Honda CRV 06, fuse to by-pass to save battery when towing

As mentioned before a "Toad Charge" set up will always keep your toad battery up to charge. I've been using one on my Buick Lacross for 3 years and have never had a low battery condition again. This is a permanent fix to your problem. This product is very well designed to protect both the toad and your MH.

I have a buddy with a 2011 CRV and he refuses to pull the fuse or put in a switch on his when towing. I have seen him with a dead battery twice after a day of towing. I put the switch in my Equinox and have never had a dead battery.

Check out this thread. I made a fuse switch for $12.67. It works like a charm installed on my 2013 Honda crv.

Previously I had a 2004 Honda crv that I could tow all day long and multiple days with no battery starting problems, However the newer crv's have more hidden parasitic elect. draws on them that will deplete your battery.
Yes a charge line or install a fuse switch.

In my case I did not have a 12Volts at my elect. pin connector and this was a super easy solution that works just fine and easier than running another wire etc. from coach to crv.

to answer your question, your manual states to remove the radio fuse #34, in the diagram in the owners manual it is a 7.5 amp. fuse, the 1st fuse in the top row of four fuses.

Have a 06 CRV and towed for over 40k and have never had a dead battery and i dont have a charge line or do anything to a fuse. I do make sure the radio and A/C are turned off. I average 350 mi a day and do aways start it at night and in the morning. I dont have the navagation system either.

José,
Hey Partner, how is ya? SCV "Jeff" is right on. Don't goof around with the fuse bypass stuff. Just put a "charge wire" from your new coach to the positive battery post on the CRV. It's a simple system to setup. And, if you'd like put a fuse in the line some place to take care of any "oops" that might happen. That way, you don't have to think about even flipping any switches etc. It's all done automatically. I did it on our '11 CRV and towed that thing all over the place and never, ever had a dead battery. Take care Bud.

I had on '06 and an '09 CR-V. I towed both thousands of miles and never had a dead battery. We used a brake buddy powered from the car battery but didn't have the navigation system that I think is the battery draining culprit.

Have the same vehicle and bring 12v back through a Trik-L-Charge. If you have 12v coming from the coach I would recommend this vs. bypassing vehicle systems. You still draw off the battery if/ when the compressor comes on in the brake system.
