Can anyone tell me where the reverse actuator is located and can this be replaced at home?

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.
Where is the reverse actuator and can it be replaced at home?

If is on an RT SM5, you look right next to the oil filter and you'll see a cable attached to a soleniod, that is it. There was a recall on a few models. Mine was not one of the serial number's recorded, but it was out and covered under warranty. IMHO, you should be able repair it yourself.

thanks for the come back, I guess maybe I should wait to see if it is covered. Mine is a manuel shift.

Are you sure you didn't just blow fuse F7 because of a bad trailer module?

My trailer module blew the fuse and the reverse actuator. My Best warranty covered replacement of the trailer wiring on the Spyder and on the trailer itself along with the reverse actuator. So my response to the OP would be the reverse actuator is located at your dealer!

When the reverse actuator goes out your Spyder will not go into reverse.
If you ever need a actuator, you can buy it at Jaycorp Technologies, same actuator cost at jay tech, is $12.90
BRP gets $79.00 for it.

why is it that the trailer lights go out when it's a reverse actuator?

The trailer module and the reverse actuator share the same fuse.

My local mechanic just fixed mine and from what he told me, it was a simple tasks. I had ordered a new one but he was able to fix the one I had. On mine, the housing plate is busted, so I am ordering a new one. But in the meantime, he got me up and running for less than $300.
