    Ducati monster electrics issue

    So one day while out on a ride my fuse for indicators and fuse for tail lights and brakes light popped, replaced them and they popped again.

    ive now got new indicators rated for my system, new fuses and relay. however my indicators refuse to work, and my rear lights is permanently stuck in the brakelight on state.

    can someone perhaps provide some insight on something ive missed? im trying to avoid ripping all the cables out and checking for faults which has been suggested to me.

    A cable might be earthed somewhere. Check anywhere cables might rub against the frame.

    Have the bike idling on a stand and go around wiggling any cables you can get to. If you wiggle the right wire and the fuse blows, or the lights start to work normally, you've found the culprit.

    Check behind the dash/around the forks, where the wires rub against the forks/steering head/frame etc.

    Electrical problems are always a bit of a b**check.
    You can however get surprisingly far by checking
    thorough methodical and slow...
    Follow everything from one end to the other and look carefully. ..
    Like mentioned above...
    You probably rubbed some wires somewhere and they are shortening. ..

    Take your time...
    You will find it
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
