All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Hyundai Santa Fe (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Hyundai Santa Fe (factory tow package required; to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

Yes, the Curt 56346 is designed for the Hyundai Santa Fe. It is a custom wiring connector for SUVs, mini and full-sized vans in the S category. The connector plugs into the vehicle's existing taillight wiring connectors located under the vehicle behind the driver side rear bumper.
The Curt 56346 is a custom wiring connector that allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's electrical system. It provides signal circuits (3.0 amps per side) and tail/running circuits (6.0 amps total) to power trailer lights. The connector plugs directly into your vehicle's existing taillight wiring connectors without requiring permanent modifications.
No special tools are required. The installation uses only the components provided with the product: the custom wiring connector, a 10-amp fuse, an inline fuse holder, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing wires, and a 4-flat dust cover. You will need basic hand tools to access the vehicle's taillight connectors under the vehicle.
The vehicle's taillight wiring connectors that the Curt 56346 plugs into are located under the vehicle behind the driver side rear bumper. The custom wiring connector is then routed to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk when in use, or rolled up and stored inside the trunk when not in use.
The manual does not specify what, if anything, must be removed to access the taillight wiring connectors under the vehicle. You will need to locate the vehicle taillight wiring connectors under the vehicle behind the driver side rear bumper. Step 5 instructs you to reinstall all items removed during installation, but does not detail what those items are. Consult your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for specific guidance on accessing these connectors.
1. Locate the vehicle taillight wiring connectors under the vehicle behind the driver side rear bumper. 2. Remove the protective caps from the plug ends of the custom wiring connector. 3. Insert the custom wiring connector ends into the vehicle connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. 4. Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk when in use. 5. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
The Curt 56346 requires a 10-amp fuse, which is the maximum allowed. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp max fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Insert the provided 10-amp fuse into the inline fuse holder as part of the installation.
The Curt 56346 has two circuit ratings: Signal Circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and Tail/Running Circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these product ratings or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Mount the black converter box on a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Use the provided double-sided tape to adhere it. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating and potential fire. The manual does not specify the exact mounting location on the vehicle.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out of the way location inside the trunk. This protects the connector from damage and keeps it organized when you are not towing a trailer.
Test for proper function by using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer and checking that all lights function correctly. All installation steps must be followed to ensure the wiring connector will function properly. If the connector does not function, verify that the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place, and that the 10-amp fuse is properly installed in the inline fuse holder.
The Curt 56346 includes: a custom wiring connector with protective caps, a 10-amp fuse, an inline fuse holder, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Yes. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. This is done as part of Step 5 after all other installation steps are complete.
Do not exceed the product rating: Signal Circuits are 3.0 amps per side and Tail/Running Circuits are 6.0 amps total. You must also not exceed your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
