Headlight and taillight stopped working - Ducati.ms

Swodi · May 4th, 2009, 9:52 am

I was playing around with making my own tail tidy, disconnected the turn signals by unplugging them and now the headlight and taillight won't come on at all. I plugged the turn signals back in and the headlight and taillight still don't work.

The brake light will come on and the headlight will flash when I flick the pass button, but I can't get the headlight or taillight to come on like they should.

Any ideas?

Sonofabitch...it was the fuse.

I'm 32 years old, been driving for 17 years, riding for 8. This is not my first bike, or even my first Ducati. This is, however, the first time I've had a blown fuse on a vehicle. I knew Ducatis were tempermental, but to blow a fuse with only 267 miles in the clock? Wow. This is going to be a fun relationship.

I was playing with the lights one day as well and lost power but I didn't blow a fuse. I'm still not sure why but by pulling a fuse and reinserting it everything was good again.

Be happy it is not english as they only put smoke in their cables instead of copper and when you get a hole in the plastic all the smoke pours out ...along with all your power
