Step By Step Retrofit Electric Lifting Tailgate Installation (English Caption) Hyundai KONA 

You can first check troubleshooting section in the manual. If it's not listed, check if you can reset the tailgate positioning by holding the button. If it's not working, maybe the spring and electric thing is malfunctioning, better to contact support.

I believe I covered fuse box part from 9:00 to 10:00. Picked up one vacant 20A fuse. Make sure you also connect to the ground.

Probably not.

Not much differences on the size of the newer model, I'd assume overall process is very similar.

I gues it's too old to get an after market electric lifting spring.

@@iversonchemist1628 actually I found one on eBay that will fit

Yes, the old one is too weak to hold the torque. I do not remember the stand by current, but I'm pretty sure it's minimum.

Yeah, i was looking for the latch hook in your video but you didnt show that. On stand by, i suggest you do a parasitic drain test. Mine was drawing 107mAh, nornal draw should just be 20mAh. This would kill your battery if you dont use your car daily.

Flashing my memories... I did not show the bottom latch because I was using wrong screw head that damaged the screw. Found some way to get it out anyway but had to purchase a new screw and forgot to record that part. Mine was definitely around 20mA when I was doing the connection for the key fob wire. If it's 100 mA, something is wrong.

Yeah, that is what i was trying to figure out. Thank you for responding!

Likely about 4 hours labor.

Did you route your door opening circuit to the control box? If so, try push the unlock button continuously (more than 3 times) to see if that works.

Sry I have no idea for LA area.

It depends. I showed it in video for the switch one for front button. For the control box power and foot sensor they're connected to constant since they work even not turning the vehicle on.

Please check the end of video for all locking details.

Check out description for the exact model I purchased. There are many other options available.

Sure, I think the exact model I bought might not fit in Kona EV. The installation should be close though.

@@RickGeorgeAudio I did, everything looks ok. But there is a problem, it looks like the lock has not enough power to pull the latch. And when I helped pushing the door down to make the lock work it also has not enough power to unlocked it. Now I don't know what to do. The lock and the latch are not adjustable.

@@iversonchemist1628 About my lift gate problem do you have any suggestion for me what is wtong and how to fix it ? Thanks

@@franskurniawan8220 1. When locking, did you hear occasionally hear flash beeping? If yes, check your alignment if something is preventing lock mechanism working properly. If it's just weak, check the current from your power supply. 2. Contact kit provider for a bloatware update for the control box that will give you a stronger release.

@@iversonchemist1628 Thank you for your response. At first I hook the power supply from the fuse like you did, now I hook it up directly from the red cable like the manufacture suggested and the result works the same. Yes when it locked right there is a flashing and a beep when it locked. But when I open one of the front door the sign in the dash turn red it means not lock properly also when I kicked the car. After that the rear door can't be opened so I have to unlocked it manually from inside and lift the door. There is nothing we can do with the alignment, everything is fixed and not adjustable. Well we are supposed to have no problem after we installed it right according to the manufacture guidance. I think the one I bought is not a good product.
