Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Checking the fuses

The main fuse box (1) and the secondary one (2) are located in the tool tray; to reach the fuse box remove the seat as specified under sect. 5 - 3 "Removal of the seat".

The fuses are accessed by removing the cover, which shows the ampere ratings and mounting locations.

For ampere ratings, refer to the chapter "routing of wiring on frame", sect. 6 - 1.

Important

Before replacing a damaged fuse with a new one of the same rating, identify the cause of the problem.

A blown fuse can be identified by the breakage of inner filament (a).

Important

Switch the ignition key to off before replacing a fuse to avoid possible short circuits.

Warning

Never use a fuse with a rating other than the specified value. Failure to observe this rule may damage the electric system or even cause fire.

Besides the fuses inside the box, the motorcycle is also provided with one 30 a fuse (3), located near the voltage regulator (in the electrical components compartment) that protects the electronic rectifier (sect. 6 - 2, Rectifierregulator).
