Literally loading my 09 Stelvio on the trailer towing up to Asheville to ride for a week around Nanatahala, Hot Springs and Roan Mtn. Turn the key and see red triangle and ECU alert on dashboard. Bike was fine 10 mins before so jumped on the forums and determined might be a loose wire or similar.
With the key on, turned the handlebars from left to right, no change, wiggled the right coil lead, then wiggled the left coil lead and ah ha, hear an electric switching noise, alerts go out, everything fine (but of course everything is not fine).
After more testing, find it is not the coil lead that is the issue but a wire collector harness (I do not know what else to call it) but with the key on and I move this harness, see pic, then I hear the same noise as when you initially turn the key on, the tach needle swinging up and all lights come on. In this event though the key is already on? Now the alert does not come on, no doubt will again though, but the short is most definitely associated with this bung of wires.
There is a collection of 20+ wires here so not sure where to start in determining the which wire(s) are involved or even what this termination of so many wires is for. Any thoughts on the topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Robert M.
