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

Good product and great service
For a normal mini ATO plug in fuse block this would be great! My 2012 Honda CRV uses mini ATO fuses where the contact is made on the side of the fuse as it slides in. The two separate blade connectors at the end of the switch wiring are VERY HARD to get to stay in the fuse block! I made a small plastic wedge to slide between the blade connectors to force them to stay in position. The quality of the switch is great and installation is easy but if you're trying to put it in a 2012 Honda CRV (and maybe other Honda's with this style fuse block) be aware of this issue.!!
Works well. Alleviates me having to pull the fuses.
Très bon produit arrivé dans les temps et l’installation a été très facile avec vos conseils vidéos. Je le recommande à tous et nous le recommandons à nos connaissances pour de futurs clients, bonne journée
These are a good alternative to the Roadmaster bypass switches and also cost less. I ended up pulling the wiring out of the plastic conduit. The area where this is used doesn't need it and doing that made it much easier to work with. I made my own labels for Drive and Tow positions. Two of these were worked great at bypassing the four fuses that had to be pulled for flat towing a 2019 Chevrolet Sonic. I used some of my wife's fingernail polish to indicate the drive position, "still need to touch that up a bit". See photo.
I'm not using this for towing. I'm using it to turn my DTL off/On. Honda gives no option to turn off DTL lights. This fuse bypass works great.
Leads did not fit into the fuse holder. Could not use.

These are designed to fit micro fuses and are not going to slip in easy, you will need to give them a little push just make sure that you are pushing straight in and not at an angle because the tips could snap.
While attempting to install it was impossible to plug in and get it to stay in place. The spade end broke before I was able to get it properly installed. Had to Jerry-rig it to get this inferior product to work. Not worth the time or money.
Easy installation
Part performed as advertised.

Great. I used it in my travel trailer to have a onoff switch for the OEM radio. Without the switch the radio is always drawing some small amount of power from the battery. It plugged right in. No cutting wires, no crimps, no wire nuts needed.

That's such a good idea! They are nice to have but also nice to be able to have control over when they are or are not on.
