Some cars can be towed only if you get under the hood and pull a fuse or fuses. If you don't remove these fuses before towing, there's a good chance that your battery will be drained by the time you reach your destination.
Roadmaster's FuseMaster makes it easy to prep your vehicle for towing. Simply remove the fuses indicated in your owner's manual and replace them with the bypass. The system will hold the removed fuses and maintain their functionality. So, once the initial installation is complete, you don't have to remove or replace your fuses again.
Whenever you want to drive your car, just make sure the switch on the bypass is flipped into the "Drive" position. When the bypass system is on, the fuse will be active and your vehicle will function normally. Then, when it comes time to tow, switch the FuseMaster to "Tow." Doing this will render the fuse inactive so that you can flat tow your car without its battery being drained.
Installation
This bypass installs inside your vehicle's battery compartment, which is located beneath the rear passenger's-side seat. To mount the FuseMaster switch, route the harness up to your center console. You will have to drill access holes in the console to run the FuseMaster through and to mount the switch.
Included with the FuseMaster are 2 stickers: "Drive" and "Tow." Once the switch is installed, you can place the stickers on your console - one on each side of the toggle - to remind you which way the switch must go for each application. Place the "Drive" sticker on the side of the toggle that has the white dot. (To drive your car, the switch must be flipped so that the side with the white dot is depressed.) The "Tow" sticker can then be placed on the opposite side.

The item was correct and delivered promptly. My only complaint, not the fault of e-Trailer, is it was defective. A spade connector in one of the two fuse holders was out place in the socket. (Buried too deep on the molded rubber) Did not realize it until after it was installed and did not want to tear it out. Will replace fuse holder in lieu of the hassle of sending it back for a replacement.

Review from a similar FuseMaster in Tow Bar Wiring
Roadsters product worked well. I did not remove the lower dash part, and just did extreme yoga to remove and install the fuse bypass. This was the worst part. I can't believe that Honda put this fuse block in such a difficult to access location. The rest was simple. Installing the small connectors was a trick, (I also didn't use the fuse connector) but I finally got the connections in the fuse block. Drilled the hole from the outside and installed the switch. The location could have been lower and more to the left as there was a thicket portion of the dash on the back that prevented the lock nut from seating, but the switch is tight and works well. This is absolutely the way to go instead of pulling a fuse on my 2014 Honda CRV!
Comments
Product is great. Works well and was a fairly easy install.

Review from a similar FuseMaster in Tow Bar Wiring
The connection to the field Box with the For spade Connection is iffy and has a tendency to fall out or short circuit. I had to go out and buy a type of type of connection that is meant for another purpose so that I could get those bad bits into that and it would lock it in to the fuse Box

Review from a similar FuseMaster in Tow Bar Wiring
Very easy to install in my gmc 2013 terrain. Took 5 minutes. Hardest part was drilling hole in fuse box cover. I did not have a 3/4" drill bit so has to drill out edges it largest bit I had. Was fine doing this was. Is expensive for what you get, a fuse holder ,switch, plug in and wires?

Review from a similar FuseMaster in Tow Bar Wiring
Ordered and install base plate over a year ago and finally got to use it a couple of weeks ago because motorhome was in shop waiting on parts. Pandemic and supply chain issues. Anyway, the base plate and accessories work great. Dinghy tracks well. Hardly know it’s back there.

Receive the correct wiring harness after I informed etrailer that I had ordered the wrong part. Customer service is great. Will use them in the future

No longer RVing. The wiring harness is too short. It needs to be about 2 inches longer

The connections at the fuse panel were difficult to tell which was hot.

The instructions say the thick black wire is the cold side and the large red wire is the hot.

Review from a similar FuseMaster in Tow Bar Wiring
Works great so far, haven't towed the car but put the switch in tow mode and it worked as it should. put in drive mode and car started right up. The installation process is easy enough but there isn't much room around the fuse box to run additional wires.

Review from a similar FuseMaster in Tow Bar Wiring
My base plate and tow bar has performed flawlessly since the day it was installed. I took a chance by installing the equipment before picking up my motorhome which was 1,300 miles away - hoping everything would match up as advertised. And it was seamless! First time hook-up went without a problem and the car towed perfectly - and has ever since. I'm totally sold on this Blue Ox towing system!
Comments
Absolutely no problems! A solid purchase that I would make again if needed.

Towed over 7000km last year with no problems. It is great to not have to pull fuses anymore.

This is the 3rd baseplate I have installed on cars and this bypass switch is a great feature. The plug in to the fuse panel is tricky but easy if you lay on your back with a flashlight.

- Can a 4-Diode Tow Bar Wiring Kit be Used on a 2016 Buick EnclaveYes, you can use a 4-diode tow bar wiring kit such as # 38955 on your 2016 Buick Enclave. It also appears that fuses have to be pulled to flat tow your Enclave. Consult the vehicle owner's manual to confirm. To make this process as easy as flipping a switch I recommend fuse bypasses # RM-76517 and # RM76514.

They actually have 3 different models in their current line up. The Stealth unit does need to connect to the battery. The Vantage and the Classic plug into a 12 volt outlet (cigarette lighter). If your 12 volt power outlets are not active after using the fuse bypasses or pulling the fuses then you would want to install a 12 volt outlet kit # RM-9332. I have linked a video as an example of how it installs. The...
view full answer... - Fuse Bypasses Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Chevy Malibu Behind RVActually, according to the information I found in the owner's manual for the 2014 Chevy Malibu, the number 8, 22 and 24 fuse would need to be pulled. Using the Roadmaster # RM76511 and # RM76512 would allow you to easily and quickly bypass all three fuses with just the flick of a switch. These bypasses are compatible with the ATM mini fuses used by your Malibu. To see install details and an install video, click the links I've provided for you.
view full answer... - Removing Fuses to Flat Tow a 2017 GMC Acadia LimitedWhen a vehicle's owner's manual says to remove fuses I definitely recommend abiding by it. GM requires the fuses be removed in order to disable specific functions that will operate while the Acadia is set up to be flat towed. 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. Also, for disconnecting the battery with a switch use # RM-766.

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. The reason it is needed is because, when the car is set up to be in tow mode, you have to have the key in the ACC ON position to shift it into neutral. But once you have done so the key...

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.

Because of this I recommend installing the Blue Ox # BX88274 and the Roadmaster # RM76514 to help make this process much easier. For the wiring kit to activate the lights on your Enclave I recommend the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. Once this is installed you will only know it is there by the 6-Way connector...

If you need any of the other parts to complete your setup like the wiring or braking system I recommend going with the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 and Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System part # HM39524....

In addition to the tow bar and the base plates you will also need safety cables (if the tow bar did not come with any) # RM-645-76, lighting, and supplemental braking.

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...

There are a few other things needed to flat tow a vehicle if you do not already have them: safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For safety cables you can use # RM-643.

Assuming that the RV and hitch are rated high enough you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to tow your 2013 Buick Enclave.
