• Alternative to Air Bag Suspension Kit for 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
• The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4170 can be a bit tricky to mess with since it's an air bag that sits inside a spring. If the bags were punctured during use then your best solution would be to use the Coil SumoSprings for your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe instead. It looks like you have a 4x4 so you'll need the kit # CSS-1125R unless you have a GLS or Limited - in that case you'll need the kit # CSS-1145R instead. These insert between the individual coils on your OEM spring suspension...

• Setting Up Australian-Market 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe to Tow Trailer With Electric Brakes
• In the US market, Hyundai does not pre-wire the Santa Fe for electric trailer brakes. From my research online, I found that an Australian 7-way flat trailer connector does use the blue wire in the # 5 position to carry trailer brake output voltage. To actuate your brakes, you would need to install a brake controller. Your vehicle might be pre-wired, you would need to check with a local Hyundai dealer about that, there might be an adapter harness available that would make installation...

• Troubleshooting Hyper Flash After Trailer Wiring Install on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
• I checked your order notes and it looks like you have the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56184 on your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. Sometimes if the Curt wiring harnesses converter boxes don't get secured well enough to where they are mounted they can end up shorting out from banging around in the vehicle. This isn't a super common problem with Curt harnesses, but we have found that the double-sided tape of the box comes loose pretty easily and can cause movement which can damage the internals. We...

• Troubleshooting New Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Not Working for 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
• The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # 118258 not having any power means that either the fuse that comes with it is bad or a fuse for the trailer lights on your 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe is bad since this is connected to the OEM tow package. From what I was seeing in the online owner's manual the "BATT" fuse in the engine compartment fuse box takes a 30A fuse and protects the Trailer Power Outlet so that's what you'll want to check. If the fuses look good then I'd try...

• Troubleshooting No Turn Signals with T-Connector Wiring Installed on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe
• To test the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR on your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe you can test at the 4-Way connector, but it would also be a good idea to test the wiring coming out of the converter box as well as the green and yellow wires you see on the connector that goes to your vehicle. If you see power on the green and yellow wires but it isn't coming out of the box then you know the box is bad and you'll want to take advantage of the limited lifetime warranty of this wiring....

• Troubleshooting Yakima TwoTimer Bike Rack With Excessive Play
• The best option to help reduce the amount of play you are experiencing with the Yakima TwoTimer Bike Rack in your Curt Hitch # C13152 is not a rubber wedge, but the Trailer Hitch Support Strap - Bike Rack Strap # 18050. Loop one end of this strap around the upright bar of the TwoTimer and attach the padded hook end through the hatch of your Hyundai Santa Fe. I have added a link to a video for you which shows exactly how this strap works.

• Coil-Rite Air Bags are Noisy on a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
• Water doesn't make a good lubricant but it could help temporarily with squeaky things. Regardless this is the first time I have heard of this issue. It is possible that the air bags are not all the way seated or they could be inflated beyond the maximum, which is 35 psi for kit # F4170. Or you may need to try more or less air pressure (as long as you stay within that 5 to 35 psi range). I am wondering if the bags are making significant contact with the coil springs. They will touch it...

• Wiring Harness Does Not Work on 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe
• There are a number of troubleshooting steps to take if the Trailer Wiring Harness # 118473 is not working for your 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe.

• Trailer Brake and Turn Signals Not Working when Connected to 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
• The wiring harness # C56184 for your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe would not work or would not work properly if it is not grounded correctly. It needs to be grounded to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface. No paint or coating. And it would be best if grounded by itself and not with other electrical device grounds. There are some easy ways to test the vehicle side 4-Way to determine if it is the problem. I have included a link to the right to our help article that will help you. It is...

• Can Hitch/Trailer Wiring Installation on 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Cause Back Up Camera to Malfunction
• I spoke with the folks at Curt about the issue you're experiencing. My contact in the technical services department tells me that since the proximity sensors are still working and since the camera is still functional, that it's extremely unlikely that the hitch or wiring harness installation caused the lines to disappear from the camera display. If the # CU94FR wiring or the # e98843 hitch was interfering somehow, those functions would very likely not work at all. Some of the back up camera...

• To determine the correct ball mount to use for your Hyundai Santa Fe with a Class III 2 inch receiver hitch and the Jay Feather Ex Port 17c travel trailer you will need to measure from the ground to the top of the receiver hitch opening on the Santa Fe and from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler on the travel trailer, with the trailer parked on a fairly level surface and the trailer frame level. Once you have those measurements, you can subtract the height of the Santa Fe...

• Trouble Getting M10 Bolts To Thread Into Frame Rails On a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe
• As you are having problems installing the bolts that come in the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13152 for your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. I recommend using a tap and die set to clean up the threads both on the inserts in the frame of your Santa Fe but also on the bolts included with the receiver. You should be able to find a tap and die set for the bolts at your local hardware store. It is possible that there is damage to the threaded insert and it needs to be cleaned up with a tap to...

• Trailer Lights Come on With 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Off With Curt Wiring Harness
• There are a myriad of reasons why your trailer lights would be on while your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe's lights are off, and generally the issue is on the trailer side. So the first thing to do is take a look at your trailer's 4-way and check it for corrosion. A build-up of corrosion can cause numerous issues with the lighting signals, so if it is corroded then you will need to replace your trailer 4-way with the Hopkins 4-Pole Flat Connector # HM38134. Also, to ensure there is no corrosion...

• Troubleshooting Curt C56332 Wiring Harness Installed on 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe
• First, you'll want to make sure the included 10 amp fuse has been inserted into the red fuse holder on the wiring harness. The harness won't operate without that fuse installed. Be sure that both the connectors were firmly pushed together until they clicked, or the connection might not have been made. If all this checks out, you could be missing a fuse or relay that would activate the tow package. There is a 30 amp fuse in the main fuse box in the engine compartment for the trailering...

• Trailer Turn Signals Work Intermittently with Trailer Connected to a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
• First, each trailer light should have its own ground. Trailer lights normally ground through the mounting studs unless there is an obvious ground wire. In either case the grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. Anything between the ground connection and the light, like a plastic license plate holder for example, will cause a bad ground. On aluminum trailers, if the ground is not sufficient then you would need to attach the light grounds to the main trailer...

• Troubleshooting No Trailer Brakes with Curt Wiring Installed on a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
• The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C56332 you installed on the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe has the brake light coming into the module as it's own circuit and then it combines it with the turn signals to output to the trailer. Since you aren't seeing brakes on the vehicle connector side it leads me to believe there is a bad fuse that carries the brake signal on the Santa Fe back to the trailer plug. The trailer plug wiring will be on different circuits than...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Lights Staying On After 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is Turned Off
• The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56332 receives the signals for lighting from the vehicle and sends power to the lights from the battery via the converter. Your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe does have a welcome/surround light feature that will continue to keep some of your lights on when you either unlock your vehicle or switch off your vehicle. Typically this will have a time delay and will turn your lights off after that time has elapsed. If your trailer lights are on when the...
