  • What Stops Curt Echo Brake Controller From Falling Out of 7-Way
  • That's a really good question, but the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 will absolutely not fall out of the 7-way on your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. There are a couple of reasons for this, starting with the fact that the connection between the controller and 7-way is really tight; you have to give it a good push to make sure it's all the way in the connector. The other reason has to do with the tab on top of the Echo; part of the tab is silicone-coated to absorb vibration...

  • How to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • You will need a few different items to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe because Hyundai did not offer a factory connection for a 7-way trailer connector, only for a 4-way. If your Santa Fe was pre-wired for the factory tow package, then the first item that you will want is the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness, # C56332. This will add a 4-way flat trailer connector. I have attached an installation video for you to check out. Next, you will need our Universal...

  • Correct Engine Block Heater Location for 2011 Hyundai Genesis with 3.8L V6 Engine
  • I checked with the manufacturer, Kat's, about the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11812 which is a fit for a 2011 Hyundai Genesis with 3.8L V6 Engine. The correct location is on the right rear "RR" side of the engine as seen in the attached photo. Unfortunately, Kat's does not provide exact step by step instructions for installation. It's possibly removal of existing component is required for installation but that will be up to the discretion of the installer.

  • Installation of Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness 118258 On a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • I have attached an installation video of the # 118258 wiring harness on a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe for you. The installation is pretty straight forward once you have gained access to the factory connectors. To do this, you are going to start by lowering the spare tire, and then you would open up the cargo area and remove the access panels, threshold trim, trunk floor panels and trays. Proceed by removing the trim panel on the driver side, but make sure you remove the fastener on the driver...

  • The 4-Pole Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # C59496 comes with a basic circuit tester that has an alligator clip on one end that connects to a ground like the metal frame on your vehicle.

  • Where is The Connector For Installing a Trailer Brake Controller Located On a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe?
  • The location of the connector for connecting the Curt Wiring Adapter # C77BR on your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is under the dash to the left of the steering column. The 4-pin connector is cream colored and should be exposed. Be sure to look and feel around the wiring harness as the connector could be on top of the wiring where it is difficult to see. I recommend using the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 as it will allow you to locate the control knob where it is most convenient.

  • Finding Reverse Light Circuit on 2011 Honda CR-V to Install Back-Up Camera
  • The reverse lamps for a 2011 CR-V are in the taillight assemblies, not on the liftgate. You can access the wiring harnesses that feed the taillight assemblies by removing the interior panel on either side of the cargo area. Use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to probe the wires in the harness, as a helper puts the car in reverse with the engine off. The correct circuit should be hot, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding the correct wire. I don't have any specific information on...

  • Recommended Wire Gauge And Fuse For Installing The Multi Device RV Charging Station # 37215095
  • An inline fuse would be needed to install the Multi Device RV Charging Station # 37215095. If you use 14 gauge wire then you can use a 10 amp fuse and if you use 12 gauge wire you can use a 20 amp fuse. Personally, I would use 12 gauge wire and a 20 amp fuse to protect the wiring and outlet.

  • How to Trim Underbody Panel When Installing Curt Hitch on 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5
  • When finishing up the installation of your # C98DR you will completely remove the outlined section of the underbody panel. This will leave you with two separate panels to go on either side of the receiver. Make sure you measure 1-1/2" in from each of the mounting holes so you are still able to reattach the panels after trimming.
