Access to back of left and right fuse blocks

[seaweed]

Is it possible to access the back of the fuse blocks? I am looking for a connection to "switched power" and "shedding power". Thanks
I have a 2015 RTS-SE.

Yes you can, that is how I got switched power. The fuse blocks unmount. I had my frunk off when I did this so have no idea if you can remove the fuse blocks with it on.

..... and I'm pretty sure the frunk has to come off because the wiring harness is short …. good luck …. Mike

I agree with Mike on this; all the wiring is short except for the light connections to the frunk. Had mine off just last week fixing a radiator grill strike by an Arkansas rabbit. He lost!

BTW, if you pull the frunk to get to the fuse blocks, be sure to reconnect all the wiring before you start the Spyder to check your work. If you don't and leave the wrong connection undone and start the Spyder, it will throw two codes about the ambient air pressure and temperature sensor. Once you make the errant connection the codes will disappear.

I was afraid that the frunk had to come off to get to the back of the fuse blocks. Yes I know that Mike (Blueknight911) says that it is very easy. So I guess that I will tackle that job. By the way Mike how many times have you taken the frunk off? I am guessing more that just a few!!

Like a number of things on a Spyder RT, the first time through can be a bit intimidating, but the second and subsequent times it's a lot easier. Here is what I believe in a very good video on removing the frunk.

In my experience, the two times I've removed the frunk the most time consuming step was reconnecting the air inlet tube to the air box when reassembling everything. The first time it was pretty easy but on the second time I had to diddle with it bit more to get the connection on as it is supposed to be. A little patience was all I needed.

The AIR inlet thing is probably why the dealers charge so much if they have to remove it ………….. You really Don't have to have it completely connected for it to work as designed …. If you look at my Albums there is a pic of my 3 inch air intake pipe …. I have not had any water issues either …. good luck … Mike

The upper terminal of the F8 (unused) position in the RFB is hot through the load shedding relay only when the engine is running. I used a "add-a-circuit" in that position to power my dashcam setup.

After watching the two videos I believe that I will have to drop the skid plate in order to get to the bottom two bolts. Dang
Speaking of the skid plate, it looks like I need to update all the mods in my signature.

I re-moved and not re-placed my OEM skid plate quite awhile ago …. but I think the TWO 10mm bolts ( not the nuts ) come off and the skid plate stays on ….. Mike

[JayBros]

As I remember putting mu frunk back on, even with a bump skid you can get to the two lower 10 mm headed bolts. The whole job is a good bit easier if you get the front wheels up on ramps or jack stands.

I just posted about the fuse block access. I hadn't read about it before.
