2012 Honda CR-V Flat Tow Fuse Bypass Switch And Wiring Between RV And Vehicle
Question:
I have a 2012 Honda CR-V. I need a double fuse bypass kit as the manual I have says fuse 19 and 20 should be bypassed during towing 4 wheels down to prevent battery drain. These are 7.5amp fuses but I am not sure if these are mini fuses or what Question: which bypass kit should I use? Also I bought the Hopkins hm56304 tail light kit from you. It comes with a 4 flat wiring connector. I have a blue ox baseplate for the CR-V with the mounting bracket 2 poles sticking out of the center to screw on the connector or adapter but there is no adapter that I can find to hook up to the Hopkins 4 flat connector and attach to the baseplate. My RV has 2 different connectors and I assume I could use either one. A 4 round and a 6 round see pictures. I need: A 4 flat adapter to either 4 or 6 round that I can plug in the Hopkins kit and screw on to the blue ox baseplate mounting bracket B cable for between RV and tow car to match the RV 4 or 6 round connector and the adapter in A above. Thanks

For your 2012 Honda CR-V, I double checked everything in your owners manual and have confirmed the Blue Ox Fuse ByPass Switch for Towed Vehicles - 2 ATM Mini-Fuse, # BX88273 is the switch you want for the two 7.5 amp fuses. They are in fact mini fuses.
For your connection from your RV to your CR-V, I recommend cutting off the 4 way of your # HM56304 at the front of your CR-V and using the Blue Ox 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket - Vehicle End, # BLU43XR. I've attached a video to show you this connection. Then I would use the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Extension - 6-Pole Round - with Nite-Glow, # HM47055, to connect the two vehicles.
