Left fender lights stopped working? Any ideas on what to check? And how to determine fault codes?

[ThomasBSpyder]

I have a 2023 RT Limited and hit a raccoon on the left side. It threw a fault code during the incident, but I do not know how to determine the fault code. The second question is the left fender running lights stopped working. Do you have any ideas on what to check? I need to figure out how to fix that problem.

You should be able to access some fault codes throught your display. From your home screen, scroll down to settings, then to # fault codes. I believe there are codes that are only readable by a dealer technician, but as long as you didn't go into limp mode, I think you may be OK for those.

As for your damage, you're definitely missing a lot of plastic that goes around the radiator and it looks like it the rad itself maybe bent. Unless you have above average mechanic ability, I would suggest a dealer inspection & insurance claim. Sorry, but glad you're OK.

Did the poor little raccoon survive?

No, he did not survive. Now, I need to get it put back together and figure out why the fender light does not work.

Thank you. I tore it down and identified all the needed parts. Yes, the radiator and fan housing are messed up. All parts should arrive by the first of the week. Then, I can start putting everything together.

What, the Spyder, or the Raccoon?

Did you find your light problem? Was it a bulb or broken wire?

I have not identified the light issue yet. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Wouldn't the repairs be covered under your comp insurance? Most companies wouldn't ding you for that.

They are, and the insurance has paid very well. However, there is not a dealer within 100 miles of my home. I don't want to leave the bike with them as it would take six months to get it back. The dealer I bought it from could not put it together correctly from the crate. They agreed to let me do self-repair.
