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.

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).
