Title: Some electrical expert advice needed... Post by: S4R_On_SXM on January 10, 2009, 11:40:07 AM Hello all fellow Ducatisi [thumbsup]
I have run into a bit of an issue with my 2004 S4R and I have limited access to electrical schematics so perhaps someone here can help. This morning my spedo quit working so I rode home to diagnose the problem. Found that in addition to the spedo, the horn and the brake light were also not working. Obviously this leads to the 10A fuse in the fuse bay...but the fuse is fine. Apparently, when I latched the seat...I crushed the red and white wire leading to the tail-light. I have an aftermarket LED with integral turn indicators for a tail-light. Two questions. For those who have a schematic...would a loss of this wire (I am assuming it is to the brake lamp) lead to a loss of the horn and spedo based on the schematic?? If not this, then is there a point in the electical system where all three meet which would lead to the symptoms I described? Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks ;D Title: Re: Some electrical expert advice needed...

or You can download the 2005 S4R PDF owners manual and go to page 317 from the link below. The 2004 PDF doesn't have the schematics. The 2005 schematics "should" be close enough for this. http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/service/manuals/2005.jhtml?family=manuals (http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/service/manuals/2005.jhtml?family=manuals) |
