Troubleshooting 2017 GMC Terrain Battery Dying with Fuse 16 Pulled for Recreational Towing
Updated 06/04/2024 | Published 05/29/2024 >
Question:
I have a 2017 gmc terrain 2.4l. We have installed the battery charge system and checked that power is coming thru. We pull fuse 16 from the engine compartment. Still having issues with battery going dead. Any suggestions.

Hey Romona, thanks for reaching out!
I checked the online owner's manual for your 2017 GMC Terrain and it says to pull the "Discrete logic ignition switch" fuse which should be in the 32 position as opposed to the 16 position like you said you pulled. I'm pretty sure that's the problem you're experiencing but I recommend verifying this on your end as well.
If you tie the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass # RM76511 into the 32 fuse this should fix your issue!

Jon - are you talking on the engine block or passenger compartment fuses.
