It's not the remote if it does a single function OK. It's a broken wire/s in the trunk's right side hinge area. The wires getting broken in this harness is common.
Gents,
This is a very common problem. It's happened to many Wings, most in the same exact area of the trunk lid harness on the right side. Mine did the same exact thing when we purchased it back in December. It's also an '08. When I asked here about the problem, I was told it most likely was the right hinge area harness. So, I took it in for warranty and told the service writer to tell the tech that it's possible that it's the right hinge harness.
Well, they called me the next day and said all is well and it's fixed. I did not have time to check it out and drove the bike away. I got it home and it was blowing fuses for the trunk lock controller. Well, it never did that before that tech got his hands on the bike so, I untaped the "repair" job that he did and found eight soldered wires. He did such a poor job of insulating things and, soldering at that, that wires were touching each other and grounding out.
So, I repaired his repair and now, all works well. My point here is this. If, you're bike's under warranty, you can take it in and hopefully your local tech is way better at repairing the problem, if that's the problem or, you can save a ton of time, transport and pickup if, you can handle simple solder jobs. You can tell real easy if that's the problem by untaping that harness in that right hand hinge area and take a good look at all the wires. It they're broken, it's a very simple fix and should take at the most, around 1/2 to completely solder, re-tape and re-install in the little clips for routing. Mine's not been a problem since I re-repaired it a few months ago. Hope this helps.
