Comparison of Trailer Wiring Harnesses # 118415 and # 118258 for a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe
Question:
Im looking at your wiring harness for 2009 hyundai santa fe, # 118415 and 118258, it seems that the 118258 is much simpler to install, everything done from underneath and not requiring removing interior panels,etc. why would I order 118258 if its a harder install? Also the placement of the blk box on the 118258 is underneath, will it be safe from the elements there

Expert Reply:
My preference between the two wiring harnesses for the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe would definitely be to go with the Tow Ready # 118258, if the vehicle has a factory towing package. The other wiring harness, part # 118415, is for models that do not have the tow package.
The Tow Ready wiring harness keeps as much of the harness and connections inside the vehicle as possible, keeping the 4-Way trailer connector and wiring safe and dry when not in use.
You can view the installation instructions for the two wiring applications at the links below.
