Pulling fuse #8 tow tow HHR
I am going to tow my HHR behind the motorhome and according to the owners manual I need to pull fuse #8 from inside on passenger side. I have heard of people making up a switch with a fuse inline and replacing said regular fuse and mounting the switch under the dash or other convenient location. My question is has anyone seen a pro made switch to replace a fuse instead of me going to all the trouble of trying to make my own.

I found a fuse switch at this site, about 1/2 way down the page.

First one they sent didn't work very well do to the location of fuse #8. They sent me another one setup for a Honda that had a mini fuse on the end that was blown but the fuse I took out fit in a inline fuse holder and fit right in the socket as it should. I tied it down with included ties and tucked the switch up behind the heat duct out of the way but still I can reach it from the drivers seat.

Fuse 8
OK, First post. What happens if you DON'T pull the fuse. I am assuming that it is to prevent the battery going down if you are towing for several hours (days?). We have towed a Jeep Cherokee 2WD for a bazillion miles without ever pulling fuses. I know it's a different car, but am just wondering what the downside of not pulling the fuse is. Thanks. 2008 LT2 with everything except rear wing.
