PostSubject: Honda Grip Heater connector   Tue Aug 09, 2011 6:12 am

I bought a used handle bar (mine is bended) with original Honda heated Grips.

Can someone tell me where are the connectors for the Heaters?
In best cases with pictures?

Could it be that the Grip Heater wires were cut off when the bars were removed from the original scooter? Hopefully not though.

Grip Heaters are an add-on accessory, and will require an additional wiring circuit (with a fuse) to connect the Heaters to the scoot power supply.

Honda heated grips have male and female bullet connectors for each grip connected to a harness which includes the heat controller, this in turn is linked to the brake light circuit for +ve and to the park brake cicuit for -ve. At least that's what the instructions said when I fitted mine a few weeks ago.

Sorry, but what exactly do you mean with +ve and -ve? Means ve = voltage?

My handlebar/heat grips are complet without cutted wires!

The Controller and the heat grips are connected with bullet connectors.
For ground connection a have a (in german we call it) cableshoe like this: I think i can attach this somewhere to the frame...
For the positive i have "t-piece" with male and female cableshoes like this: . One of them is straight and one of them have 90° and rubber. I think this "T-piece" will fit between the cable and the brake light switch. Is this correct?

But for the moment i have another problem. I don't touched the wiring for the moment and only replaced the handlebar and now i have a short circuit somewhere between the limit switch and the engine start switch...
I think i have to remove a lot of tupperware tomorrow...

PS: Where do i install the controller?

+ve is short for positive.

-ve is short for negative.



The blue connector you show is called a 'spade' connector in the UK ('male' in this case as it slips inside the other half, the 'female').

The official wiring had two small sub-harnesseswhich had small spade connectors to fit onto the appropriate place on the original wiring and to connect to the main grip harness:- no ring connector on mine, it earthed (or gounded ) thro' the parking brake connection.

OK and thanks...
I think my technical english is ok, but i'm a mechanic and not electrician Wink

The spade connector looks like riginal Honda and the ring connector don't looks like Honda. Then i think i will connect the negative/ground somewhere to the frame...

Is there somewhere a special place to connect the +ve with the brake light circuit? Or is it ok if i put the Heatgrips between the spade connectors of the brake light switch?

And how or where do i attach the controller? Have someone pictures of the attachment of the controller?

For the mount see this picture:

The box is attached to a metal plate which fixes on the two bolts.
