"Error" and all dash lights flashing, Fan Turns on, No Start...

Keep us informed..
My educated guess is the horn caused your problem not being wired through a relay. Modern electrics and CAN BUS are fragile.

The soundbomb mini is advertised at pulling 5 amps, and the bigger one is said to be 20 amps.

Apparently on the KTM 1190, hooking the mini straight to the harness causes a fault because the bike only expects a 1 amp draw from the horn.

Looking at our wiring diagram, it looks like the horn is wired directly to the dash, without a fuse in between.

srikz, check your fuses first. Hopefully it is just a blown fuse. Whenever you get it fixed, you should put a relay on that horn.
 
I am 100% certain that this is a fuse issue! I had the exact same thing happen to me. It's the fuse block underneath the right hand cover, 10 amp fuse.

I was running my high beam, and heated grips on high (they draw more current than the OEM ones), and managed to blow my fuse when riding home in a rain storm. Huuuge mistake continuing on as long as I did, I should have stopped to notice not only was my dash dead, but none of my lights worked!
 
They will if you push them to. It's a published TSB, so should be fairly easy to get it covered.

SMC Sheffield worked with ducati to diagnose and repair - ducati covered parts with no quibble, which were dashboard and coils. Shop assumption is that the new coils are updated since 2013 model and it will have been fitted with those - anyone able to verify?
 
The first driving lamps I hung would blow the display fuse and disable the lights. This fuse was located in the left knee fuse box. Eventually I wired in a capacitor. Much later I did the right thing and bought Kuksol light kit
 
Yes, that happened immediately when I pressed the horn button. Now waiting for the dealer to get back to me on this issue.
How could a simple aftermarket horn cause so much pain?!

The horn of hyper is one of reasons. The burned track on pcb is GND of horn.

So bad, I hope your bike is not out of warranty because the cost is 1200$ for the dashboard.

Got a call from the dealer today, it was indeed the mini sound bomb which was messing up the electronics. Asked them to remove it and revert to stock. They are gonna install the original stock horn and test everything again.
Hoping it just ends there and nothing is fried internally. Does anyone know where I can buy a compatible relay, the dealer was not sure. A loud horn is really helpful on Indian highways.

You were 100% right! they informed me that the fuse was blown. Everything back to stock now and 10kms of holiganish reckless riding in heavy traffic back home, and she is running just fine.
 
Yup- My experience is that when everything goes dark it's a fuse or battery connection. It gets ugly when some bits function and others cut out.
 
*Cannot find that there are any recalls for my VIN*

All, for various reasons, I didn't ride at all last year. I know, a shame. So I decided that I'll get the bike ready and ride this year. So I checked this thread. Since the last time I was on the forums, it looks like Ducati has identified the problem and has a fix.

I went to ducatiusa.com and entered by VIN. It finds the bike (actually has wrong color) but no active recalls. I would think that it would have listed the throttle issue and the fix identified in this thread? Help! 2013 hyperstrada here.

Its not a recall. Its a service bulletin.

Great- thanks! I figured it was something like that. I'm not as well versed in this stuff as most of you. Do you happen to have the number for the throttle one? I want to be "armed" when I speak to the dealership. I'm not under warranty any longer. Thanks!

Any service bulletin should be covered regardless of warranty.
 
Ok folks long tread. I have a 16 939 and have just over 1500 miles on it. Perfect so far, in fact perfect fun bike. It seems most of these issues (although I have not read this entire thread0 are 821's. Correct?

As far as I know, it's all 821. Issue is apparently easy to resolve and certainly doesn't affect everyone (was never a recall). Note I'm not one of the more knowledgeable posters so I could be wrong.

It seems to me that most 821s have held up well.
