Sorry if this is in the section.

Can anyone show me where is the turn signals relay on a 2001 ducati 900 supersport?

I'm looking at the parts list and diagrams but the only two places I see relay is the one next two the battery. The other ducati forum is no help.   [thumbsdown]

Please help

Not trying to be a dick but you should post in Tech with a more descriptive title.

"Need help locating turn signal relay on an 01 900ss"

You'll get better attention that way

Possibly an answer too ;)

Can't you just follow the wiring from the turn signal switch?

I believe the relay next to the battery is the turn signal relay.  It's piece #13 on Drawing #30 of the parts manual for your bike.  P/N 287.4.040.2A.  If you remove it and the bike still runs, that's the one!  The fuel injection and fuel pump relays are, I think, P/N 541.4.003.1A, piece #2 on Drawing #29.  They're smaller units than the other one.

If you didn't know, you can download the spare parts manual by going to www.ducati.com and clicking on the "dealer and services" tab, then select "maintenance" under the "service" pull-down.  This will pull up a new page, then just enter the relevant information in the fields under "spare parts catalogs" and you've got it.

Thank you!

Yeah i figure that too and got the drawing as you mentioned.  However, I did not do the pulling it out when the bike is running though.  I'll try that and see.  Again thank you.

The reason I asked was that I got some LED turn signals and they dont' work because of the low voltage of the LED.  I was thinking that I can change out the relay unit to the LED compatible ones to fix it.  However, what I ended up doing was went to Radio Shack and spent $5 on material to make me some LED resistors.

They work like a charm now!   [thumbsup]
