Title: Are gauges on IE monster repairable??
Post by: mr.freezer on December 27, 2014, 07:53:27 AM
Hi guys..  I have problem with Turn signal switch, which is integrated into dash... Can somebody help me how to fix it?? If I buy new gauges is it able to swap it without swapping ecu and keys??

Bikes with immobilizers... Not really

Otherwise sure like my 2000 900... And in that bike the flasher relay is under the seat

But I'm guessing it's newer and its cooked right into the board of the dash

Try these guys.  If not, there are two other options.  Have your ECU flashed to kill the immobilizer and get a used or aftermarket cluster or run an independent flasher circuit.

just by reflashing the ECU and "deleting" the function

and what about resoldering imo from old dash to new???

If I'm right IMO is circled on photo...  If I would buy good dash.. and resolder IMO it should work... or am I wrong?? or can somebody tell me where is flasher relay??(https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10393774_10204333299185201_4778390026520581974_n.jpg?oh=ed42d0e8fa9feb4db2c2ad6b6ab9ee6c&oe=5568485D)

I can't find it right now, but I SWORE someone disabled the flashers by clipping a couple terminals off one of the chips. I want to say it was a suzyj post, not positive.

I'd reflash before trying to ruin two circuit boards getting the imo disabled or changed, but I know my soldering capability is limited to big wires.

suzyj disabled the blown blub detector of the circuit, here (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=56614.75). That IC you circled is a surface mount IC, not something easily soldered off/on again without proper tools and know how.

One could rewire and run a good ole' fashioned relay.

I was thinking about soldering old fashioned relay... but if somebody could help me with resoldering IMO, I would do it that wayy..

suzyj would likely have some valuable input on how to work on the board.

I must point out that even if suzyj says it's possible, the level of difficulty may be quite high.
She's got an astonishing skillset.

IIRC, another member here, Grrrly, replaced the flasher relay unit after the original one overheated and de-soldered itself.
