• 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.

Dead circuit?

Well, I got my Spyder back after five weeks in the shop, last Friday. Hooked up the trailer and headed over to Birmingham for a couple of days. The trailer lights worked when I headed over there.
At some point, they stopped working. I found that the fuse had blown. I replaced it.
I took a volt meter to the connector where it comes out of the saddle bag. I have no power at that point. I checked it because I was not reading any voltage at the four wire trailer connector either.
I know that if I hook the connector to my trailer and turn the key on, I will be replacing the fuse again.
Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on?

Sounds like you have something going to ground in circuit. Look at the wiring to see if its rubbed through anywhere and contacting metal, or if the service guy moved some thing around and caused it to gorind out. Thats all I can think of.:pray::banghead:
 
You probably have a bad trailer module. A large number of them have failed. It will have to be replaced. The replacement may end up being the current square-4 configuration, and relocated. That would require plugging the hole for the old module, and modifying the connector on the trailer.
