Hello everyone,
New to this forum, new Ducati owner as well. Love the bike, started doing some tinkering after looking through a lot of threads on this forum. If this is not posted in the right place I apologize. I tried searching multiple forums and could not find anyone with this same issue. I am hoping it will save someone else the headache that I am dealing with now. Here is what's going on:
- Bought a used 1299s headlight off of someone to put on my 2016 959 , light is in great shape. Testing it on the bench, all of the lights work properly
- Wired it up according to the 1299s diagram and cross referencing it to the 959 wiring diagram(listed below)
Headlight Side - Bike Side
Red - White
Yellow - Yellow/Gray
Blue - Yellow
Green - Yellow/White
Black - Black
When I turn to ACC position, I get the pilot lights. When I start the bike, I get the low beams. Hi Beams will not come on with the bike running. My turn signals will not function properly either. I can get the left turn signal to activate but I cannot shut it off unless I shut the bike off. Brake lights work properly. If I put the original halogen headlight back in, everything works correctly again. I cannot for the life of me figure this out. It seems like the bike needs to see some resistance in order to activate the hi beams and for the signals to work. I have tried using a load resistor going from the hi beam wire ( Yellow/Gray) to the ground (Black), I also tried putting a load resistor on the low beam wire (Yellow/White) to the ground. If I take the 12 volt wire (White) and jump it to the Hi beam wire, the hi beams will activate as well. I am really hoping someone can help me out with this one! Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Once I get it working, I will clean up everything and put her back together but until then, she sits in pieces in the garage.
