Helpful Expert Reply:
I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2016 Kia Sorento and if it's equipped with the tow package there should be a 30 amp fuse for the trailer wiring connector inside the under-hood fuse box. For its specific location you will want to check the diagram on the fuse box lid (under the lid).
If you find that the fuse isn't the issue please let me know a bit more detail on what is going on such as if all the lights aren't working or if it's just a certain circuit (turn signals, brake lights, running lights, etc) and we can continue to troubleshoot. I have also attached a wiring article that you might find helpful in the meantime.
