  • Where to Install the Kats Engine Block Heater on a 2012 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L V6
  • The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11812 for your 2012 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L V6 will install on the right hand (Passengers) side of the engine in the rear most (Closest To Firewall) plug. Don't forget to use the Kat's Heaters Plug Cover part # KH28405 to prevent dirt and debris from getting inside the connector while not in use. I have attached an illustration to give you a better idea where the right rear plug is located.

  • Does Installation of etrailer Hitch on 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Require Trimming and Lowering Exhaust
  • Looking at the installation instructions, as well as the video, trimming will not be required for the installation of the # e28AR. It appears as though the removal of panels only applies to the Kia Sorento, not your 2023 Santa Fe. However, you will have to lower the exhaust to be able to access the weld nuts. I have attached the installation video below, along with the written instructions for your reference.

  • Best Location for Trailer Connector Bracket on 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • The plate you see on the hitch (see photo) provides a mounting point for the trailer connector bracket. For a 4-pole connector, you would use # 18144. For a 5-pole, use # TR20046 and for a 6 or 7-way connector, use part # 18138. Hardware is included with the brackets. If you do not want to locate the connector at this location you may be able to remove a grommet in the spare tire compartment in the cargo area of your Santa Fe and locate it there.

  • You may be able to use a wiring harness like the Draw-Tite T-One Wiring Harness, # 118258, on your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, however, you will first want to determine if your vehicle was equipped with a tow package. If your Santa Fe was not equipped with a tow package, then the connectors under your vehicle may not be hot.

  • Is Wire Needed for Brake Controller Wiring Kit # ETBC7L on 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate
  • For your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56332 is a very easy installation. The plug location is under the vehicle on the driver's side and requires no running of additional wire to power your 4-way. That does change when you add the 7-Way and brake controller as you will need to run at least the 12V power wire (the brake controller output blue wire does not get connected and the yellow...

  • Will Saris Bones Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • Great question! The Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL has been confirmed by Saris to fit your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. The only note they have about the installation though is to make sure the lower feet are placed into the license plate well as opposed to on your bumper. With that being said, trunk mount bike racks can damage spoilers if they are loaded to their max and/or used a lot. Since these types of racks are also touching the paint on the body of your vehicle I tend to lean towards...

  • How Many Backing Plates Should I Use to Install E-Track on Aluminum Motorcycle Trailer
  • I typically recommend using the etrailer E-Track Backing Plate w/ Hardware - Galvanized Steel - 6" Long x 6" Wide - Qty 1 # e89RR on each end of your E-Track sections # E19148 and one in the middle for added support. With one backing plate on each end and one in the middle it will give you plenty of support to secure your motorcycle. Since this is an aluminum trailer, you'll want to use a coat of paint or some other insulating material to prevent galvanic corrosion that might occur with...

  • How Do I Tell if My Hyundai Santa Fe Has a Tow Package?
  • A tow package for your 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe could be a frame mounted trailer hitch and trailer wiring harness. If you have either or both of those two things you could pretty easily assume you have the tow package. Another option you have is to take the VIN of your vehicle to a Hyundai dealer and they will be able to tell you. If you end up having the tow package but do not have a hitch the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75471 that you looked at would be a great option....

  • Using the Moon Roof on a Limited Edition 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe with a Roof Rack or Roof Box
  • Any roof rack will impact the performance and usability of a sun or moon roof. Using a roof box like the Malone 18B Profile, part # MPG911 will create more difficulties because of its clamps. I don't recommend using the sun roof or moon roof with a roof rack or roof box equipped.

  • The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller, # RED24FR installed using the Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers, # RED69FR will draw its power from from the black wire on your 7-way RV plug and directly to the negative terminal of your vehicles start battery.

  • 2009 Santa Fe Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Recommendation
  • Your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe is not pre-wired for a 7-Way or 6-Way connector so you will need to do a bit more wiring to install a brake controller on your vehicle. Depending on the connector on your trailer you can use either the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, item # ETBC7, or the Brake Controller 6 and 4 Way Installation Kit, item # ETBC6, to wire your vehicle for an electric brake controller and 12 volt power, to provide accessory power to the trailer. All of the hardware...

  • Is Drilling Required to Install Curt Trailer Hitch # C11254 on a 2012 Hyundai Veloster
  • To install the Curt trailer hitch # C11254, on your 2012 Hyundai Veloster, there is some drilling involved but only to enlarge existing holes on the frame where the hitch will bolt into place. Take a look at the instructions I have linked for you. This is a Class I hitch and it has a gross trailer weight of 1,000 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 100 pounds. Consult your vehicle owners manual to determine if you can tow anything with the hitch. It comes with a ball mount, hitch pin...

  • Correct Engine Block Heater Location for 2011 Hyundai Genesis with 3.8L V6 Engine
  • I checked with the manufacturer, Kat's, about the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11812 which is a fit for a 2011 Hyundai Genesis with 3.8L V6 Engine. The correct location is on the right rear "RR" side of the engine as seen in the attached photo. Unfortunately, Kat's does not provide exact step by step instructions for installation. It's possibly removal of existing component is required for installation but that will be up to the discretion of the installer.

  • Does Removing Portion of Heat Shield To Install Trailer Hitch on 2016 Hyundai Sonata Harm Vehicle
  • Actually, removing the heat shield when installing the Draw-Tite # 24965 receiver hitch on your 2016 Hyundai Sonata isn't a problem because the hitch itself provides more heat protection than the flimsy sheet metal that the heat shield is constructed of. Removing a portion of or even all the heat shield is a pretty common occurrence when installing a trailer hitch. I've linked the installation video for reference. I've linked the installation video for the # 24965 for your convenience.

  • Can the Draw-Tite Wiring Harness # 118258 be Installed Outside of a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • You are correct, the purpose of pulling the wires into the vehicle is to protect the converter box from the outside elements, but also to protect the T-connection points between the wiring harness and the vehicle connectors and to protect the in-line fuse on the wiring harness. I would recommend against leaving the entire wiring harness outside of the vehicle because of the many different parts that need to be protected from the outside elements and if any moisture enters the converter...

  • Depending on the amount of space between the two MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote - Powered Lift - 10 Speed - Smoke # MA00-07500K you could potentially have both fans react to the remote. The remote sends out an infrared signal to the sensor in the fan, just like how your tv remote sends a signal to your tv. The only way to prevent both fans from reacting would to have the spaced away from each other and using the remote close to the specific fan you're trying...
