    Heated Grips took a crap.

    First it started with the left, then both went out. The light on the switch, which has 3 lights indicating lo-hi, keeps blinking. Any suggestions would be helpful. The upside is the bike had built in heated gear ports, thank you Dwayne.

    Might be obvious, but have you checked for loose wires behind the switch?

    Yes, also checked amphenol right under switch. What I didn't do is take the seat off and trace it out, which is what l do tomorrow.

    The right grip started working again today, the left nothing. Now when I ride I feel like I had a stroke with the left hand cold and the right hand warm.

    It might be easier to move to Florida than to diagnose the problem.

    That is an option, I have the seat off and I'm tracing out the wires, this should be fun.

    JUST FOR YOUR INFO:

    Left heated grip wire is black with a green tracer, which is getting no power right now
    Right grip is the White wire with the green tracer, which is getting 11.9 volts

    Good news and bad news. Good news is by simple deduction it wound up being a faulty grip. Swapped out the connectors at the location in the video above and the right still worked fine but the left was dead. Bad news is the part, just for the left grip is $216.00
