Expert Reply:
Your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe has the stop lights and turn signals carried on separate wires which would be considered a 3 wire setup. A wire for running light, turn signal, and stop light. If the universal style trailer wiring kit you have requires you to ground the red wire if it's a 2 wire setup you would not follow that step. Most likely the red wire would then run to a stoplight circuit.
Best trailer wiring solution for your 2017 Santa Fe though is a custom fit install kit like the # C56184 which installs easily by just plugging inline with the taillight circuits and eliminates any guess work.
