Ducati really had their head up their a$$ when they wired these things.  Most of the newer duc  FI bikes have two relays... but unfortunately, not for redundancy.  I was in the process of building a sensible wiring harness for my 1000ss... but then I switch to carbs.  Now the bike is better in every way!

If you still have wires to the headlight you can put a multimeter to it.  You can also check continuity at fuse controling the headlights/tailights.

I've had the same thing happen on my old monster, and that is how I fixed it too...
Believe me, the more advanced the Duc's have gotten, the more complicated this stuff is.  I wish WD40 could fix problems on these new electronic systems!
