Do not mount it in an enclosed area where heat can build up. In the cases where the instructions indicate the grips must be wired in "series", such as model ,, , ,, , , , , , , , , , you must be careful not to wire the grips incorrectly "parallel" or the resistor might build up so much heat that it melts or causes brown discoloration of the resistor case.
Excessive voltage can also be responsible for melting or discoloring-brown of the resistor, for example such as a faulty voltage regulator, using a power source that does not benefit from the voltage regulator, mounting it without a metal heat sink, mounting it with no air flow, or mounting it in an enclosed area where excess heat is trapped.
With all other models such as those that are designed to be wired in "parallel", i. Switch: The 3-position switch has a pivot mechanism inside the housing, which you cannot see. When the switch is moved to "Hi" or to "Lo" it connects the center terminal to the diagonally opposite terminal diagonally opposite to the toggle pole.
So when you move the toggle pole up, it sends the power down. When you move the toggle down, it sends the power to the upper terminal. The diagram packaged with the product is correct, even though it may look backwards.
Epoxy: You must use a slow-cure type 2-part epoxy because the grips get hot, and excessive heat can break down the lower temperature quick-epoxy. Weld epoxy is fine, or Devcon Plastic Steel Epoxy. If the seat heater is too hot for your application, trim the length of the heater one inch at a time. This will drop the wattage of the heater overall. Please note that you can only trim the edge opposite the wire exit.
Do not cut between the two bus bars, as that will cause the heater to stop functioning. Check the voltage being sent to the seat heater. This can be done with a multimeter at the pin and the barrel connector from the switch. For the multimeter, the pin is positive and the barrel connector is negative. With the seat heater on high, there should be 12VDC. With the seat heater on low, there should be 6VDC.
Technical Support. My ATV heated grip kit came with two left side grips. How can I have both the grips and the thumb warmer on at the same time?
The controller LEDs just flash when I try to adjust the heat level. It shows the top pin is for the low circuit and the bottom pin is for the high circuit.
Which wire is ground for the heated grips? The red wire for each heated grip is ground, the blue wire is low, and the white wire is high.
The heated grips no longer turn on and heat up. Which wire is ground for the heaters? The red wire for each heater is ground, the blue wire is low, and the white wire is high. The heaters no longer turn on and heat up.
The kit is installed, but the heaters do not heat up or the controller LEDs do not light up. Make sure that the kit is not grounded to the frame of the motorcycle.
Ground the last grip's if they are wired in "series" wire to the car battery or battery charger's negative. You've bypassed any voltage source problem that may originate from the vehicle. With grips that are wired in series you can either test one grip at a time or both together.
But disconnect the center terminal of your switch from your vehicle's power source, and hook up your independent voltage source at that point. If not, then you need to check resistance of each grip, and the switch. To test the grip's resistance, use a volt-ohm meter and set the meter to Rx1 or lowest most sensitive resistance range.
Zero adjust your meter if it has that feature, by touching the two test leads together and pressing your meter's reset button or adjusting the appropriate control. If your meter has no zero adjust feature, then you must first touch the meter contacts together and make a note of the resistance value.
