Heated grips will not switch off?

I have checked the switch and it appears to be working, yet the grips are always hot? Is there a relay that could be stuck in "on" position?

I just looked this up in my handy dandy Elektriska Kopplingsscheman(Electrical circuit diagrams).

There is only a switch immediately upstream of the grips themselves. I would think that the malfunction has to be in the switch, since it is downstream of everything else.

If you have gotten the bike very, very wet, you might try a hair dryer on the switch. Otherwise, some disassembly may be required.

Good Luck.

I notice you have an RT-P. They use one of the auxiliary switches in the add-on boxes to operate the heated grips. The switch on the right grip assembly that works the grips on the civilian models is used for some of the police lighting. I easily re-wired mine to work with the original switch. Just something to check.

Add on boxes?

 

My heated grip switch is on the left side dash, next to the ABS switch. I swore up was high, center off and down low. Ill check tonite, goin for a ride.

On my 1998 RT-P that is correct.

An 1150 should have the heated grip switch on the right hand grip assembly. The authorities version used that switch for some of the lights and moved the grip heater to one of the add-on switch boxes. It can easily be changed back if you aren't using the add-on switches.

The 1100RT was: Up-high center-off down-low.

The 1150 was: up-off center-low down-high.

My 03 RT-P has switch on left grip. Up=high, center=off, down=low.

 

Are you sure it is the left grip? Most 1150's are on the right hand switch cluster.

And as if you didn't know, I am talking about the civilian bike. Also the switching arrangement is:

top pushed in - off

mid position - medium heat

bottom pushed in - max heat.
