Tony1303 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi, I have just bought some oxford heated grips for my 2020 (new shape)Tracer 700. There is no dedicated grip wiring as per the previous model that I could find, it only has the auxiliary connections for USB and Aux power outlet and these are only protected via the same 3A fuse. As the grips are rated up to 4A I was going to use the heated seat wiring to power them, but it appears they have deleted this too. Anyone know if there is a suitable switched power supply that I could use instead, as I don't really want to power them direct to the battery as per the instructions. Thanks.

Moderator Cynic Posted January 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 28, 2022 If the aux power output is switched i would use that as a trigger line and then fit the old faithful 12v relay and a fuse link off of the battery. Digging into modern wiring is not an option, no telling what is connected to what in modern canbus systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1303 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thanks for that Cynic, I had a good look round for the heated grip wiring today. Turns out the heated grip and seat connectors are there, they were well taped up so couldn't see them the first time. I have now fitted the grips and all working fine. Good call on the relay idea that's the route I would have taken if the dedicated wiring wasn't there. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
