Do Fuses Need to be Pulled When Flat-Towing a 2013 Honda CR-V

Question:

Do I have to pull the fuse to flat tow my 2013 crv? Or can I hook up the battery charge wire, like I did on my 2006? Thanks

Yes, you absolutely have to remove the fuse from your 2013 Honda CR-V when flat-towing. One option that will alleviate this process is installing a Roadmaster # RM76511 Fuse Bypass System.

This unit is basically a permanent solution being that it is hardwired into your vehicle. There is a rocker switch that you depress when you are either driving which will activate the fuse or towing which will de-activate your fuse. By using this product, you do not have to worry about removing the fuse and having to remember where you put it. you just simply flip the switch.

I also attached a link that takes you to FAQ articles concerning tow bar wiring as well as another link for tow bars.
