Expert Reply:
There is not a fuse bypass for the 2016 Lincoln MKX because no fuses have to be pulled to flat tow it. I confirmed this by checking the recreational towing section in the owner's manual (pages 267 to 268).
The procedure outlined in the manual is as follows:
Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle.
If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground:
Tow only in the forward direction.
Release the parking brake.
Enter Neutral Tow mode by doing the following:
1. Put the ignition in accessory mode by pressing the engine START button without pressing the brake pedal.
2. Select Neutral Tow under the Vehicle Settings menu in the information display. See General Information (page 114).
3. Press and hold the OK button to start the neutral tow process.
4. Press the brake pedal and select N on the push-button transmission.
5. Turn the ignition off by pressing the engine START button without pressing the brake pedal.
If the process is completes successfully:
The N on the push-button transmission blinks slowly
"Neutral Tow Engaged turn ignition off for towing" appears in the information display.
Note: If the parking brake is applied, "Neutral Tow remove park brake for towing" appears in the information display.
Note: Do not exceed 65 mph (105 km/h).
Note: Start the engine and allow it to run for five minutes at the beginning of each day and every six hours (or fewer). Shut the engine off and verify that "Neutral tow engaged" appears in the display before continuing to tow.
Exit Neutral Tow mode, make sure the ignition is on (engine can be on or off), press the brake pedal and select P on the push-button transmission.
If the process is completed successfully, "Neutral Tow disengaged" appears in the information display and both the instrument cluster and push-button transmission display P.
