Picked up my spare relay

[bjt]

Not everyone has troubles with the relays or the fuses. I've got 23,000 miles without burning out a relay and my wife has over 25,000 miles on her Spyder with the original relays.

If you change the relay and it works that was the problem.

Your wisdom is absolutely undeniable!

Spare Relay?

LaMonster,
Why did you buy a spare relay?

Spyder508 - A true HOW 2 fan of yourz. Also, I'm currently stationed in DC. Will you be coming for Rumbling Thunder?

WHACCHA GONNA DO

Wanna sell a couple of yor spares...you guys got me worried:shocked:

My Spyder finally blew a relay. Beautiful weather, itching for a spyder ride, waiting for it to warm up and I decided to check the hi beams; click, end of fun: the headlights went out, the messages started streaming; ABS FAULT, DPS FAULT, VSS FAULT, LIMP MODE. So I shop around for said relay; Advanced auto knows nothing, O'reilly Auto parts knows nothing, NAPA auto parts knows nothing, and the internet was not helping. Finally found cross reference at Delcity.com for Song Chuan and only 2.38 apiece, you just have to do 25.00 minimum order, so I get 11 of them.
Now when I installed it, my headlights are back but I still get fault codes. Do I have to do a battery cable disconnect to reset the fault codes? I do hope it is that simple. Help me my Spyder family!
Love ya'll!:2thumbs::chat:

Depending on your RS model, you may want to have 1-2 relays with you. :doorag:

relays

You can order these relays for less than $6.00 each from a company called digikey based in Thief River Falls Mn. They will ship to your house and you can order and pay for them on line. I had one go that caused the DPS to quit working as well as the digital readout on the dash. total cost $22.00 inxlusinf shipping and tax (to ont canada). One relay at dealer is $29.00 taxes in.

Just 60 miles northwest of Dirt Town, they make batteries and all sorts of stuff like that.

I need to stop reading threads for entertainment, I now fear relay problems & think I need some spare relays (just in case), Anyone know what relays the 2011 RT-S SE5 needs? I'll get some just to have, but maybe the engineers switched to better ones in 2010-2011?:roflblack:

Good Deal on Relays

:clap:Just received my order of relays from guy two threads above me([email protected]). Email from him said they were also available on EBay. Really good deal, so got some extras. You can not go wrong with $3 each. Ordered six with $5 for shipping for a total of $23. I could only get two Duralast ones for that price locally. Should have spares for a long time!:2thumbs:

Are these compatible for all Spyders? I have a 2011 RT-S SE5 & what is the part#

 

[3Willie]

Relay number is VJ28-95F24-S01

The part number on the OEM and replacement relay is in the title above. I do not know if it will work on the RT models. I wrote down the number from the relays in my 2008 SE5 Spyder since I did not see specifics in the operators guide. I did ask if he carried the 30A breaker for the Spyder, but he did not. You may want to contact him to see if he has what you need.

:joke:I had emailed him prior to posting on here and he told me to ask on here because he did not know. I'll check and see if they match your numbers. Thanks.

Ok..my very first problem with my Spyder..Hoping to get some answers here. I just had the dealer install the HID light set that was on special here (Xenon)..When I picked it up from the dealer I started it normally and it accelerated up to 5,000-6,000 and kept climbing. I immediately shut it down and tried starting again and it started normally and I drove it home. The next morning I went to start the Spyder and it did the same thing, zoomed up to 5,000-7,000 again and I shut it down. After 10-20 attempts to start it again, it finally started normally and I headed for the dealer...had to stop for gas on the way and went to start it and same thing happended again, rev up to 7k, shut it off, tried to start it again normally...30-40 times maybe...got fed up and let it sit for about 15 minutes. It finally started and I got it to the dealer. When the dealer tried to start it it did the same thing, reved up to 7k, shut it down and tried starting again...This time it wouldn't start at all even after sitting for a while. I haven't noticed anybody else having a problem after installing the HIDS but I'm wondering if it could be the relays????? It's still at the dealership waiting to be checked out and they tell me I'm gonna have to pay for an hours labor to hook it up to BUDS and if something's wrong I'm gonna have to rely on the warranties and/or pay the labor rate to get it fixed...What's wrong with this picture?...I bring a Spyder that's running pefectly to have the HID installed by the dealer, it messes up and they want me to pay to troubleshoot thier problem...Any ideas/suggestions...Thanks...Larry

Move your ballasts and check for stray grounds. I think the ballasts have to be isolated from the frame. All other grounds must be real good. If that doesn't do it, some of the experts here may be able to help further. You are getting EFI interference to your electronics from the fields given off by the ballasts, may have ground/switching issues, and may also have voltage related issues as the ballasts make their intial draw in combination with the high Spyder draw at startup.

Thanks Scotty...You da man:thumbup:

I'm not da man unless it works. This is not my area of expertise, but I have seen a lot of ballast related issues onother equipment, and a few on HIDs. I hope you can solve it simply.
