• 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.

Rear shock adjustment warning light

I went to adjust my rear shock on my 2011 RT limited this morning. It gave me an orange light that stated Manual settings.
Any idea?
Thanks

The system cannot add/adjust the ride height automatically.
This usually happens for one of two reasons:
1. The compressor can not add air because it can't be started
2. The ride height sensor is returning bad info due to a missing bolt in the sensor link

There can be other reasons but those are the top two.
 
There are several reasons your system isn't working. The horn and the compressor are on the same fuse, so if the horn doesn't work, check the fuse. That's the easy one.

Unfortunately, the OEM compressor is cheap crap. Lots of them have been replaced. At the present time I am one of the victims. My compressor was making a lot of noise and now the compressor motor runs, but it doesn't pump air. I'm going to replace it with a Viair compressor. Here is an excellent write up on how to do it by NoJive, http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...ith-Viair-097c

Also, you should check to see if the system holds air. Use a tire gauge on the schrader valve located under the seat. Make sure you don't add more than 80psi if you do add air.
 
Thank you

Awesome... thank you Grandpot. I appreciate your input

Correct PSI for Rear shock?

I actually think I have a bad shrader valve. Go figure... So now I must see how much air to put in once I can get home and look at my manual.

Thanks again all,
Rich
 
My 2012 RTS has been in the shop for three weeks for a leak in the air system. Turns out that the check valve after the compressor is not seating, causing the air to leak back through the compressor.
