Pulling Fuses to Flat Tow a 2019 Chevy Sonic
Question:
I read I have to pull fuses to tow my 19 Sonic. Is this right? Which ones and is there a better way to do it?

From my research you're correct, fuses need to be removed in order to flat tow your 2019 Chevy Sonic. It sounds like the same is true for the 2018 model as well.
You can remove them and insert them manually each time you tow or we sell fuse bypasses from Roadmaster called the FuseMaster. The FuseMaster installs permanently in the Sonic and makes "removing" the fuse as easy as flipping a switch. This bypasses the fuse without actually having to take it out each time you tow.
If your Sonic is not a keyless access model you only need to remove one fuse; the DLIS FUSE 1 in the instrument panel fuse block. The FuseMaster to make this easier is part # RM76511.
If you do indeed have the keyless access model Sonic then instead you need to remove four fuses and you can use three FuseMaster bypasses for them. Use two of part # RM76511 for the F07 and the DLIS 1 fuses and part # RM76512 for both the BCM1 and BCM2 fuses which are in the passenger compartment fuse block. You only need one # RM76512 FuseMaster for both of these fuses.

I just purchased fusemaster j-case fuse 76517 fuse lock out switch. The switch is a rocker switch. How am I supposed to know which way it has been switched? It returns to center both ways, and dont tell me you sent labels. That does no good unless the switch stays pointed at a label.
