Ordering these grip warmers for my '12 Boulevard... One review noted the high/low were similar; now I see a off/low/high switch that must be bought separately? Does the warmer come w/ switch or not?

Greetings, I didn't have any problems with my switch that comes with the hand warmer set. I would like to comment on the selection of high and low mode are a quite different temps on the grips. My bars takes about 7 to 10 minutes for me to feel the warm bars thru my gloves, (and it all depends on how thick my palm leathers are.) Good luck, Safe riding.

What I did was drill a hole in the middle of my handle bar above the headlight on the bottom side big enough to install a grommet to protect the wires. run the wires to thru the headlight and tested the heaters to make sure they work. Filled the handle bars with insulation. This worked good for me. It keeps my hands nice and toasty :-) Hope this helps.Nick

I looked this morning, but aside from the Hi/Lo toggle switch, I saw no other switches such as an On/Off one. Perhaps you need to contact the manufacturer for help.

instructions are for generic installation - simple and straight forward just requires finding a hot voltage source - if you have a 12v accessory plug wire it in there. Kit that I installed did not have thumb warmer

The on-off switch and the separate variable heat rheostat are the on opposite side from the red light in the photo. They should have taken the photo with the switches on the front. The red light on the back merely tells, when it is glowing, that it is on (and heating). This is the BEST blech/warming tray that there is. Terrific product.

These are not simple on/off switches. Off is in the center position. Your hot wire goes to the center (normally), and output is wired to the outer posts, based on your configuration. Google Double-pole / Double-throw switch and you'll see dozens of wiring diagrams available. Using jumpers and how you configure the wiring, the possibilities are endless. Normal configuration is using center pin as HOT input, and outer pins as output to different devices. There is no "ground" or "negative", these simply break or re-route the hot-wire in your circuit.

I think there is an additional switch. I actually called the company and asked them a series of questions before I bought - they are very helpful, and seemingly not threatened should you purchase through Amazon or elsewhere.

Honestly, I'm sorry I am no help but I cant remember. I have a Ford Raptor that has upfitter switches so I didn't even look for a switch. As Kawell directly and I'm sure they will let you know. I had a question and they replied to me very quickly. Sorry I was not help at all. But light is still holding strong even after some goo off roading.

I bought this and tried installing it myself, but needed a good friend (who is a heating and cooling service man) help me. The instructions stated that you need a sail switch or pressure switch, and these can be purchased from a HVAC business of some sort. He was able to wire it to the furnace board without these switches, but I am not sure how. Hope this helps

I never noticed that! I can assure you that they listed it backwards. I have this model, and it works as you suggested, 8-10 for low and 4-5 for high. After those times have passed, it will automatically switch to the warm setting, for ultimate set it and forget it ease. Amazon goofed it appears!

If is in dash keyset, check your dealer for crossfit. Sometimes the fit on here is wrong, go by part number. Buy the ignition switch with the keyset. It is hard to remove the old one with out breaking the switch housing.

Tarik, There is no switch on the heater, only a long extension cord. I installed a switched outlet to plug it into. That is the only way to avoid using the plug alone as an on/off switch. It is a very good unit,, it mounts very close to combustible materials and looks good. You may need 2 units if you are trying to heat a larger area. Hope that helps. I guess we should also thank Amazon for knowing I bought one and sending me a note to lend you a hand. Good luck!

The on/off switch is on the upper part of handle. There are 2 switches on/off and temp control. The temp control dial can easily get moved due to using the iron. I have to check it often to make sure it is not on high. Wish this iron had an auto off after a period of time. It is a fantastic iron.

Mine too - the switch on the shifter only seems to have two contact points - Park and Reverse. I tested this switch with an Ohm meter when I installed the shifter and then again a few weeks ago, thinking I missed something on the first go around. All I have been able to determine is that Park allows the ignition circuit to engage and reverse operates the back up lights. Honestly, I am not real thrilled with my Sports Shifter for this and a few other quality issues (like reverse doesn't freely engage - almost have to ratchet into reverse, Can get "Park" to line up with the indicator but then each gear down is misaligned). Sorry wasn't more help

There is no actual "off" switch. If you plan to have a temp lower then what the stat is used for, I would suggest another model or add a switch to it.

hey there ned: i have installed these on everything from buells to kawi concours to a few yamaha zuma scooters. if your bike is running the stock headlight bulbs you can tap the positive wire for same. these grips on high only use approx. 4 amps which is less than 1/3 of a normal healight circuit fuse. i always go to a ground source in the headlight bucket/fairing area but any ground will do. these draw very little amps as mentioned above and normally medium setting works just fine. hope that helps. regards, john lutz/mid atlantic cycle

Mine was a bare bones kit, and I don't remember any specific instructions other than wiring diagram. No thumb warmer.
