• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Digital Display 2010 RT

The Digital Display will not come on. Sometimes after riding for a few miles it will come on and work ok until I turn the spyder off and it sets for an hour or so. Everyone is saying it is the Mode switch, how do I test it?
 
By "will not come on"; do you mean that it remains completely blank, or are you seeing the startup screen?
If it's completely blank: you might just have a loose connection to it.
 
the back light comes on but that is it, I have check wiring I can not find a problem. I have removed the unit
 
does any one know the cost of a digital display or where I could find a used one.

Well Bernie, I can't help you regarding a used one. A new one is listed as $995.99. And you know by now that it's not your Mode Switch.

Troubleshooting wise, for intermittent operation of the display, the manual specifically calls out checks for power and ground. Keeping in mind I'm looking at a 2011 wiring diagram here, but if it was an intermittent power problem, perhaps you'd have more things not working than just the display. But you might want to ensure you don't have any intermittent connections on your fuses and Main Relay #2. On this diagram, power comes in on connector pin #8 to the display.

However, it appears that there is a dedicated ground from the display using pin 11 of the plug in connector, and going to a ground connection on the frame. Probably that one in front of the motor under the ECM and resonator. There's about a dozen wires all on that one bolt. Might want to clean and check that.

Edit: And now that you have it apart of course, you can inspect the pins in the connector, hose it down with electronic contact cleaner, plug it back in a see what happens. And according to the manual, you will need BUDS if you replace the cluster, in order to match the cluster to the ECM that's already installed in the machine. The engine may not start, otherwise. Also, the rear suspension sensor will need reset. It's not just a plug and play swap.

Wish I could help further. Good luck with it.
