2010 Kia Questions and Answers

• Coiled 7-Way to 4-Way Recommendation for Towed Vehicle
  
• Yes, we have the Wesbar # 787196 which is an 8 foot long 7-way to 5-way. I know you need a 4-way but this will work well as the fifth circuit would just not be used.

• Why 2010 Kia Sedona EX, LX and Base Models Use Different Hitches
  
• By 6 bolt rear, I am assuming you are speaking of the number of attachment points for the hitch. The exhaust configuration is different on the Base model versus the EX or the LX model, so the hitches are designed differently to fit around the exhaust. The base Sedona model will use 7 bolts to attach the hitch to the vehicle, 3 on the drivers side and 4 on the passenger side. For the base model, use the Draw-Tite # 75551 or the Curt # 13349. I would recommend either the Draw-Tite, as...

• Brake Controller And Brakes Recommendations For 2010 Kia Sedona And Trailer
  
• Thank you for the spec sheet on the axle you have on your trailer. I spoke with my contact at Dexter and they told me that you do not need to replace your axle, you can just upgrade the one you have. They told me that you have the brake mounting flange mounted on your axle so what you will want to do is add a new hub and drum, the brakes, and wiring for your trailer, and you should be good to go. The hub and drum I recommend is the etrailer.com Trailer Hub Assembly, part # AKHD-545-35-G-K....

• Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2010 Kia Sedona Base Model
  
• The correct hitch for your 2010 Kia Sedona base model (not the LX or EX versions) is the Draw-Tite 2-inch model # 75551. This hitch offers no-drill installation using included mounting hardware. The written instructions are linked for you along with a helpful article with tips for an easier installation.

• Is it Safe to Use a Trailer Hitch Adapter # HTAD on a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2010 Kia Soul
  
• It really depends on what you want to use the hitch for if you need an adapter. The trouble is that using an adapter like # HTAD or another adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. The hitches for your 2010 Kia Soul are all class I hitches with a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. Using an adapter will cut that down to 100 pounds. If you are wanting to use a bike rack or cargo carrier, you will be limited to carrying just 2 bikes and the combined...

• Will Installing a Trailer Hitch and Wiring Void the Warranty on a 2010 Kia Forte
  
• Installing a trailer hitch will not void the warranty on your 2010 Kia Forte. There is a federal law that states in part that unless the installed item is directly responsible for a failure then the warranty cannot be voided. With that said, the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 11019, is specifically designed for the Koup model Kia Forte. I have included a link to the installation instructions below. This hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and clip. All you would need for towing is a ball,...

• Can a 2010 Kia Soul with Manual Transmission be Towed Behind a Motor Home
  
• I did some research on your 2010 Kia Soul with the manual transmission and found that it can be flat towed. Models with automatic transmissions cannot be flat towed and must be towed with a tow dolly like part # RM-2000-1. I recommend checking the towing section of your owners manual for any other procedures or limitations that Kia may have to flat tow your vehicle. The Delta Force, # SM99242, the Demco Base Plate Kit, # DM9518246, and the Commander Tow Bar, # DM9511010, are all compatible...

• Can Roof-Mount Bike Racks Attach to Rooftop Cargo Basket on 2010 Kia Soul with Thule Rack Installed
  
• As a starting point I suggest a check of your Soul's owner's manual to verify the vehicle's roof weight bearing capacity. There should be a maximum rooftop cargo weight figure in your manual or at the very least available from your local Kia dealership. I suggest this since you are considering a combination of rooftop cargo items that could present a significant load on the vehicle. A roof rack like the Thule square bar system for your Soul, part # TH45050, does not weigh too much on...

• Will Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24846 Fit a 2010 Kia Forte 2-Door Koup
  
• The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24846 is specified only for the 4-door sedan version of the 2010 Kia Forte. The 2-door model, generally referred to as the Koup, can be fitted with a 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch from Curt Manufacturing. The part is # C11019. This bolt-on hitch installs with included hardware and requires no welding or drilling, but the exhaust must be temporarily lowered for installation. The Curt hitch comes with a hitch pin and clip with which you can secure a bike rack...

• The Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX2 # SA4025F will work for bikes with up to a 4-1/2 inch wide tire. If you have tires over 4-1/2 inches then you will also need the Fat Tire Adapter Kit for Saris Freedom Bike Racks # SA4419 compatible with tires up to 5 inches wide. Standard tires will fit fine in either holder. Another option is the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack for Fat Bikes # SA4412B-FB which can accept bikes with tires up to 5 inches wide. Either of these options will support...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring on 2010 Kia Soul that Won't Activate Tailights but Truck 4-Way Does
  
• One of two things are happening. Either the trailer is drawing too much amperage for the trailer wiring harness or there is a weak ground on the lights of the trailer which is causing the lights to not operate unless a more powerful wiring harness is attached. Check the grounds for the trailer to make sure they are attached a clean metal surface. Also check condition of main ground of trailer. Instead of going to the powered harness you could swap the lights on the trailer to LED...

• Installing Firestone Coil Rite Air Helper Springs # F4138 on 2010 Kia Sedona
  
• The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F4138 will install so that they sit inside the coil springs of your suspension on your Sedona. To install the springs, the lower control arm will be unbolted from the knuckle, allowing it to drop free and the coil spring to be removed so that the air spring can be inserted. You can see the full installation instructions by clicking on the link I provided. When installing the springs, cutting the air line perfectly square is crucial...

• Installing a Brake Controller, 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connector on a 2010 Kia Soul
  
• If the trailer you plan to tow with your 2010 Kia Soul has a 7-Way connector then it probably has electric brakes or needs 12 volt power for trailer accessories. If it has electric brakes, that would mean you would need a brake controller to utilize all the functions of the 7-Way. To install a 7-Way on the Soul, you would first need to install a 4-Way. The 4-Way for your Soul is the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118431. I have included a link to a video installation and instructions...

• Recommended Hitch For 2010 Kia Soul Towing an Aluminum Boat
  
• The hitches that are available for your 2010 Kia Soul are all Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches with a 200-lb tongue weight capacity and a 2,000-lb towing weight capacity. You will want to check your owners manual or with the Kia dealer for the towing capacity of your Kia Soul. If it is lower than the 2,000-lb capacity of the hitch you will need to go by that lower number as the maximum weight capacity you can tow. You will want your aluminum boat and trailer, loaded with your cargo, to...

• Cargo Carrier Fit for a 2010 Kia Soul
  
• In order to determine if this Curt 20x48 Cargo Carrier, part # C18145, will work on your Kia Soul with the Curt Hitch, part # 11110, you will have to take one measurement. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin on the # 11110 to the furthest point out on your bumper. If this measurement is less than 6 inches you should be able to use the # C18145 as it measures 6 inches from the center of its hitch pin to the basket of the cargo carrier. I have linked an FAQ on...

• Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for a 2010 Kia Soul
  
• For lighting confirmed to fit your 2010 Kia Soul you can use the diode kit, # RM-152, and not have to worry about scratching the paint of your vehicle or cutting into the taillight assemblies. You will also want the # BX88206 to connect this lighting solution to your tow vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV. I attached a help article on tow bar lighting for you to...

• What Hitch is Recommended for the 2010 Kia Soul to Tow a Boat Trailer
  
• The three 1-1/4-inch hitches we offer for the 2010 Kia Soul are all Class I-rated and have a tongue weight capacity of 200-lbs. These light-duty hitches are ideal for use with accessory items like bike carriers or for light towing. The link provided will take you to our product page for all three hitches. All require temporary lowering of the exhaust for installation. Your Soul owners manual will indicate if it is rated by the manufacturer for towing a trailer; if so the manual will...

• Vehicle Lights Stopped Working After Trailer Wiring Harness Install on 2010 Kia Sportage 4 Cylinder
  
• What I believe has happened is that the vehicle wiring has sensed an overload and the fuse for the lights has blown. Check your owners manual for the location of the fuses for the vehicle tail lights and replace any that are blown. Next, before you make any other connections, make sure to attach the white ground wire on the # 119178KIT harness to a bare metal surface. Once the ground is secured you can then make the other connections. Make sure the yellow wire attaches to left turn...

• Differences Between Hitch Classes with Regard to Choosing a Bike Rack
  
• Although both a Class I and Class II trailer hitch use a 1-1/4 inch receiver, the tongue weight capacity (the maximum amount of weight that can be safely suspended from the receiver) is different. A Class I receiver has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, while a Class II has up to a 350 lb capacity. Many racks that are compatible with a Class II receiver will not work on a Class I. Class I receivers typically have a stop welded or punched into it to prevent a Class II accessory from...

• Carrying Mobility Scooter with 2010 Kia Soul
  
• If you click the provided link, you can see the available hitches for a 2010 Kia Soul. As you can see, there are no Class II or III hitches available for the Soul as the rear structure of the vehicle cannot support the towing or tongue weight that a Class II or III hitch would be rated for. The weight of the scooter plus the weight of any carrier would far exceed the capacity of the hitch, and would cause the hitch and probably the vehicle to be damaged. For this reason, there are no...

• How Do I Tell if My Kia Sedona is Short Wheel Base or Long Wheel Base
  
• I did some research and the Sedona is Short Wheel Base -SWB. If it is a Sedona LX or a Sedona EX it is a Long Wheel Base-LWB. The best way to be sure is to measure. Measure from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel. If the measurement is 113.8 inches, it is SWB. If the measurement is 118.9 inches, it is LWB. The hitches for SWB models are the Curt hitch # 13349 and Draw-Tite # 75551. There are two hitches for the LWB, Draw-Tite # 75421 and Curt # C13345.

• Trailer Running Lights Only Working on Passenger Side with a Kia Soul
  
• First, I am showing wiring harness # 118431 for a 2010 Kia Soul, so hopefully that is the one you are using. This sounds like a ground problem on the trailer. The running light circuit is on a different wire than the stop and turn lights, so it makes sense that those are working correctly. On the trailer, take a look at the offending light. Trailer lights usually ground through the mounting studs, unless there is an obvious ground wire. While back there, check that the bulb is intact. In...

• Can Bulb on Optronics 7-Function Light # ST7RB Be Replaced
  
• In order to tell you for sure if the light bulb can be replaced we will need to determine exactly which light that you have. You will want to look on the actual light housing for the manufacture name and model number. Trailer light lens can typically be used on multiple different light housings so with just the numbers from lens I can not be certain as to which light you have. If you do determine that you have the Optronics Submersible, Trailer Stop, Turn, Tail and License Plate Light,...

• Can Bike Rack be Used on Car Being Towed on Dolly
  
• Bike rack manufacturers rate their racks for use behind vehicles, motorhomes or trailers but not on cars that are being flat towed or on tow dollies. I would avoid putting a bike rack on a car that is being hauled on a dolly for many reasons, from issues with the amount of vibration and movement to stability of the rack itself on a car that is not totally level. I cannot comment on legality but I can tell you that it is something that is not a good idea. A much better option is to use...

• Can 2010 Kia Forte SX be Flat Towed with a Tow Dolly

I checked an online manual for your vehicle and it says that tow dolly towing your vehicle is just fine. You would want to put the vehicle in park with the steering wheel straight forward and you would be fine. For a tow dolly we have the part # RM-2050-1 from Roadmaster.
