Does anyone know a way to test your heated visor with out plugging into the sled?

On mine you do not get a closed circuit through the lens because there is a conductive coating that has resistance (that's what heats up) but I don't know what the Ohm value should be. That's what confused me because I could never find a closed circuit but then I found a bad wire, fixed it and still had an open circuit. I can try and measure it tonight but not sure if it would be the same for all visors.

Should be 10 - 20 ohms. Can you give it a 12v source and use an infrared temp sensor?
Just found this on ebay

Might be handy to have.

That's pretty cool because it can be used as a flashlight too but it will only test power in the cord and won't tell you if your visor is bad. I had a bad wire in the plastic housing right on the visor so power looked good right up to that point but visor wouldn't heat.

Don't use one and get a 509 helmet and goggles, I Drive in -35 lost and don't get cold find it warmer than my old heated visor helmet. Don't worry about a cord going on and off it's alot lighter. My Dad told me i was nuts when i bought it and i would freeze, he took it one day when i was gone in -35 and couldn't believe how warm and light it was on his head.

i did get the 509 sinister goggles and matte black helmet, however wanted to have my heated visor ready for back up in case. i found out the fuse was bad so changed it to a 5 amp one and just wanted to be sure everything s good to go while i wait for snow!

I'm reading about 30 ohms across the lens.

Hye Guys, thanks so much for your help. Blown fuse, and the connection on the visor had a short in it, went to a local surplus store and got the same rca connector for 50 cents. sure bets $80 for a new visor.
