• 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.

Turn signals are reversed on Freedom trailer

I purchased a Freedom trailer and a BRP wiring harness. All worked well except the trailers turn signals flash opposite the turn signals on my 2019 F3L. (trailer right turn signal and bikes left turn signal) The wiring harness is plug and play. I read somewhere this was a issue for someone else but couldn’t find the post. My first guess is that the trailers tail light connection’s are revered. Any comments.

You have two choices:

On the Spyder end you can cut and reconnect wires or disassemble connectors and move pins. I prefer disassembling connectors.

On the trailer end, if there's a 4-pin Deutsch connector where the tongue wire enters the trailer body, then it's very easy to disassemble the connector and move pins.
 
Bert, thanks for your reply.

After a few days of research and thinking about this issue I decided to begin testing the wiring harness under the seat and work my way back to determine where the problem was. I tested the wires under the seat based on their color coding and all checked out ok. I then did the same to the plug at the hitch and again all checked out ok. This made me think that the Freedom trailers turn signal wires were reverse. I was able to reach up to the tail light connections, without removing any trailer panels, and reverse the wires which did result in all my lights and signals working properly.

Now on to my next project.

:joke: SAME THING happened to me when I bought my new freedom trailer this spring! Turn signals on trailer were reversed. Service tech kept trying to blame it on the wiring harness... Until they got an adapter and plugged it into one of the guy's truck and it did the same thing. LOL Finally one of the service guys just reached under it and reversed the plugs. Problem solved!
