Will any other Bombardier ignition switch fit Spyder GS?

[flea]

was wondering if its possible to use a bombardier ignition switch on a 2008 spyder gs , the difference in replacement cost is huge

Guessing something from side by side or other how much physically will fit/operate, much less talk to DESS. Might be more Can-Am

There is a new one on EBAY for $220



Look at this on eBay

Electrically speaking it may work, but remember there is a " chip " that gets a signal from your KEY .... and it probably won't have the Frunk Un-lock connector( ie. cable tab ) .... if you haven't made a separate cable dis-connect for the Frunk, it's easy to do and I highly recommend making one. IMHO the ignition switch is not strong enough for the Frunk cable ..... many here have found this out the hard way .... good luck .... Mike

dont know if its the switch or not at the moment but doing my research before i start as this is the first prob iv had with it since buying except brake failure warning / all the brakes and fluid changed checked and ok , have been riding it for months with light on.... there is a 2nd hand switch module for sale , would this be the likely bit to brake down and would it reconize the chip in my key ... also mike can you explain the frunk cable a bit better /cable disconect for the frunk

" frunk cable dis-connect " back in 2010 I rigged up a cable pull release for that Frunk ( did the same for my 2011 RSS and then for my 2014 RT ). ... many folks here have followed my lead and done the same .... check the Archives for posts that have pics of what needs to be done. ..... Mike
