nuevototem Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Hello all! Fist I LOVE my v11... jaja today when I remove the key the oil dashboard light keep on... I test removing one by one the fuses and it goes off when I remove the 30A fuse. Everything else works ok.... anyone have experience with this problem?
BramF Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Might be a relay thats stuck on, letting through electricity.
nuevototem Posted May 6, 2019 Author Posted May 6, 2019 the 30A fuse looks a little melted (like is fat) but is working ok... and contacts looks ok (will chekc again later) I test with other 30A fuse and same problem.... Thanks!!!
docc Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 The relay in that circuit is #2, second from the front . Also, since that bulb lights by grounding, check / clean / secure your main ground from the battery to the back of the gearbox on the right. If your electrical system is finding alternate ground paths, bad things can happen!
Kiwi_Roy Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Another remote possibility is the wire is broken behind the keyed ignition switch and is shorting to the other The ignition switch block is held on by two Phillips screws up from below. 1
Kiwi_Roy Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 On further reflection I think it is a faulty regulator, the 30 Amp fuse is back feeding through the regulator and providing a supply to the idiot lights. I think you would find the neutral on as well if out of gear Try unplugging the two pin connector at the regulator, I suspect it might be livening up the red/black wire
nuevototem Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 hello I am thinking the same about the regulator... neutral light is not affected... only oil, petrol and battery is permanently turn on... when i return home i will move side by side the steering and check if the lights turn on / off....
Kiwi_Roy Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Before you scrap the regulator do you have an additional ground to it? all the current has to pass back through the ground connections. The small black ground wire is not adequate, any Voltage lost there is Voltage lost to the battery. A short wire or piece of Aluminium strap (similar metals) from the regulator case to a timing cover screw has solved many a problem, make sure you apply some grease. As Docc says the 30 Amp fuse should show no sign of discolouration, dark colouring is a sign of overheating due to resistance. 1

Hello I think that the regulator is the problem... anyway will check the ground and all... THANKS!
Kiwi_Roy Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 If you think about replacing the regulator try to find one directly connected so that it doesn't rely on the headlight relay. The Ducati Energia is a series regulator, some owners change to a shunt type but thats your call.
