I took off my fairing to paint it and put it back on. I then put some led lights on it. Now I turned the key and dashboard. I pushed on the Cluster and the gauges started working. I notice my tail lights are not working. On the right fuse block, the second to the last fuse makes the third to the last fuse come on. I'm need help.

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.
No tail lights or brake lights after installing LED's - any ideas?
- Thread starter Accord911
- Start date
Just a thought, might not help any, but it could be worth a shot... 
LED's will only work if they're connected with the polarity wired the right way, so if you've reversed the polarity on them by installing them backwards, they won't work. Maybe you should try swapping them around?!

Maybe you should clarify the above statement, as it does not read well. Are these new front LED driving lights? Did you cut into wires and splice things? Fuse block statement is about as confusing as the other statements.

There has been some misunderstanding here about what the Can Bus is and isn't on our Spyders, and what it affects. CAN refers to Controller Area Network. Can Bus generally refers to a communication protocol among various components on the Spyder. Here is a overview of the network.
Brake lights, tail lights, and headlights all are powered by 12 volt lines controlled by switches and relays. Turn signals are the only lights tied into the Can Bus, and then not directly. TS are operated by the cluster which...

So, unless the added lights are turn signals, no effect from CANBUS.
I'm sorry, I read it and it wasn't clear. I took all my panels off to get painted at the paint shop, then I took off my fairing to paint it because it has a mold for single din stereo. I had led lights on my bike, I took them off to replace them because they were old. I tapped into the brake wire because my new lights had a brake wire so when I apply the brakes everything turns red. Next I put my fairing back on the bike and turned the key, the dash didn't light up so I shook the wires behind the Cluster and everything started working but my tail lights, head lights and brake lights. I then unplugged the led lights but nothing changed. I tested the fuses on the right side of the bike and fuses F1 and F2 are reading 3 volts. My old led lights were on F1 but they don't work on F1 because of the voltage so I put them on another constant fuse and they work fine. Also, I took that apart from the front to the back looking for a wire that's shorting, I found nothing touching or unplugged. Please help.
Ps: The added lights do have a turn signal wire and the turn signals work fine with the led lights on both sides. I was looking at my bike this morning and I remembered, I added another antenna to my radio and there was a flat silver wire on the right side that was bolted to the old antenna ground and now it's not connected. Will this affect my lights?

I grounded the strap but no lights came on.
