Replying to: robertwillis (Apr 08, 2008 4:55 pm) The harness is installed inside the vehicle and requires that I hang the trailer connector out of the tailgate." Your dealer gave you the wrong harness. The one you got plugs into the taillight wiring, which leaves the harness in the cargo area. The newer one became available in May of 2007, but a lot of dealers apparently still have the old one in stock, or don't know about the new one. The new one plugs into the prewiring pigtails that are mounted to the inside of the body just behind the driver's side rear wheel. The harness stays outside the vehicle, and the 4-pin flat trailer connector attaches to a bracket on the hitch.

| Hello. I'm a newbie here on the forum. I have a new '08 Santa Fe 3.3L GL (Canadian model) and would like to buy a hitch for it. If I look on etrailer.com they have 4 different types for the 2007 but only 2 come up for 2008. I thought the body frame is identical on the 07 & 08, will the Hidden Hitch or Drawtite not fit on my '08? Mostly concerned about the look, want it to be hidden as much as possible. Planning on mounting a bike rack, an upright snowboard carrier (if I can find one!) and possibly an enclosed cargo carrier or 2-wheeled flat bed (for dirt, camping gear, etc.). Also, my model says it has a towing prep kit, does this mean it's pre-wired or do I still need to buy the harness from Hyundai? Thanks for any suggestions and info. | |
| Just got a new trailer harness and was wondering where is the best place to mount the black box that comes with the harness any ideas? | |

Is anyone having problems getting a hitch and harness installed by dealers on the 08 Santa Fe. My dealer service manger keeps telling me that since the recall on the harness, Hyundai has not been sending the replacement harness to its dealer's. I've been waiting six weeks. I would appreciate any feed back from other 08 owners if you are also having this kind of trouble. Thanks, rjr2565
