If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Hyundai Santa Fe SUV, Hyundai Elantra Touring and Kia Rio5 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, part number 55310 is designed for both Hyundai Santa Fe and Hyundai Elantra. However, the installation procedure differs slightly between the two models. Santa Fe owners remove the rear cargo shade, threshold plate, storage covers and floor covering, then partially remove rear interior trim panels. Elantra owners remove rear storage compartments via four Phillips head screws on each side, the foam spare tire cover, and the rear threshold before removing felt trim panels.
For a Santa Fe, open the rear hatch and temporarily remove: the rear cargo shade, threshold plate, storage covers, and floor covering. Then partially remove the rear interior trim panels on both driver and passenger sides by removing the tie-down loop and several trim panel fasteners. Pull back the trim panels to reveal the vehicle's tow harness.
For an Elantra, open the rear hatch and remove the rear storage compartments by removing four Phillips head screws on each side. Also remove the foam spare tire cover. Remove the rear threshold by removing the trim fasteners on each side, then remove the trim fasteners holding the felt trim panels in place. Pull back the trim panels to reveal the vehicle's tow harness.
Disconnect the vehicle's wiring harness connectors on the driver's side, being careful not to break the locking tabs. Plug the T-connector with the yellow wire in between the two separate halves of the vehicle's harness. This allows the factory harness to pass through the T-connector while adding the new wiring.
The T-connector has a yellow wire that connects to the driver's side harness and a green wire that connects to the passenger's side harness. The yellow wire stays at the driver's side connection point, while the green wire end of the T-connector is routed to the passenger's side behind the panels and along the threshold for the passenger-side ground connection.
Drilling may be required. The manual instructs you to locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud. If no existing ground stud is available, you will need to drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white wire with an eyelet using the screw provided. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under surfaces are not in the way to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury.
If a suitable existing ground stud is not available, drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white wire with an eyelet using the screw provided.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud. Secure the white wire with an eyelet using the screw provided. If no existing ground stud is available, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire there. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Repeat this process for the passenger's side using the T-connector end with the green wire.
Route the T-connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side behind the panels and along the threshold. Mount the black box converter out of the way using the double-sided tape or cable tie provided, and secure all loose wires with cable ties. Route the 4-flat under the driver's side trim panel into the floor storage compartment and store it there when not in use.
Route the 4-flat under the driver's side trim panel into the floor storage compartment and store it there when not in use. Note: It may be necessary to cut a slit or notch in the storage tray to allow the 4-flat to fit in the compartment.
The 55310 includes double-sided tape or cable ties to mount the black box converter, a screw for securing the white wire eyelet to the grounding point, and cable ties to secure all loose wires.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surfaces are not in the way. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. This precaution is necessary to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury.

It may be necessary to cut a slit or notch in the storage tray to allow the 4-flat connector to fit in the floor storage compartment where it is stored when not in use. Whether cutting is required depends on the fit of the 4-flat in your specific vehicle's storage compartment.
The 55310 fits Hyundai Santa Fe and Hyundai Elantra. Installation procedures differ between the two models.
Drilling may be required if no existing ground stud is available. You may need to drill a 3/32" hole for the white wire grounding point. You may also need to cut a slit or notch in the storage tray for the 4-flat connector.
The 55310 T-connector plugs between the vehicle's factory wiring harness halves on the driver's side (yellow wire) and passenger's side (green wire). White wires ground to existing ground studs or drilled holes on both sides.
Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under the surfaces where you plan to drill. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
