• 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.

No reverse lights?

I have stock 2014 RT and the reverse lights are not working.
Stuff I have done to trouble shoot.
  • Removed the tail end of the Spyder to expose the wiring harness.
  • Started the Spyder with emergency brake on and put it in reverse.
  • Unplugged the bulb and checked it. (looks great)
  • Used a volt meter on the bulb socket to test for power. (nada)
  • Inspected the fuses but I don't see one for "just reverse"
  • Re-seated the harness
  • Tested all the other lights.

I have no power to the either left or right socket.
All other lights are working just fine. Running, brake, turn, etc.
The Spyder runs fine, we had a 200 mile weekend trip last week.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

It goes into reverse OK, right? If so, there is either a loose wire, broken wire, or cluster problem. The backup lights are powered directly from the cluster. There is no fuse or relay in the circuit. It's probably time for the dealer to be involved.
 
I got it. It was a loose wire in the left side harness and it's fixed. I replaced the connector and it's good to go.
Thanks.
 
How nice...

Simple and glad you found it. :clap::bowdown:for following up with your results...:thumbup:
