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.
Need to replace the switch under front trunk on my Spyder RT - help?

Just want to know what osnels I have to take off to get to it
Dunno if we got different switches here in Aus than those you got over there, but here Down Under, those RT's with the combined Park Brake/Frunk Opener switch that some pre-2014 models have, there's been a whole raft load of failures in the Frunk Opener switch portion of that double duty switch!! And it's almost always the Frunk Opening switch that becomes 'hit & miss', working maybe once out of a hundred tries?!? It's got to the stage that those who can't just put up with only using the key, &/or those who want all their Spyder's features to work, are replacing the double action switch with two single action switches instead!! That's not such a hard or expensive thing to do, especially if you use non-OE switches - you can get switches that fit & match the look on e-Bay, they just don't have the symbols on the button; and once that double duty switch is replaced with two individual switches, very few seem to ever have switch issues with the frunk opener again (or at least so far!) :dontknow:
But it is certainly worthwhile making sure all the other components of the electrical frunk opening system are working first.... there's a few things that can go wrong & they are usually an easier fix than replacing the dash mount double duty switch! :thumbup:

Ty, what I'm trying to get is what pieces have to come off to access that in the frunk, so I can get a better look at it. Ty

IF......you can open the frunk with the key, I think you are wasting your time......and might make things worse instead of better in the process.
Your time would be better spent riding.......or polishing......or taking a nap.
Done.
