9. Re-attach the wires to the switch by sliding the connectors over the terminals on the switch. On Fuse ByPass Switch
keep the connections in pairs on each side of the rear divider bar of the switch. Do not reinstall the rear panel until you
have tested the operation of the Fuse ByPass Switch.
10. In the Battery Box: Note that one (1) of the two (2) sets of wires is longer than the
other. This pair of wires should be installed into the GM fuse holder farthest away by
inserting each terminal into the fuse holder connector one at a time. The other pair of
wires fits the closer one. Install the connector from each pair of wires into the two (2)
fuse holders from which you removed the fuses in the “towed vehicle”. Press in on the
pins until fully seated. Note that the black wires are one circuit connected to the lower
fuse holder in the Fuse ByPass Switch harness and the red wires are connected to
the upper fuse holder.
11. Install the fuses into the appropriate fuse holders on the Fuse ByPass Switch harness.
12. Test the Fuse ByPass Switch as noted below and if it tests OK, then reinstall the rear
panel of the console by pushing the retainers back into their locations. Ensure that the
upper tabs fit under the top before fully locking the panel in place. Reinstall the bezel
around the power outlet (and A/V connections), ensuring the tabs on the bottom are
inserted into the rear panel before pressing the upper portion into the clips. Ensure
that all removed panels are properly reinstalled and the battery cover is slid back under the center portion of the car
floor and then the retaining screw is tightened. Reinstall the rear floor panels.
Testing: When the Fuse ByPass Switch button is depressed in upper direction the fuses are “ON”. This is the “Driving
the towed” position. When the button is depressed in the opposite direction (the bottom), the fuses are “OFF”; this is
the position for “Towing”. Confirm that the switch operation is as described.
Troubleshooting - Fuse ByPass fails to operate
• Insure that the pins are fully seated in the correct position in the Fuse Panel and not touching each other
• Make sure that the wiring is properly connected to the back of the switch
• Insure that there is a fuse (and it is not blown) in the Fuse ByPass harness and that the fuse is properly installed
in the fuse holder in the harness
