    Default 2009 RS SE5 Need Help

    Hello All,

    I have a 2009 SE5 that's at the dealer for some add on parts mainly lights. I had fender lights, JL Audio, rear lights, LED front bar, and front turn signal lights. I had added HIDs head/fog lights, repair front fender lights, stebel horn, LED front runner lights. Spyder is now freaking out, it will not run. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to hopefully work this out. I had asked for them to add an extra fuse box (it did not happen). Any ideas that I can bestow on them to get this working. Thanks

    Sounds like the is not happy with something that was done electrically. There is supposed to be a wiring harness used with all pre-2012 models if you used the Xenon BRP HID lights.
    An additional $104.99 on top of the $924.99 for the light set.

    Let us know what you find out.

    Default lots of gear

    that is alot of gear added on without using a fusebox seperate from the bike's electrical system. i would install one for sure, and put all of your add ons on it, or as many as you can.
    it was fun while it lasted.

    If the HID ballasts are not BRP, or from one of this sites venders, they can really screw up the Spyders Cambus, which screws up the ECM. This will also happen if the ballasts are not installed and isolated properly. There are other things that can make things wonky, like led lights without the proper load resistors, and loose electrical connections.
    As for an aux power set up, Eastern Beaver has a good one in the PC-8, which will give you 2 unswitched and 6 switched circuits, plus a harness that has a relay for supplying the power.

    Default There you go...!!

    Well somewhere in all the connections for the add on's something has gone amiss. LED's not properly installed will cause nightmares. Very touchy systems get the extra fuse box for sure....
