Roadmaster Flat Tow Wiring Harness - RM-76517

  • Fuse Bypass
  • Bypasses Vehicle Wiring
  • Roadmaster
  • Custom Fit

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.


Features:

  • Keeps battery from draining with the flip of a switch
    • Deactivates the fuse while flat towing
  • Saves you the hassle of removing the fuse by hand
  • Stores fuse so that you won't lose or damage it
  • Mounts in dashboard and connects to fuse box
  • Includes fuse controller, wiring harnesses, ring terminals, spade connectors, and installation hardware
    • Fuse controller allows the high current fuse to be turned on/off without sending high current through the switch
  • Application: 50-amp FMX fuse
  • Made in the USA


Note: Consult your owner's manual to determine which fuse to pull.


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 popping the hood and fishing a tiny fuse out of your battery compartment 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 headache.


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.

  • Flat Towing Equipment Recommendations For A 2021 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid
    I spoke with Roadmaster and they stated the plug-in hybrid would be the same fit. You will want to make sure you follow your owner's manual to ensure you are properly set up to flat tow if your vehicle is able to. To flat tow your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid you'll need a tow bar, base plates, tow bar wiring, safety cables, and a braking system. I have the following recommendations for your vehicle listed below: Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount...

  • Can Flat Tow Equipment Be Transferred Between Different Tow Vehicles?
    It depends on what new vehicle you plan on getting in place of your 2016 GMC Terrain, however typically the only thing that you can transfer among different towed vehicles is the tow bar. So for your Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420, as long as you have a Blue Ox baseplate like the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1689 on your new vehicle you can use this tow bar with no issues. As far as everything else like the braking system # SM99251, tow bar wiring # RM-152-98146-7, charge line...

  • Can a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox AWD Be Flat Towed
    Hey Roger, I checked the owner's manual and it looks like you will be fine to flat tow your AWD Equinox. They only harp on AWD vehicles being towed with only two wheels on the ground, but it was actually recommended to tow the AWD models with all four wheels on the ground. So with that being said if you're interested in a complete setup you're going to need: A base plate kit, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523160-5, A wiring kit, the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire...

  • 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.

  • Will Flat Tow Parts from 2015 Chevy Equinox Fit Another Chevy Equinox With AWD
    Hi Beverley; as long as there is no damage to the base plate kit or anything else you can carry it and the other components over to your new 2015 Equinox. If you aren't sure, I would go ahead and replace it with the # RM-523160-5. The only exception is if you have the brush guard on the new one. The base plate kits won't fit if you have the brush guard. Since your owner's manual says you can flat tow the AWD model you're good to go. One other thing worth mentioning is there may be a difference...

  • Can a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox Front Wheel Drive Be Flat Towed With all 4 Wheels On The Ground?
    Yes, your 2017 Chevrolet Equinox FWD can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. Do understand that you will need to run your Equinox for 5 minutes every time you stop for gas to properly lubricate your transmission and before towing. A better option may be to use a Dolly # DM9713093 so you will not have to let your engine run before towing or during stops. If you prefer to flat tow you will need the following components.

  • What Fuses Must Be Pulled on a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox When Flat Towing?
    To flat tow your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox the fuse you pull will depend on the engine you have. For the 3.6L V6 you will need to pull fuse number 32 in the instrument panel fuse box. You can also use the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass # RM76511 so that you only need to flip a switch. For the 2.4L 4 cylinder engine you will leave the number 32 fuse in and instead pull a fuse from the under hood fuse box. You will need to pull the ABS module fuse which due to manufacturing variances may...
