2018 sidewinder handle bar heater not working

Fuse is good

No code on dash

Anybody have similar issue what to check next
 
If possible look into the shop manual for the 2018. I don't have the numbers(resistance) or shop manual handy but ultimately you need to find the wiring and the plug and then test for resistance for the bar heaters. The plug/wiring is located on the handle bar wiring harness. Check for chaffed wires and or short in the wiring harness also.
 
Do you know if they are in series or wired individual left/right
 
Testing Handlebar Warmer Elements
NOTE: Resistance will vary due to temperature; therefore, this test should be made at room temperature of 20° C (68° F).
NOTE: To access the element connectors, the handlebar control assembly for the side being tested must be removed.
1. Disconnect the handlebar warmer three-wire connector.
2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter lead to the green/white lead; then connect the other ohmmeter lead to the green lead.
3. The meter must read between 12.6-15.4 ohms.
4. In the element connector, connect the ohmmeter between the green/blue and green lead wires.
5. The meter must read between 6.3-7.7 ohms.
6. Replace any element measuring less than or more than the specified amount. NOTE: Repeat test for the other element.
7. Connect the leads; then install the handlebar control assembly and secure the handlebar pad (if applicable).
