Default How to check heated grips

Real quick I installed new heated grips right after Christmas on my 17 RGS. Install simple enough after throwing away the directions. Well today I installed a set of 10" monkey bars..install went pretty good. Love the look and the feel of the bars. Everything went as planned other then my heated grips are dead? I didn't pinch any wires..really careful. Also I didn't pull the power wires thru..they are outside the bars. I checked all my fuses and everything looked good. How can I check and see if I have power at the left grip? Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks..

Don't know if this will help, but there is a section at the end of the instructions under troubleshooting,
Hand Grips do not produce Heat

Something i was told, and what fixed mine, the plug on end of bar, has prongs on it , that if not lined up will bend, check the prongs, might be it
