map light, trailer harness - fix before purchase?
I am about 24 hours from purchasing a 2007 Santa Fe. But, I'm waffling a little after reading several posts on this forum. First of all, I don't have the build date for the SF I'm considering but I'm fairly sure it is one of the earlier ones since it has no XM and has been on the lot a while with 275 miles. I'm hoping you experts can help with some info and your opinions on a few things.
Since the touring package hitch wiring is worthless without a harness that will breed up to it, I think I should be able to ask them to supply the "Hyundai Santa Fe Trailer Wiring Harness at no charge. I keep seeing different part numbers for it. Is it:
U8610-2B000" U8610-2B100, U8612-2B100. Could someone clarify please?
Next, the map light doesn't come on when the doors are open. Does anyone know that part # for this fix and do you think it should be supplied at no charge - before I make the car purchase?
The other issue is the keyless entry doesn't flash lights and sound the horn when pressed.
Thanks so much for your help. I'm so happy I found this place before I pulled the trigger.

The correct part number for the trailer wiring harness is U8612-2B000. Cost is about $85.00.
The dealer can fix the map light issue by ordering the new wiring kit from Hyundai.
There should not be any charge to you. If your dealer gives you static about it call Hyundai customer service.
Tell the dealer to fix the keyless entry problem before you purchase the car, again there should be no cost to you.
I went with the deal. They made note on my sales contract that they will fix everything at no charge. The service department was aware of these issues some of the 07s and ordered the parts. We found that it was missing the wireless head phones for the dvd player also so those were ordered also. If they don't get here before my Christmas trip, they will give me some from another car on the lot. It sounds like I have a pretty good dealer so far.
Thanks again.
Somdai1, I have not had any problems with the driving lights, although I seldom use them as the headlights provide plenty of illumination. Matter of fact I have had no issues with the Sante Fe at all. It's been perfect so far.
It's not a big deal, but it may save you a trip back to the dealer to make sure the outside temperature is reading correctly in the car. (One of the other issues with the older models). If not they will need to rewire around the fuse box... might as well have them check it out. Its not a difficult problem to solve, but would be annoying until solved...
There just has to be some kind of dealer "perk" for good survey pk marks. I could see it for those badged cars that carried a really prestigious badge but not a Hyundai (YES, I am still liking mine a bunch! and since the dome light (whicj they quickly resolved", it has never seen the interior of the shop! :shades: As I stated and have my friends asked ...it he finally finished buying cars cars monthly. Do I have a few small beefs, , sure, but I would have to say not may not as many issues as other brands. (Like my poor Mini Cooper that was a complete blast, WHEN THE BUGGER DECIDED IT WAS GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE IT THAT DAY! hey, I was around in the BAD ole days when a ride in a Hyundai was to see who could run the furthest! before breaking something and bonus points awarede when doubles werew hit.
I was traveling a few months ago and was awaiting a ride to the airport at about 5am. I heard this ratling, cachinging type of noise coming from my brother in law's 2 yr old 5 series MB! Mercedes Benze. I could not wait to see what would lay odds it was the serpentine belt which had to have some kind of Pulley issue as well (Man was it hot under that hood) (We were in Florida) he actually asked me what could possibly happen if he were to drive it home. I just said "POOF" s the cab picked me up....Then I thought...of course it is the supercharger...just had to be. then i woke up from nana land!!! and Called my Brother in law a little too late. he has been driving with the Service light for so long and was going to being with a whopper of a bill Something about replacing a belt...just made me feel crummy inside!
"Howdy, Jeff. Not to sound smug, but what's a "5 series MB! Mercedes Benz"?"
Not Smug...Must check My thinking before typing...
I meant a 5 series BMW....takes a little more time for my own tranny fluid to get warm in this cold weather"
