Curt Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicles - 2 ATM Mini-Fuse

Video Transcript for Review of Curt Tow Bar Wiring - Towing Fuse Bypasses Switch- 2 Mini-Fuse - C63HR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at this cut fuse bypass switch. This is gonna be used in situations where you're wanting to flat tow your vehicle behind your RV or motor home so that you have a runaround vehicle once you get to your campsite. But your vehicle is going to require a fuse to be pulled in order to flat tow it. So it's not going to be for every vehicle out there but there are some vehicles that require you to have it in the arm position so that your steering wheel doesn't lock up. And if you leave it in the arm position the whole time you're towing, you're likely gonna have a dead battery by the time you get to your destination.

So some vehicles do require you to pull a fuse. That's where this is going to make it a whole lot easier for you. Basically what this does is you'll pull the fuse the one time and then you'll put it in these sockets here. These receptacles will accept that fuse and then allow you to plug into where the fuse normally would be. And that way, when you're driving around town like normal, everything's working perfectly but then you have the option to flip that switch.

And that is going to break that connection as if you had removed the fuse so that your vehicle's battery won't die as you're towing that. So instead of having to go in and manually pull that fuse every time, you've got that little switch there. It's going to make it very convenient for you to just switch on and off. So after you're done towing, you're ready to go drive around, flip it into arm position and you're ready to go. You don't have to keep track of where the fuse is and that sort of thing.

This is going to provide two receptacles for your mini fuses up to 20 amp ratings. So very easy to just switch those out and put those in. You will need to refer to your vehicle owner's manual to know which fuse you need to pull for your vehicle. But once you get those put in place, it's going to be very simple to just flip that switch. Now, this does have the option of allowing you to flush mount the switch.

So somewhere near your fuse compartment you've got a place where you can drill a big enough hole for that to mount in place. And then that backing nut will tighten down. So that that's right there available for you. The one thing I will say about that is you will probably have to remove these connectors in order to get that hooked up if you're wanting to use that flush mount kind of style there. But overall, a really convenient way of allowing your vehicle to be flat towed without having to go in and manually pull those fuses every time. So that's going to complete our work for today.
