    Heated Grips Not Working

    It appears I will be taking the bike in for a warranty issue. The heated grips switch lights up and will cycle through the different settings. However, there is no heat on the grips.

    My first WAG would be the plugs. Most things like that when checked were plugs not fully seated or an individual wire not seated in the plug. One time I found a wire in a welder that had never had the insulation removed before the pin was crimped to it. Most problem solvers have gray hair. Good luck.

    I will never own a bike without them. Fortunately they aren't that difficult to install. Just remember people--DON'T WIRE THEM DIRECTLY TO YOUR BATTERY. Use a relay.

    Not the fuse. I take it in to the dealer Saturday to have them check it out.
    I don't use any heated gear myself. And as you stated, it came with the price of the bike.

    Why all the heated stuff

    Just my opinion so don't flame me...but if you need all this heated stuff, grips, seats, clothes, etc...Why not just buy a car and stay warm...I have had this stuff on previous bikes and never used any of it....Guess I am a "whimp" but at the ripe old age of 73, I never ride in cold weather anyhow.....Michigan gets damn cold, but on those days I use my car!!!!

    No flaming here...but as I stated, the heated grips came with the bike and I did use them on my 07 wing. I ride year round with only fingerless gloves and the heated grips and baker hand wings do a nice job of keeping my hands warm and not have to wear bulky heavy gloves.
