Handwarmers quit working..

Zone28M7 · Feb 3, 2014

Okay so it's pretty simple. Handwarmers quit working! I traced wiring down to bulkhead and there's no breaks or shorts. Up inside the gauge cluster for the hand warmers I don't seem to have power going into the warmer wiring nor the connector that plugs into warmer button selectors.

Bad instrumentation?
Bad wiring harness? Bad ground?

Anyone run into this?

I guess I would get a tester to know where you have current and where you don't. I fought a hand warmer on an 02 where it would burn out the element every 5 rides or so.

Did it quit on you entirely or does the low setting still work?
This happen to me too, and it was the wire going into the heating element that had broke of.
Got new from dealer and works perfect now

Quit entirely. I used a tester and traced it all the way down to chassis. I just wasnt sure if there was a resistor or relay or something that could possibly be bad.

Did you check your fuses under the hood?

^^^^^^ check your fuse. Mine did this and it was the fuse.

Both elements on my 14 HC and my buddies M8000 went out within the first 500 miles

I couldn't find a fuse anywhere! Where would this infamous fuse be?

Nose of your sled by the ecu there's two wire that are just sticking out with covers on them. It's the wide skinny one. Take the right side panel off and you should see it. If not take the hood off.

Okay first off, I feel like a jackass! I kept looking past the fuses because I thought that was a diagnostics plug in. Second, I had a blown 15 fuse. Replaced and my hands will now be WARM!!
