Default Heated Gear?

I picked up a heated jacket liner and gloves today from the dealer. Got them to give me 15% off too. But I have a few questions:

1) they told me I could plug the glove cord into the accessory cord and it would work. Nope, gloves barely got warm. But when plugging the gloves directly into battery connection they got hot. Should it be this way?

2) Does the dual thermostat controller directly power the gloves and liner?

3) my liner only seems to get warm on the left arm, across the back and on my right forearm, I assume I should take it back for an exchange?

Bust from my short ride tonight in 34* temps with the partially working heated gear and was warm! I can see why alot of guys here rave about the heated gear!
