Heated Grips Connector

[DuMar]

Hi all,

Has anyone used the 4-pin heated grip connector when installing non-Yamaha heated grips? I was looking through the schematic for a place to pick up switched power for my Oxford grips when I came across the little devil. ::012:: Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Two of the pins provide power, one goes to ground, and the other to the ECU, presumably to provide some control or monitoring function.

Thanks,
Mike

I used the bike's heated grip plug for my Symtech grips (and GPS). Could not have been easier. No need to install any additional relays. I soldered a spade connector to the grips/gps side. Clipped off one side of the spade and slid the remaining side of the spade into the plug. Made sure there was a good barrier between the two spades with some silicone tape and it has been perfect.

I was thinking the same thing, then found the Sumitomo 4-pin male connector kit online for a couple bucks. Should be here in a few days.
Also noticed there's an aux light connector as well. Hmmmm ... may be time to upgrade the lighting.

You all do realize that the "weather" connector at the terminus is nothing other than the connector without terminals and a rubber plug in their place, right?

All you need to do is get the proper terminal connector for the plug, attach it to your wire, and slide it in the connector you already have.

Eastern Beaver, Radio Shack, any electrical supply house, etc. will have what you need.

I just couldn't bring myself to order two $0.15 pins so ordered the whole kit, which comes with the proper plugs and four pins so I have extra when I screw up.

Thanks, Phil.
