Does anyone out there have the colour codes for the wiring at the brake, running and turn lights in the trunk space.

I need to hard wire a harness and would like to check out the color coding of the wiring before starting out.

Better to use a tester (AutoZone has them) because the wiring guides are often wrong or difficult to interpret. Start with a turn signal and probe the wires in the trunk until you find the one that flashes your tester to the beat of the directional.

Fair warning: the Sonata uses something called "Negative Triggers" for all lighting. You won't be able to wire your trailer directly to the cable. You need an adapter (it's sometimes called a "diode bridge") between the wires in the trunk and the plug for your trailer. The shop where you bought your trailer hitch should be able to help.

I would assume by diode bridge, you mean the harness I got from my dealer. It takes the 3 circuit system in the Sonata (Brake, Turn, Running) and creates a two circuit (Brake/Stop & Running) system. I finally came to the conclusion that I would have to trace all the wiring manually and this is the week-end to get at it.

Thanks for the info.

Yes. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask if you have questions.

I'm surprised no one mentioned hmaservice.com (Hyundai Motor America service information dot com) for your wiring question. This is a completely free information service offered by Hyundai, but few seem to take advantage...

I checked this source and they do not have colour coding information - lots of good stuff but not this. Some earlier mentioned it could be because of spec changes that they choose to not publish colour coding.

Thanks

You need to go to the "ETM" tab to get color codes. I just checked and it is there for the 2008 NF.
