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.
Not bleeping on downshift, check trams light on and off

Need some more info to help
Do you have SE5 or manual? Checked your oil level lately? What do you mean by "bleeping" & "clicking?"

I am sorry. Its a se5 and yes I did check oil.
Bleeping is when downshifting, engine will give a little gas to raise the rpm a little and clicking, when I turn key to on position, there is usually a series of clicking while spyder goes thru it's pre-starting routine. Of course, this may not have anything to do with the problem but something I noticed.
Check trans light is coming on and off.
I had bleeper not working before here and there but not continuously like this.

It's actually a throttle blipper, not a bleeper. It was under the impression that it didn't raise the rpm, it just cuts the throttle momentarily when shifting, like rolling off the throttle on a manual, but much, much quicker. Normally it is almost imperceptible. I would have a dealer check out the trans light and shifting/blipper function. The symptoms may not be related. As to the clicking, the main sound when starting is the fuel pump running. It must be working, or your Spyder would not run. I suppose there could be a solenoid like the purge valve that is sticking or has failed. Hard to pinpoint a cause here until it causes some kind of operational symptom. You might mention it to the dealer, but I wouldn't worry about it for now.

Actually it is a "blipper" on downshifts. It opens the throttle a fixed amount, like 12 degrees or something. Doesn't match revs like the fancy automobile dual clutch transmissions. Anyway, it's done for two reasons. First to help with the smooth engagement of the clutch as it re-engages, just like you would do with a manual motorcycle shift. The second is to keep the engine revs from dropping too far for too long causing the centrifugal clutch to start disengaging. If you had both clutches disengaging at the same time and re-engaging at the same time, you'd get a crazy overall engagement.

That makes sense. Thanks for the enlightenment.

????? No such code listed, either Spyder or OBD2. Are you sure you read it right?
On the way to Bert's megamall all hell broke loose.
Vss, abs, dps, check engine and limp mode. I stopped and rebooted and no problem now except for occasional check trans light and blipper or bleeper is working again...
Spyder actually runs better than before. Idk...
I used some brake cleaner on engine to get rid of oil gunk before all this. Probably not related but I will never use that near any electrical plugs again...
Relays seem to be a bit loose every time I open fuse box so more foam is in order and hopefully that will do the trick.

All symptoms are gone like nothing happened...
No more fault light, bleeper works and runs same or better than before(may starbrite fuel additive is working??? On 3rd tankful with it).
Loose relays? Brake cleaner fluid getting in sensors? This spyder doesn't like me?
I don't know but all is good. Thank you guys.

If you can't hear the click when you turn the ignition on then the blipper isn't working. There is a troubleshooting sequence for checking that in the workshop manual, but everything ends in "...Replace the blipper".
The TCM could be faulty, but it is more likely to be the blipper.
It is a pain to replace, so you should get your dealer to do it.
