My OEM heated grips mysteriously quit working last week. I live in the north country and would like to have this issue behind me soon.
Checked the fuse-OK, Checked the relay-OK, all associated wiring seems to show continuity-OK.
The on/off/control switch has 2 plugs. The Shop Manual test for the heater switch is to have the switch on, and test for continuity between the brown wire on one plug, and the black/gray wire on the other plug. I had no continuity indicating a bad switch. Common sense would also dictate that when on there should be continuity somewhere. I could not get continuity with any combination of wires.
Anyway I purchased a used switch, and had the same continuity results. I kind of found that odd. I have not heard of any issues with the grip heater switch. Got me thinking, maybe I am missing something.
I guess, the only reason I posted this is to ask, has anybody had a grip heater switch quit working on them?
