• 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.

• Do Fuses Still Need To Be Pulled To Flat Tow A GMC Acadia If A Charge Line Kit Is Installed
  You will need to use two different fuse bypass kits; the Roadmaster FuseMaster # RM76514 has two fuse holders for the both the ONSTAR and ECM fuse and the Roadmaster FuseMaster # RM-76517 for the BATT1 fuse. These fuses do more than just drain the battery and would still need to be removed regardless if you installed the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25. I do still recommend installing a charge line to save yourself from any dead battery issues, but you'll still need to pull...

• Fuse Bypasses Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Chevy Traverse
  Both bypass switches are needed in order for you to flat tow your 2016 Chevrolet Traverse; the reason for that is because they are different types of fuses (at different locations, as you pointed out), so both switches are needed, the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch - 50 Amp FMX Fuse # RM-76517 and Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch - (2) 20-Amp ATC/ATO Fuses # RM76514.

• Fuse Bypass to Flat Tow 2014 Chevrolet Traverse
  What you most likely read about is the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicles, # RM-76517 and # RM76514. The bypass for FMX fuse replaces your vehicle's FMX fuse and lets you prep for towing by simply flipping a switch, it bypasses the towed car's FMX fuse without draining its battery.

• Everything Needed to Flat Tow A 2014 GMC Acadia Behind RV
  I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2014 GMC Acadia. It states if the vehicle is either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, it can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. I just recommend verifying this information in your copy of the owner's manual, as it's possible that you have a slightly different model Acadia. The owner's manual will also detail the correct procedures and steps to take before heading out on your trip. In order to flat tow your 2014 GMC Acadia...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Chevy Malibu Behind an RV
  It sounds like you are talking about a regular trailer wiring harness used to power trailer lights if your 2014 Chevy Malibu was to tow a trailer. There aren't any tow bar wiring harnesses (to tow the vehicle behind an RV) that require a direct connection to the vehicle battery that I am aware of. The regular trailer wiring harnesses cannot be used as tow bar wiring harnesses. They do not allow power to flow through them backwards. The actual tow bar wiring harnesses available for your...

• Removing Fuses to Flat Tow a 2017 GMC Acadia Limited
  When a vehicle's owner's manual says to remove fuses I definitely recommend abiding by it.

We do offer products to make the process easier whenever you're setting it up to be towed. The recommended FuseMaster bypass switches for your Acadia are # RM-76517 and # RM76514.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Buick Enclave Behind an RV
  The first thing to do is check the capacity of the hitch on your Winnebago. The weight capacity of a Class III hitch varies. There should be a sticker on the hitch but if not the capacity is probably in the RV literature.

• Parts Needed to Provide Power Inside Vehicle During Flat Towing 2017 GMC Acadia
  It sounds like you're looking for a way to power something in your dinghy vehicle, like a supplemental braking system.
