    Default Lights not working on front fender wheel well

    My 2010 RTS has had installed several years ago by dealership the Custom Dynamics/ESI:

    LED Mud Flap Lights, Bright Sides front fender and Front Fender Tip Kit

    All 3 are not working on just the right Side fender wheel - no light. Other side is fine.

    I had bike at dealership to have a floorboard installed yesterday. Probably just

    coincidence but when I got home I noticed the lights

    not working, My question is it a fuse or since it's just the right side, is it a

    wire that runs out there? Probably doesn't matter as I would not know

    how to fix. Just tell me it is an easy fix . I am gonna take it back to them but

    hope it's a quick minor find so I can ride this holiday weekend.

    Default Lights

    I have the same Spyder as you do with all the same lights on it and it just sounds like the mechanic just pulled a couple of wires off

    Most likely a connection issue.

    Number One: 2008 Yellow GS SM5. I love my Spyder.
    Number Two: 2012 RT-S Limited (the poop colored RT) I still have Number One, but Some Girl made me buy Number Two...

    I just went down stairs and turned on the bike to see if it might have self healed, no it was still not lighting up like the other side. So I hit the " bright side with the palm of my hand and all 3 lights flickered, I repeated this, so that tells me it's a connection and not the fuse. I will go by there tomorrow and wait till they fix it. Thanks for your comments, both of you

    I find my fender running lights frequently vibrate out of their socket. If the other lights are getting some power from the same circuit, it's possible the disconnected bulb is the culprit, as I've seen it cause my channel lights to go out and flicker. Pop off your running lights and make sure the bulb is still plugged in.

    Very simple to do. Grab a small flat head screwdriver, slide it under the front section of the light where the little notch is and lift up/forward gently. The idea is to slide the enclosure backwards while lifting the front section up. Then the top comes off the wiring harness with a simple twist.

    I agree that it's a loose connection, the connection should be made under the fender tip light using posi-tap connectors. I would check there and make sure nothing is loose.
