Birdman, put my meter on pins 9 and 13 ....nothing, so no permanent live.
I have been told it could be a fuse in the relay, or a faulty relay.
Where might the relay be, and what does it look like?
Thanks
Jihn
Normally the fuse for the permanent live feed is located near the battery. You should see if it has been wired as it should be direct to the battery terminal and then through the fuse.
There should be no relay for the permanent live but should be one for the feed for the fridge which operates only when the engine is running.

Update.
Took car to have the electrics checked, lights, indicators work.
No power to ATC, caravan fridge or charging van battery whilst towing.
Spoke to two local Towbar fitters and Kia, and they will not add the missing 'splitter' to the existing wiring.
All, told me that just about the whole rear interior of the car has to be removed to get at the wiring, including one it the seats.
So, I am having the whole lot replaced, with an Aftermarket wiring set for £120. The only quick solution I could find, going away next week and having ATC engaged is required by my C Club insurance.

The rear panel has to come off plus the rear seat to remove the panel. The trim along the inside of the sill all along the side to the front removed and then side kick panel to run wires through to engine compartment to the battery.

This is clearly a job that I would not consider doing myself, when i called at Towbar Express they were working on a BMW, at first glance the car appeared to have been in a rear end collision. Bumper, wheel arches, boot floor, interior panels all removed.
On a job like that, I would have a few bits left over when I put it back together i think!

I have been wiring my own tow bars for 45 years,in fact before the CE regulations on tow bars was introduced i used to make my own tow bars in the workshop. But as the years have gone on each new car needs more stripping out to do the wiring.
