strange problem i cant find the answer to: my left hand side handwarmer works fine, but my right hand warmer and my thumb warmer do not. i've chased wires all over the place and have not had any luck finding anything chafed, unhooked, etc.- anyone encounter this problem or have any reommendations? wearing one gauntlet is getting old.....
 

checked the fuse box on the right side of the sled and is ok - are there any in line fuses i should be looking for?
also, dont know if this helps, but no error codes are showing.
 
Dont think it is the wiring, because Vector's (at least my 06) have the handwarmers wired in series. If one handwarmer works, then the other should too. So get out your ohm meter and check resistance. BTW, Yamaha handwarmers suck in general. You can read all day here on TY about that.
 
Did you ever by-pass the T.O.R.S. by changing the wires on the handle bars as shown in the manual? I did but, I did it wrong and got the same problem you have. Recheck those wire plugs to see if you have it correct to see if that is the problem. R.S. Vector ER
 
found my problem. there was a small nick in the grip - upon further investigation, saw that the element had been damaged, resulting in a non continuious electrical loop...still need to figure out the thumbwarmer though.....
