Fuse Bypasses Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Chevy Traverse
Question:
On my 2016 Chevy Traverse, do you need both bypass fuse switches? Do I need the one under the hood and the one that hooks to your battery and mounts to console? Or will just one do the job?

Expert Reply:
Both bypass switches are needed in order for you to flat tow your 2016 Chevrolet Traverse; the reason for that is because they are different types of fuses (at different locations, as you pointed out), so both switches are needed, the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch - 50 Amp FMX Fuse # RM-76517 and Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch - (2) 20-Amp ATC/ATO Fuses # RM76514.
I have added links to video installations of both bypasses being installed on a 2016 Traverse for you to take a look at. Along with the fuse bypasses, the other parts needed to flat tow your 2016 Chevy Traverse are the following:
- Base Plate Kit: Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518304
- Tow Bar: Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
OR
- If RV has air brakes: Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243
Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at of these part as well.
