RT-622 Lighting Question

[sschiltz]

A few weeks ago we purchased a used 2010 RT-622 trailer, no body had the hitch kit available!
Today the Hitch & wiring harness was finally installed on our 2011 RT.
Are the lights on the trailer supposed to match the bike?
I was expecting amber turn signals since it was on the trailer already!
But I get combination tail stop & turn.
So much for the matching trailer!!
What must be done to correct this?
Is it a bike issue or trailer issue?

I'm afraid you cannot correct or change it readily. The original trailer and trailer modules had matching lights. Those trailer modules were 6-wire, and so is your 2010 RT-622. During 2011 the trailer modules were changed to provide only 4-wire output. The 2011 and later trailers are only wired for 4-wire, correspondingly. A 2010 trailer will work with the later trailer modules, but only with combined turn/brake lights...as you have discovered. Without 5-wire or 6-wire output from the Spyder, you cannot get separate turn signals.

Thanks

Thanks for the info!
I was told all the RT-622's were the same! Don't believe all you hear!
So I should spend more time on the advanced search, the first time found nothing!
At least I don't have any issues then!!!
