  • Right Turn Signal Only Works when Brakes Applied on Trailer Towed by 2010 Hyundai Tucson
  • This sounds like a ground issue since it is just the turn signal on the right side.. What you will want to do is make sure that the main trailer connector ground and the light grounds are all attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. Also make sure the trailer and vehicle side connectors are clean and that the trailer wiring converter on the vehicle, unless it was a factory harness, is properly grounded to bare metal.

  • Trailer Turn Signals Do Not Work With Brake or Running Lights On a 2012 Hyundai Tucson
  • This sounds like a bad ground connection on the trailer since 2 separate harnesses yielded the same results. To make sure it is the trailer and not the wiring harness you can test the installation using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if you need one. Unhook the trailer and use the circuit tester to test the 4-Way end of the harness while someone sits in the vehicle and goes through the various functions. Be sure to test the turn signals with the brakes applied and/or the running lights...

  • Tail Light Converter on 2008 Hyundai Tucson Keeps Shorting Out
  • If you have a harness that is currently acting up, you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and do some troubleshooting on it. You can activate the right turn signal, then use the tester to check the green wire on the input side of the converter box to ensure that the signal is reaching the box. Then, test the green wire on the output side to make sure the signal is leaving the box. Repeat the same test with the yellow left turn and brown running light wire, checking both the input...

  • 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...

  • Troubleshooting Inconsistent Trailer Stop/Turn Lights with Curt Wiring on a 2013 Hyundai Accent
  • Thank you for all of the details about troubleshooting the Curt T-Connector # C56254 on your 2013 Hyundai Accent. Since you said the ground is secured to a clean, bare-metal surface and all of your other wiring looks to be in order it is very possible that the issue is actually on your trailer, but I recommend using a circuit tester # PTW2979 to see whether the power is getting to your 4-Way connector or not. If the tester works fine then the problem is on your trailer, but if it isn't...

  • 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 No Power for Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • The easiest way that would prevent your Curt harness part # C56332 from getting power would be if you didn't install the red fuse in the red fuse holder of the harness. You might also check under the hood for any trailer wiring fuses that could be blown and fix as needed. I also attached an install video that shows this harness being installed on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe similar to yours.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Connector on 2016 Hyundai Tucson Not Sending Power
  • It sounds like there is a problem with the OEM wiring on your 2016 Hyundai Tucson. You can try following the wiring that is giving you issues to see if there is damage and check your fuses. If you have a lot of lights on your trailer you may be overloading the circuit which is causing a fuse to blow. If the fuses and wiring looks good then I recommend installing the Tekonsha T-One # 118501 so that you bypass the OEM wiring. This plugs in behind your tail lights and then draws power directly...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring for 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Not Functioning
  • In the engine compartment fuse box of your 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe there is a 30 amp fuse labelled Trailer 3 that you should check. It's possible something got shorted when installing the # CU94FR or the fuse was missing.

  • Muffler Rattle with # C11303 on 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe
  • We have had some reports of this happening with other model years of the Elantra, so it's not uncommon. The good news is that there are some potential fixes for this. You can first start by taking vice grips and trying to bend the hanger to try to create more clearance between the muffler and hitch. If this hanger is bolted to the frame, you can unbolt it, and re-position the hanger so it moves the exhaust away from the hitch. The last fix would be to replace the rubber isolator that serves...

  • Problem with Muffler Clearance After Installing Curt Hitch Receiver # C11303 on 2013 Hyundai Elantra
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and although he has not had any reports of issues with muffler clearance, if you begin to experience noise after installing the Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11303, he recommends using an insulated type of exhaust wrap to stop any metal to metal contact between the hitch and the muffler. I have attached an article and two videos for you.

  • Troubleshooting 2017 Hyundai Tucson Running Lights Flicker After Adding LED Bumper Lights
  • For your application I'd put a load resistor on the LED light you installed since that is what seems to have caused the issue. When you add LED lights to a system that wasn't built for them it tends to do weird things. If you install the Load Resistor Kit # DI34ZR on the light fixture you just installed then this should fix the issue.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Malfunction of Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harness # 118501 in 2011 Hyundai Tucson
  • Thank you for your recent purchase from etrailer. Many times, issues related to wiring harness installation can be traced to a weak ground, so you can make sure the white ground wire is secured to a clean bare metal surface. But in your case, it does sound like the converter box may be damaged. Certain faults in trailer wiring could damage a converter. If this is what happened in your case, it could result in leakage from the output side of the converter back to the input side where the...

  • Troubleshooting Wiring For 6-Way Connector On RV
  • We do not have a wiring diagram per se for a particular plug, but I am attaching a diagram of two "standard" plug configurations. The key is to make sure to connect function to function which may or may not be the same color. You can use a circuit tester like Item # PTW2993 to test and match the functions on the 6-Way connection. If still having challenges, check the connectors for any damage, debris, or corrosion. Next, make sure grounds firmly connected to clean, metal surface....

  • 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...

  • Troubleshooting A Furrion RV Camera System That Randomly Looses Signal
  • If slamming the door on your vehicle caused the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision - Rear Mount # FOS43TASF to regain signal and work then it would lead me to believe the issue is with your monitor/power cord. Assuming that the vibration from slamming the door got it to work again it's plausible that a bump in the road caused it to lose the connection in the first place. Check the connection to the monitor and make sure that the power cord is fully inserted...

  • Troubleshooting Suspension Noise After Air Bag Installation In Coil
  • Typically the noise you hear after installing coil springs like the # F4170 is from the metal coils of your suspension rubbing something as the suspension moves. I had this happen on my car once when I installed air springs in it and the problem was that the rubber isolator at the top of the spring was positioned in such a way that it was allowing the metal coil of the spring to touch the frame of the vehicle. When the suspension moved noise was created. I had to go back and reposition...

  • 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...
