Default 2014 FLHTK Heated Handgrips died

Today my heated handgrips stopped working - both at the same time.
If both stop at the same time does that likely mean a fuse has gone?
Anyone had both heated handgrips stop working like this and know the cause?
What might cause this?

I have a 2013 limited. The heated grips failed on one day, and worked the next. The problem never repeated and I never found the cause.

The same thing has happened to me - they have started working again and I don't know why...
Told the dealership this and they said they can't do anything until they fail completely i.e. they need to be inoperative when I take the bike in for them to fix it.

Sounds like a good time to use your warranty.

I had my heated grips on my 2014 FLHTK fail in the middle of a ride last year. Stopped for gas and they started working again. Haven't had the problem reoccur. The grips are wierd I guess

Mine failed after about 2 years on my 2010FLHTK. Fuse is good so not going to waste any more money on them.

Default H D heated grips

There has been problems with these for years. I fought with 2 sets over a period of 2 years. If you must have heated grips, go with heat demons!. There is quite a few threads on H D heated grips. Nightmare!
