The hitch for the Sedona does use M12 x 1.25 bolts.
What you describe is a very common issue. Once a vehicle is more than a couple years old, road grime and corrosion can build up on the nuts welded into the frame which makes it difficult to get the mounting bolts for the # C13345 started, making you think you have the wrong installation hardware. This is especially common in the Midwest and North where ice melting chemicals are commonly used on roads in the winter.

I can help you identify this wire on your 2016 Kia Sedona, but we do not have specific information on the color of the wire. You will need to use a circuit tester like the # PTW2993. The cold side will be the wire that only has power when the brake pedal is pressed. This is where you will connect your red wire from your brake controller it uses the standard wire colors like the # RED52VR. view full answer...
Cargo mat # WT41645 for your 2007 Kia Sedona fits from behind the third row of seats back. WeatherTech does not provide measurements because the products are all custom fit and contoured specifically for the vehicles they were designed for.
The only other option is the same mat in gray, # WT42645, and it also fits from behind the third row back.
For this and any WeatherTech mat or liner I recommend cleaner and protector kit # WT8LTC36K to keep the mats clean restore them to like-new condition. view full answer...
The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F4138 will install so that they sit inside the coil springs of your suspension on your Sedona. To install the springs, the lower control arm will be unbolted from the knuckle, allowing it to drop free and the coil spring to be removed so that the air spring can be inserted.
You can see the full installation instructions by clicking on the link I provided.
When installing the springs, cutting the air line perfectly square is crucial for... view full answer...
Driving speed should be reduced whenever conditions require the use of snow chains: if road conditions justify snow chains, they also justify driving more slowly. Tire chains do in fact have speed limit ratings that must be observed to protect the chains themselves, your tires and rims, your vehicle and for your personal safety. These speed ratings may vary from one brand/type of chain to another, but generally the recommended driving speeds for tire chains range from 30 - 40 mph. No chain... view full answer...
The Curt Echo Brake Controller # C51180 referenced in your question does not need to be at any particular angle in relation to the ground for proper operation. The controller simply needs to be plugged into the 7-Way on the tow vehicle and it will work as it should.
When converting your 4-Way to a 7-Way with an adapter like the Curt # C57102 you will only need to run the 12V power wire up to the vehicle's battery like you mentioned. The brake output pin on the 7-Way does not need to be... view full answer...
Excellent questions. First, absolutely the ratcheting feature of the hooks on the Swagman XC bike rack # S64650 will stay firmly in place and not back out no matter how long or short the trip.
The 1-1/4 to 2 inch adapter included with the rack screws onto the bike rack shank so you won't have to worry about losing it or doing anything else with it really.
To lock the rack to the hitch you will not use a pad lock. Instead you will need the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin for Swagman... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase of the Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 as well as a hitch and other kits for your 2010 Kia Sedona.
You have discovered why we still sell circuit testers like # PTW2992 and why we include one in our brake controller installation kit # ETBC7: auto makers change wire colors without notice and so wire color in not always a reliable way to make connections.
The only sure way to know which wire is on the cold side of the brake light switch (this is the... view full answer...
When towing with the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 installed I do recommend having the app/software opened up on your phone during travel, however it is not required for proper operation. The ideal setup would be to have the phone mounted in a visible location such as using a dash-mounted bracket like # PC03. This is simply so that you can have access to the manual override button (the large orange circle on the app) if needed.

I would advise against using a thread tap to clean the weld nuts on your 2011 Kia Sedona. That should be a last resort because the possibility of a less than perfect tap is high. We recommend using a combination of spray lubricant, a wire brush, and elbow grease to clean corroded weld-nuts. We even have a help article and video on this subject which I have linked for you.
The bolts for hitch # C13345 are indeed M12 x 1.25. For a wire brush you can use # 814092. view full answer...
I have a relative video for you on installing a flush rail kit similar to the Edge kit for your 2016 Kia Sedona. We haven't made one specifically for your vehicle, but I've included an installation on a 2016 BMW X3 that uses a similar style of foot pack to install to the vehicle.
The bar will end up using the fit kit part # THKIT4057 to clamp onto the flush rails. the single screw will be used to connect the fit kit to the foot pack of the rail by turning the metal tube in the foot so... view full answer...
You are definitely on the right track. You will first want to install a wiring harness with a 4-way flat connector like the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118410, that you referenced. You could simply run lengths of wires from a vehicle side 7-way socket and wire the socket yourself, but that would involve splicing into your vehicles tail light wiring, which I would not recommend. That route would also be very time consuming and tedious.
Instead, after you install the plug-in style... view full answer...
On your 2017 Kia Sedona the easiest place to find the wire is the wire loom that goes from the hatch to the body of the vehicle. It can typically be found near the top. Once you find this you will need to pull out the wires and test them using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 until you find the circuit that is only active when in reverse.
Note the color of the wire and trace it to where it goes behind the panels of the vehicle. Then you can tap into it with the # C57187.

I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha regarding the brake switch wire on your 2011 Kia Sedona. While this is not very common, they have seen instances like yours where there appears to be two possible brake switch wires that will be used for a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885.
Typically, when this is the case, one of the wires will be the correct brake light/switch while the other is actually the cruise control circuit. The potential issue to connecting to the cruise... view full answer...
A long screw driver or pry bar should do that trick. I had a similar situation with my car and was able to pry the last bit of the spring off the perch by using a pry bar in one hand and a long slot screwdriver in the other. I pried up with the pry bar and then to the side with the screwdriver to help slide it off the perch. Be careful and take your time.
To get it back on you will just need to reverse the process. Leverage is your friend, use the pry bar to compress the spring and the... view full answer...
The black wire does indeed need to be connected to the positive battery terminal, through the supplied fuse holder.
The converter box receives the signals from the taillight circuits, but it gains the voltage necessary to illuminate the trailer lights from the black power wire. view full answer...
Installation of the Timbren springs, # TDVR05096, on a 2011 Kia Sedona is actually very straight-forward as you can see in the instructions I have linked. You may be able to perform this installation at home.
Otherwise any trusted mechanic or a place that deals in performance and aftermarket accessories could perform the installation. You can call around to see who can do it and for local labor costs. view full answer...
It is normal. The size difference between the 2 inch shank on an accessory and the 2 inch receiver on a hitch is done so that the accessory can be easily installed and removed without binding up. Curt bike rack # C18064 has a threaded hitch bolt that, when installed and snug, will take up some of that play.
You can eliminate even more movement by using a secondary anti-rattle device such as the Hitch Immobilizer # BX88224. This device is one of the most effective because it reduces movement... view full answer...
The issue you are describing is a pretty common one we see. The easy solution is to tap the threads with an M12 X 1.25 thread tap. This is the most efficient way to clean the weld nuts on your vehicle frame. view full answer...
