Bought a set of 2011 CVO heated grips and trying to make them work on a '15 SESG. I verified the twist grip sensor is the same on both years. 5 wires coming from the left side grip--a set of 3 and a set of 2. The 2 (black and black/white) go into the twist grip harness to power the other grip...the question is the other 3....red, black and org/white. Red power, black ground....my guess is org/white is ignition power so you don't leave them on by mistake when you shut the bike off? Anybody have a wiring diagram to verify that?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE--found a wiring diagram online..looks like both wires go the accessory circuit??

My heated grips work when the ignition switch is in accessory position...so I'm guessing that's why there are two power sources for the left grip.  Haven't been able to verify.

I'm not sure why anyone would want the grips wired to be energized when the ignition is off (in accessory mode).  Good way to run the battery down though.  Maybe for those who like to play the audio system sitting in the garage and don't have a heated garage?  To each his own.

That's the way it came from the factory.  Another head-scratcher from MoCo.

So I found the 2 wires in the fairing for the factory '15 heated grips--one power and one ground. Since the old style has 2 power wires and one ground and the new style has only one, can anybody thing of a reason not to wire both hot leads to the one hot lead in the fairing?? The fairing wire gets power only with the ignition on.

Use a meter to read between the 2 wires coming from grip, also read each wire to ground. If there is 0(or close) ohms between them and no ground......hook em hot.

That the way I wired mine. The power source I used for both power leads was from the accessories circuit.

Both the red and the org/wht on the grips need to be powered.......I found that on the 2011 schematic when the 3 wire plug was in the standard harness. CAN bus reduced the bike harness to 2 wires--just power and ground.

Thanks for the info......that's what I figured I was going to do.
