Heated grip fuse?

Hi

I think the fuse for my heated grips may have blown as i started the bike with them switched on, the previous owner told me he had the same problem once, my problem is im not sure which fuse is the right one, forgot to ask previous owner and now they are not working.

Has anyone had this problem and if so do you know which fuse services them?

Thanks

Warren,

There should not be a problem starting the bike with the heated grips switch in the on position. I do it often in the winter. Anyway, if it continues to blow a fuse on your bike I'm sure others will chime in on possible causes.

The fuse for the heated grips is #7 in the photo below.

Thanks taosports...I have seen your diagram before and I printed it out and keep it in my fuse box! Very handy!

just looked in my fusebox and have no number 6 fuse, fuel pump, the blue one beside the heated grips fuse, whats the story with that then, are some layouts different or use a different fuse.

Also was wondering do auto supply stores sell these fuses?

Cheers

Warren,

I think I may have contributed to a bit of confusion with the posted photo which by the way is not mine but one that was posted in another forum.

The circled numbers refer to the relays, the uncircled numbers are the actual fuses (bottom left of photo). When you mention you do not have the number 6 "fuse", I hope you mean the number 6 relay which is for an ABS equiped bike. I'm assuming your bike does not have ABS(?).

Anyway, pull the #7 fuse and see if it is blown. If it is, replace it with a 4amp fuse (which can be found at any auto shop). It's also a good idea to carry a few spares. The ones you'll need are 4, 7.5, and 10 amp fuses.

BTW, the fuse layout for an 02 1150 is identical to an 04. Also, on my bike, the #8 and #9 fuses are in use - the #8 for low-beam headlight and license plate light, and #9 for the high beam headlight. In the photo, they are missing, and I'm not really sure why.

Again, it's not a photo of my fuseblock.

Hope that clears things up.
