Looking for a HHR fuse adapter

We flat tow a HHR. Anyone else towing one knows you have to pull a fuse from the lower passengers side fuse panel. I've been told there is some type of adapter to replace the fuse with some type of switch you can mount in a easy to reach place. Sounds like a great accessory. Where can I get one?
  • Here is what you are looking for. I do not like their installation location, it seems too easy to bump into accidently. I would do it a bit different.

    Fuse switch
  • Just make your own.

    1. Take an old fuse and remove the prongs from it.
    2. Solder wires on these prongs.
    3. Buy a fuse holder and switch from an auto parts store/Walmart etc. (less than $5 for both.)
    4. Solder one of the prong wires to the fuse holder.
    5. Solder the other prong wire to the switch.
    6. Solder the final wire from the fuse holder to the switch.
    7. Install switch, put fuse in fuse holder and button up the fuse panel.



    Look closely and you can see the switch mounted on the plastic panel...Dennis
  • Thanks to all. Moderator what forum did you move it to so I can see if there where any other replies.
  • I made my own like the above post with the exception of using crimp connectors instead of using solder.

    Is working great so far. Much easier than trying to pull the fuse every time.

    All replies, before & after the move are here in the Dinghy Towing forum. Once a thread is moved it is in the new are, along with all posts. The original forum just has a link to this forum. So you don't need to worry about finding other comments.
