? Extended towing
If you tow more than eight hours in one day, you should repeat the “before towing your vehicle procedure” at least every eight hours. You also need to perform the following procedure to prevent the battery from running down.
1. Remove the 7.5 A accessory radio fuse.
This fuse is located in the interior fuse box.
2 Interior Fuse Box P. 338
2. Store the fuse in a safe place so you do not
lose it.
u Make sure to reinstall the fuse before
you start driving your vehicle.
The above data comes from 2014 CR-V owners manual. Check with dealer and have them show you where this fuse is located...and have them point it out. My guess is that it is very difficult to access. In our 2010 CR-V we had a remote fuse switch installed and that fixed our dead battery issues. By the way, 4-5 hours of towing was enough to cause problems.
Best of luck.
