Sounds like you are installing trailer wiring like the Curt kit part # C56184 on your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe sport which requires a power wire to run up to the vehicle's battery. If you check around the 11 minute mark of the install video I attached below for this kit you'll see our installer running this power wire which you can use as a guide.

In general you want to route the wire away from any hot exhaust components or moving parts like suspension that would damage the wiring.
