Default Heated Grip Issue

I have HD heated grips installed on my 2019 SGS. During a trip that I am still on they stuck on so I disconnected the connector behind the faring. Any idea how or why they stuck on and how to fix? Thanks for you help.

Pull of the left side end cap and ensure the potentiometer is setup correctly. There are little detents with a spring that can easily be misarranged.

They worked fine for a year. I will take a peak at what you said above.
