Hyundai ix35 Wiring Harness

Not automatically. The ix35 sold in South Africa as LM, and because the ix35 and the LM Tucson are one vehicle under two names, parts listed for either will usually interchange — worth knowing when one listing is dry and the other is not. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the ix35 specifically, because the ix35 and the LM Tucson are one vehicle under two names, parts listed for either will usually interchange — worth knowing when one listing is dry and the other is not.

Full loom replacement is rare and expensive. AE Wiring in Port Elizabeth manufactures Hyundai harnesses locally. In practice we repair damaged sections with soldered splices and heatshrink rather than replace — request a free quote for a diagnosis.

On the i20, a leaking washer bottle or a failed coolant temp sensor can drip onto the ECU connector in the engine bay. Blocked bulkhead drains flood the footwell loom. Bonnet seal failure lets rain into the scuttle area. All are common SA complaints.

A chafed ABS wheel speed sensor loom is the most common cause we see — the wheel moves the wire, insulation wears through and the signal shorts. Intermittent because it only grounds when the loom flexes the right way. Inspect where the loom crosses the suspension arm.

Yes and it should always be the first approach. A good auto-electrician solders, heatshrinks and re-sleeves damaged sections for a fraction of full-harness cost. Full replacement is only justified after fire damage or flooding that corrodes the entire loom.

Water is shorting a wire to earth somewhere in a wet section of loom. Common spots: under the battery tray, the bulkhead connector behind the airbox and the boot loom rubber on hatchbacks. Trace the circuit the fuse protects, then inspect that loom for dampness.
