I purchased a set of kahuna grips for my 2008 ultra. I also purchased a new tbw jumper harness that the kit said a needed along with a connector and a couple pins for it(not sure if I needed those connectors and pins). Anyways the new jumper harness had 2 extra connectors on it. See photo below. One up by the twist grip connector which is in the bars now and the other by the harness connector. The left grip has two wires coming out of it. The right grip has the plug that plugs into the twist grip sensor after the seal is removed. I have all the wiring in the bars. I ran the power wire to the cig lighter with the supplied adapter for it. This is where the installation instructions get sketchy. One section says to plug the other wire coming from the left grip into the new jumper harness yet nothing is plugged into the other connector of that same harness? Another section says to plug the other wire coming out of the left grip into a unused pigtail connector up by the volt/oil gage. I've looked all morning and found no such connector up there. I have power at the cig lighter wiring and power off the second wire coming out of the left grip.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple here but I have been at this fior days.
Any ideas. I'm starting to think I bought some nice looking heated grips that won't heat.
Regards Dave
I feel your pain. For my bike 2017 FLHP, the instructions were **** and the jumper harness they sent me was ok but you have to figure out what you use and what you don't use.
What I ended up doing:
1. Ignore the instructions.
2. Find switched power somewhere, splice into it the old fashioned way or make use of the wiring kit.
3. Use the prewired connector from the right side grip to the headlight (your set up will differ).
4. Connect left side grip to switched power and to prewired connector for right side grip that is in the headlight area.
The positive thing is that the grips so far are very nice.
He had another issue, he needed to know how to get the interconnect connector done for the right grip, it wasn't pre-wired from the TGS like on bikes after 2010.
I believe he got it worked out in his other thread. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...questions.html
