Blue Ox Flat Tow Wiring Harness - BX88272

  • Fuse Bypass
  • Bypasses Vehicle Wiring
  • Blue Ox

We highly recommend this fuse bypass switch if you need to deactivate a fuse when you flat tow. It's a huge pain to pull the fuse by hand every time, and you risk losing or damaging it. With this kit, you just have to flip a switch.

  • Keeps battery from draining with the flip of a switch

  • Mounts in dashboard and connects to fuse box

Do I Need a Fuse Bypass Switch?

Technically, it is optional, but if you need to pull a fuse on your vehicle when you flat tow, this kit will make your life so much easier. Instead of wedging yourself down on the floorboard and fishing a tiny fuse out from under your dashboard every time you flat tow (not to mention putting it back again), you can just flip a switch. No dead battery, no lost fuse, no damaged fuse, no back pain.


When the switch is in the drive position, the fuse will be active and your car will function normally. When you're ready to flat tow, you'll flip the switch to the tow setting and deactivate the fuse. This allows you to tow your vehicle without the battery draining.


How to Wire a Bypass Switch for Fuse Disconnect

Installing this fuse bypass switch really only takes a few steps:


1. Open the fuse access panel and remove the designated fuse

2. Connect the end of the wiring harness to the fuse socket

3. Mount the switch in your dashboard

4. Insert the pulled fuse into the fuse holder

  • Fuse Bypasses Needed To Flat Tow A 2015 Buick Enclave
    Hey Steven, To bypass the 15 amp ECM and Onstar fuses you can use the # RM76514 and for the 50 amp BATT1 fuse you can use the # RM-76517. These both come with switches to activate/deactivate the fuses. You'll likely need to splice in some extra wires to run them up to the dash for easier access.

  • What Fuse Does the Blue Ox Fuse Bypass Replace On a 1997 Jeep Wrangler
    Hey Matt, I checked around a bit and it looks like to install the Blue Ox Fuse Bypass Switch # BX88272 on your '97 Jeep Wrangler you need to remove the tow fuse - which is highlighted in the attached picture and replace it with # BX88272. This fuse should be the number 20 fuse, which is a 15A fuse, on the interior by the passenger side. Let me know in the comments if you have any other questions, and Id be happy to help!

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 GMC Terrain
    In order to convert the 4-way trailer connector on your 2014 Thor ACE 29.2 to a 6-way trailer connector you would want to use the Mighty Cord Trailer Connector Adapter part # A10-6034VP. The adapter plugs into the 4-way you have on your RV and will require you to hardwire in 3 additional wires. The white wire is for the ground and will need to be attached to a clean bare metal surface. The black wire will then need to be ran to the battery with an in-line fuse holder such as part # SWC9539...

  • Recommended Fuse Bypass For Flat Towing A 2013 Honda CR-V
    If your owner's manual says to only pull the #19 ACC radio fuse, you can use the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch for Towed Vehicles # BX88272. If it states to pull the #19 ACC radio fuse and the #20 ACC key lock fuse you'll need to use the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicle # RM76512. The Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch for Towed Vehicles # BX88294 you referenced is for ATC or ATO fuses. The fuses you'll be pulling are Mini, and ATC fuses are much larger.

  • Does Brake Buddy Select Supplemental Braking System Drain Vehicle Battery
    The Brake Buddy Select 3 part # HM39524 like you have plugs into a power outlet in the tow vehicle to power the brake setup. So what that means is that it's draining your vehicle battery as it's being used. Using a fuse bypass won't prevent this from happening. Only solution is a battery charge kit like the part # RM-156-25 like it sounds like you tried which will keep the battery topped off so that when it's being used it will hopefully recharge.

  • Fuse Bypass Kit to Bypass 50-Amp and 15-Amp Mini Fuses in 2011 Buick Enclave
    For your 50-amp fuse you can use Blue Ox ByPass Switch # BX88274 and for your 15-amp mini fuse Blue Ox # BX88272. The Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch # RM76514 that you referenced does provide 2-fuse bypass capability but its amperage rating for both is 20-amps.

  • Which Fuse Needs to be Pulled to Flat Tow 2013 Honda CR-V
    According to the online owner's manual for your 2013 Honda CR-V, for extended towing, you will remove the 7.5 A accessory radio fuse to prevent the battery from running down. This should be located in the interior fuse box. For a fuse bypass switch to use so you do not need to remove the fuse each time you tow your vehicle, I recommend looking at the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch # BX88272. You will just relocate the specified fuse with this bypass and flip the integrated switch. To drive...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Buick Enclave Front Wheel Drive
    To flat tow your 2013 Buick Enclave you're going to need a tow bar, base plates, wiring for the lights, a supplemental braking system for the brakes, and possibly a high-low adapter. I suggest the Blue Ox # BX1708 for a base plate kit. To connect to the RV I like the Avail # BX7420 for a tow bar because of the 10,000 pound weight capacity. The Avail also includes safety cables. To power the lights of the Enclave use the diode kit # RM-154. According to an online owner's manual for a...

  • How To Cut Power To A Jensen Mechless RV Stereo That Won't Turn Off
    First, I recommend removing your Jensen Mechless RV Stereo # JWM10A from the wall and removing the fuse from the back of the unit to fully reset it. If this doesn't fix the issues you're having with the unit not powering down when you press the power button then you can install a fuse bypass switch like the # BX88272 to cut the power with the flip of a switch.

  • How To Disable the Auto Level Suspension While Towing With a 2011 GMC Yukon XL Denali
    The easiest way to disable the Continuous Damping Control Suspension (CDC) on your 2011 GMC Yukon XL Denali is to pull the " Electronic Stability Suspension Control, Automatic Level Control Exhaust" fuse which is located in the #2 position on the under hood fuse box. If you don't want to open the hood and do this each time you tow, you can install the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch part # BX88272.

  • Fuse Bypass for Flat Towing 2011 Honda Fit
    What you need is a fuse bypass. If your fuse is 20 amps or less you can use the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch # BX88272. However, based on what other Honda Fit owners have reported it sounds like you have a 30 amp fuse. If that is the case, you will need the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch - High-Amp Fuse # BX88274 which can handle up to 50 amps.

  • Does Rear Wiper Fuse Need to be Pulled to Flat Tow a 2019 Chevy Equinox
    According to the owner's manual for your 2019 Chevy Equinox there will be a power draw while you're flat towing so it calls for charging the battery during travel. This can be accomplished by using a wiring kit like the Roadmaster # RM26FR and then adding the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 so power from your motorhome will charge the battery. It's entirely possible that removing the fuse for the rear wiper will keep the battery from being drained but that's not something we've looked into...

    I checked the owners manual for a 2013 Buick Enclave and you will need to remove the 15 amp OnStar and ECM fuse. These are in the battery compartment behind the passenger seat on the floor. You will also need to remove the 50 amp BATT1 fuse from the underhood fuse block. For your 50-amp fuse you can use Blue Ox ByPass Switch # BX88274 and for your 15-amp mini fuse Blue Ox # BX88272. What this will do is allow you to deactivate these circuits with just a switch instead of having to...

    The Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch for Towed Vehicles part # BX88272 which is a fit for a 2014 Honda CR-V will need to be installed on the #19 ACC fuse slot. If done correctly, it will kill power to both the radio and navigation screens. The owner's manual actually identity's the wrong fuse for this so please disregard that. I have attached a photo below to clarify.

    I do have a solution for you but since we don't carry or install Mopar parts I wouldn't be able to tell you if the service tech you spoke with knew what they were talking about or not. Typically a fuse is pulled to keep the battery from draining. I am not sure why a fuse would need to be removed when your 2018 Jeep Cherokee is not being towed though. If your fuse does need to be removed each time you are done towing your Jeep then I recommend installing a few bypass switch like the Blue...

  • Recommended Fuse Bypass Switch for a 2009 Honda Fit
    You are correct in that the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass part # RM76511 and the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch part # BX88272 both have a 20 amp max fuse rating. This is mainly due to the gauge of wire that is used in the harness in relation to the distance that the circuit needs to travel. However, I do still have a solution for you that will not require you to physically pull the fuse each and every time and that is the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass High-Amp Fuse Switch part # BX88274 which...

  • Can Blue Ox Fuse ByPass BX88272 be Used on a 2014 Honda CR-V
    Yes, your 2014 Honda CR-V can use the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass part # BX88272. For your CR-V normally the # 19 fuse needs to get pulled which is what the # BX88272 will allow you to do. However, in some cases the owners manual will state that you need to deactivate the # 20 fuse too which means that instead you could use the part # BX88273 which allows you to kill two circuits with one switch.

    The fuse bypass switch that would be a fit for your 2008 Pontiac G5 is the Roadmaster FuseMaster, part # RM76511. This will allow you to flat-tow your vehicle without draining the battery. This does not have to be removed when you want to do normal driving. I have attached a link to a fuse bypass being installed. The vehicle is different than yours, but the installation would be similar and will give you an idea how this is installed. In case you do not have all of the components needed...
