• 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.

BRP - Trailer wiring module HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sure hope one of you is a LOT smarter than me.

I installed the hitch and wiring module a week or 2 ago and it worked fine. No trailer, but I used a circuit tester to show there was voltage in the right places at the right time on the connector.

Yesterday I was wiring up a pigtail for a trailer, and I must have shorted out a circuit on the hitch wiring. Long story short, the bike works fine, all its lights work but there is NO power at the hitch connector now. I went through all of the fuses and they're all good. I dug down to the hitch connectors under the seat and everything is still solidly seated.

I thought the module was supposed to insulate the bike's electronics from the trailer hitch wiring but mine is belly up at the moment. So...
- Is there an invisible secret fuse I need to dig to?
- Is there a magic reset button I need to find?
- Do I need to repurchase a new hitch module? ($250 for the module, $500,000 for the divorce)

Thanks in advance - you guys usually know what idiots like me did wrong. Or, at least you're dependable for laughing at me.
 
Check fuse #4 in the right fuse box. It is a yellow 10 amp. Reminder it is the Spyder right not yours.

That did it! Can't believe I missed that when reading the fuses. You saved me at least $250 or maybe even $500,000. Instead, I'll buy you a beer if you ever get through Birmingham.

Lesson 1 - always check a fuse, don't just look at it.

Follow up question - what could I have done that left Nanny screaming P2DEB?

P2DEB does not exist. The closest I could find is P20EB. That is a fault with the Main Relay. As far as I can tell that is Relay R5 in the left fuse box. Make sure all the relays are firmly seated and see if that fixes it.
 
Apparently I've invented a new nanny. Code. Everything seems to work, but that's the code. Next weekend I'll remove and reseat all the relays and fuses.

Conclusion

First, thanks for all the help I got here.

Last night I pulled and reseated all the fuses and relays, started the motor and the code still showed. So I turned it off and ate dinner ... and the problem went away. I've heard of the magic walk and now I'm a believer.

I suppose I'm wrong about the P2DEB code, but the left corners of the "0" sure looked square. The code didn't come up on my Spyder phone app, so it must have been the P20EB like everyone is saying.

Thanks again.
