Tried doing a search but no luck. Does anyone know the taillight color coding for a 2012 RT-S: running light, ground, brake lights and turn signals. Want to add a set of hyperlites I have from an old bike.Thanks in advance, Bill:sour:

Orange = Running lights
Black = Ground
White = Brakes
Grey/Pink = Left turn
Brown/Yellow = Right Turn

Would this be the same for the 2011 RT?


Orange = Running lights
Black = Ground
White = Brakes
Grey/Pink = Left turn
Brown/Yellow = Right Turn

Should be the same across the board.

Glad this came up, and Scotty replied. I had this combo for the RT, and now know I was wrong.

White (or Black) = ground
Brown = running lights
Yellow = left turn/brake
Green = right turn/brake

Ok, now I’m really confused! I recently installed a 2013 BRP hitch on my RT Limited and it has thesquare, four pin plug (female end).
I was able to find the male end of the square, four pin plugand connected it to a flat, four pin female plug so I’d have a jumper to hookup to the trailer I’m buying (it has a flat, four pin male end). *** Shout out to Mini Trailer, USA*** Imatched the wires for the jumper… yellow, brown, green and white but it doesn’t workproperly.
What did I do wrong?

The wiring colors on the Spyder are not the same as the trailer harness wire colors. After the module, the 2013 harness colors are standard trailer wiring colors.

Now to add to your confusion...the RT-622 harness colors may be different than either...and they may change colors at the conector, so they are not the same in the back of the trailer as they are at the hitch.

Brown = Running Lights
White = Ground
Yellow = Left turn/brake
Green = Right turn/brake

Hooked up trailer to a 2013 RT . Matched wire colors and tested them for a match. Worked ok for about 1000 miles , modulate on bike died. Did the twice ): ended up bypassing modular , works fine. I think the modular gets too hot , because of new location under seat ! Prior models , modular was at rear of bike ! Engineering issue , again !
