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:
Specs:
Note: Consult your owner's manual to determine which fuse to pull.
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.
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
See the installation instructions for more details!

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Blue Ox fuse bypass switch for towed vehicles. Now, this is going to work with ATC-ATO fuses, and this fuse disconnect system is going to prep your vehicle to be towed. This bypasses your towed car's fuses, so you can tow your vehicle without draining its battery, providing a simple alternative to removing fuses every time you tow, and it's going to store the fuse so that you won't lose it. So this is going to install pretty quickly, and easily, and permanently.
You'll remove the fuses from your car's fuse box and install this fuse bypass in their place. And then you'll put the fuses in the fuse bypass fuse holders, as you can see here, and I'll pop this one open as well. So they have these really nice compartments where you can store the fuses with a fuse cap to protect those fuses. Now, you'll mount this near your fuse box, and this is going to maintain the functionality of high-end fuses when it's switched on. You'll just flip the switch to drive position and drive like normal.
It overrides the fuses when it's switched off. You'll just flip the switch to tow position and the instructions will show you how to mount this so you know which position is which. But it's gonna be an easy install. It's going to be an easy operation, it's gonna be very convenient to use, and you'll get a simple instruction sheet here to guide you through that installation and operation process. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today.
I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

I installed the product myself without any problems. We just got back from a cross country. We pulled our Honda Fit over 12,000 miles without any issues or concern.

Excellent! Still wish that it was wired to a dummy fuse that would simply plug into the fusebox instead of the individual tabs that need to be plugged into the 2 sides of the fuse receptical.

It looks like this plugs in behind the panel in twenty fourteen Honda CR Vs as you will see if you watch the install video. It is wire to wire connection and plugs in where the fuse would go.

I would not return the fuse bypass kit just yet. Since you have to pull those fuses anyway when towing, what you will need is a 12-volt outlet kit, part # RM-9332. It has wiring to reach your battery and gives power to the braking system. I have a video on a 2010 Honda CR-V that shows the installation. This way you can still have the convenience the fuse bypass kit gives you.

Since installing the Blue Ox bypass we have gone to Texas and back with absolutely no problems. This has eliminated the battery drain problem totally. Great product as stated previously. Thank you George and E-Trailer
