I believe the concern is an aftermarket alarm that needs to be removed and the wires repaired to stop this concern and allow the vehicle to start.
Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose
