2008 GS Battery REplaced
I replaced by Spyder battery with one from the local Can Am dealer. Got everything put back together and when I turn the key on.....nothing.....dash is dead as if the battery isn't there. Is there a video somewhere to show me if I got it back together properly?
HELP!

WORSE THOUGHT......
did you get the polarity correct........??????
please check and see.... then check your fuse box for fried fuses.... otherwise i'd say the battery was not good from the start...

Battery replacement
Update: The lights on the front of the fenders gave a little blip when I turned the key. Still nothing on the dash.
Maybe the battery just needs charging?? I put a battery tender on it.
I'm fairly positive the polarity is correct. Haven't checked the fuses yet.

Checked all the fuses (in Frunk and Under the Seat) and they are OK.
Rechecked connections and Red/Positive with two wires connected correctly.
Black/Negative connected correctly.
Battery Tender shows solid red Charging light and blinking green Storage light.
Still nothing showing up on the dash console.

Little checking..!!
if you have jumper cables hook it up to the car and see if it comes to life. If it does the battery is needing a charge which a tender will not do. If it does not then there is some missing/bad connection. Could be the ignition switch or faulty ground...let us know..

Battery replacement
Hubby got home from being out of town. He deduced that the battery the Can-Am Dealer sold me for $153.00 has a bad cell in it. Back to the store I go tomorrow.

What's the difference between a "BS" and the one I replaced which didn't have the BS on it?
Thanks
