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...
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...
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...
In order to install the Timbren rear suspension enhancement system # TDVR05096, the first thing you will need to do is lower the rear control arm.
In order to lower the rear control arm to remove the coil spring, remove the inner control arm bolt by loosening the outer bolt and allow a jack to slowly lower the control arm to release tension on the spring. See the diagram I included.
Another way to lower the control arm is to remove the wheel, and the outer control arm bolt from the... view full answer...
After installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13345 on your 2010 Kia Sedona you will have about 9 inches of clearance from the ground. The reason for that is, it measures 11 inches from the TOP of the receiver tube to the ground (as you can see in the accompanying photo), and the receiver on this hitch is 2 inches, leaving you with 9 inches of clearance.
This is a Class III hitch that is a complete bolt-on installation so no drilling is required into your Sedona's frame, which is not only... 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...
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...
To install the Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90195, on your 2009 Kia Sedona, there are a couple of wiring harnesses you will need. First, if the vehicle does not already have a 4-Way flat trailer connector, you will need to install Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118410. I have included a link to the installation details and a video showing a typical installation for reference.
With the 4-Way installed you would then need a 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. This... view full answer...
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.

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...
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...
The hitches we offer for your 2008 Kia Sedona like the # C13345 were designed to be bolted on but there's no reason you couldn't weld them to the bottom of the vehicle frame if that's your preference. view full answer...
The yellow wire coming from the back of the 7-way connector on the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector part # 30717 is an auxiliary wire used for reverse lights or a reverse lockout. Therefore, no the yellow wire will not need to be attached in order for the trailer's tail lights to work. 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...
The Rightline Gear Ace 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100A20 that you referenced actually comes with straps that were designed to secure the bag to raised roof side rails. You would not need to provide additional straps to secure the bag to the side rails of your 2017 Kia Sedona. I attached a picture that shows it attached to raised rails for you to check out as well.
I also attached a review video link for this for you to check out as well. 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...
Corrosion and road grime can get inside of vehicle weld nuts on any vehicle that has seen at least one winter. This is most likely the case you are facing. There is a solution. You will need to lean out the weld nuts using a spray lubricant and a wire brush like # DW00254.
I have included links to a video and FAQ article that will show you how to clean out the weld nuts for hitch installation. 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...
You do not remove the wires off of the brake switch to install a brake controller. You will use a quick splice connector, included with the # ETBC7 kit. A quick splice work by placing the signal wire (in this case the proper brake switch wire) in one track inside the quick splice and then the wire you are splicing into (in this case the red brake controller wire) in the other track. Then you crimp it down with pliers to complete the connection.

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...
