Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch Installation - 2012 Chevrolet Traverse- Video

Shane: Hi, everyone. Shane here at etrailer.com. Today, I have a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse, and I want to walk you through how I installed Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass for 50 amp fuses. The reason this vehicle needs it is because, when the car is set up to be in tow mode, you have to have the key in the accessory on position to shift it into neutral. Once shifted into neutral, the key can not be taken out of the ignition because it kind of locks it into place. So you have to be able to shut the power off for the battery. more

One of the fuses is a 15 amp fuse to your ECM. It requires it to be pulled once the vehicle is put into tow mode.

Roadmaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicles Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Traverse- Video

Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Traverse we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for towed vehicles. Rated for 30 to 50 amp FMX Fuse, part number RM76513. We will be installing this in conjunction with the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass for two fuses rated at 20 amps, part number RM76514. Here's what this fuse bypass looks like once it's installed on the vehicle. As you can see it's tucked away here under the hood to where it's not really in the way of anything and it's not going to cause any issues. But what this does is eliminate the need to take the top of this fuse box off and then take out the fuse every single time. But rather you can just come under the hood here, flip the switch when you're ready to tow it, and then when you're done towing you flip it back to drive, and you're ready to go. The fuse that you got to take out of here, the other issues is that sometimes they can be difficult to get out, and from time to time when you take that file fuse out a lot, eventually it might break. more
