Best 2016 Kia Soul Trailer Wiring Options- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at the best wiring options for your 2016 Kia Soul. Here we have the Tekonsha T-One vehicle wiring harness, and over here we have the CURT vehicle wiring harness. Now both of our kits are going to give us a four-pole flat to hook up to our trailer and give us all the required lights, such as our turn signals, stop lights, and clearance lights. Now both of them are going to stay on the outside of the vehicle until we're ready to use them. Let's take a closer look at some of the differences. Now one of the biggest differences, although it may be small, is the dust covers. Our CURT is going to have a removable and replaceable dust cover, whereas our Tekonsha is going to be built in. Now the way these are both going to be installed is we're going to have a t-connector that's going to go in between our taillights and our wiring from our vehicle. Now one benefit that CURT does have as far as installation goes is that the wires are going to be somewhat smaller at the connection points compared to the Tekonsha here, so it will be a little bit easier to get the wires in place behind our taillights. Now both our kits are going to have converter boxes so that we know that our trailer's going to get the right signal. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2016 Kia Soul- Video
Today on our 2016 KIA Soul we're going to be taking a look at, and installing, the Curt T connector wiring harness with four pull flat trailer connector, part number C56222. Here's what it looks like once it's installed on the vehicle. As you can see, on this one we've got it mounted to a four pull bracket and a universal long bracket here just to help make it easy to access when necessary. What this does is allows you to have a location to plug your four fold trailer wiring into so that you can operate the lights on your trailer. It features a module box which helps to ensure that there's no electrical back feed into the vehicles electrical system to help protect the vehicle. Something that's nice about this wiring harness is that it doesn't have a power wire that you have to route all the way to the front and up to the battery as with some of these other trailer wiring harnesses. An issue that some people have run into when installing this wiring harness is having enough green wire to go from the drivers side tail light across to the passenger side tail light, but within the install video to follow we'll show you how we routed it in order to not have to add any wire. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2016 Kia Soul 118637- Video
Today on our 2016 KIA Soul, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the T-one vehicle wiring harness with 4-pole flat trailer connector, part number 118637. Here's what it looks like once it's installed on the vehicle. As you can see there is very little showing, you've just got your 4 pole wiring right here where it's connected. It's the only thing that you are able to see. This kit allows you to gain access from the wiring in the vehicle to give you your lights needed here for 4-pole wiring. Here we got everything that is going to come with our kit. We've got a modulite box right here and what that's going to do is help to make sure the load on the vehicles electrical system is not too heavy and also it's going to help protect the vehicles electrical system in case there is any back feeding in the electrical from the trailer. Here coming off of this we got our 4-pole wiring, we've got our connectors that are going to go to each tail light. We got a ground wire and we've also got our power wire that's going to connect to this black wire here and run up to the battery. more
