Kia Sorento 2012 LX Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation

Question:

I ordered trailer light harness 118269 which did not match the connector in my Kia 2012 Sorento LX. I just find out another harness from your website 118258 has the same connector type as my Kia sorento 2012 LX after I compare the picture. Could you check the picture I took and let me know if 118258 is the right type? If so, could you help me to exchange it. If not could you help me to find the matched one? Please check the attached pictures and confirm that if you have the right one for it.

The Curt Wiring harness part # C56332 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit the 2012 Kia Sorento that have the factory tow package. If you attempted to install it and it did not function most likely that is due to your vehicle not having the tow package or that your vehicle has missing tow package fuses/relays. You can also check that you have a fuse installed in the fuse holder of the harness.

Otherwise, you would need to use the harness part # 118506. This harness will plug inline with your vehicle taillights and will work for your vehicle. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

The # 118258 that you also referenced is for a different year Sorento than what you have so I cannot recommend it for you.
