I need some help from those of you who may have gone through these wiring questions please.
1. My starting interlock on a 2003 Grizzely has malfunctioned such that I can't start the bike by pulling in the front brake. Does anyone know which wire to unhook to defeat this gadget or do I need to buy another interlock switch.?
2. Also any tips on where to hook up heated grips on this bike to be on the main switch such that the battery won't run down? Right now I'm direct to the battery which works fine except when you happen to leave the switch on of course. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

You might tap it into the ignition wire (which only gives power when the key is on). I don't remember which wire it is, but I did this on my winch cylenoid. Its in that mess of wires in the compartment next to the battery. And if I'm right, all that stuff is packed in pretty tight, but you can manage it though.

 

Thanks for the suggestion on the grip warmer power source. I figured I'd have to paw through the ignition wire bundle to tie i somehow but it wasn't evident in the wiring manual which wire to use.

Any other ideas on the starter interlock? Seems when I remove the front brake lever such that the switch is out I can start it in gear but when I press the lever which push the swith in it won't start which is opposite of what should be happening. Also I don't see how to unplug the swith from the lever assembly but maybe it's just a press fit?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I think the starter override, is for the rear only. At least on my Kodiak, its that way. Either the hand or foot operated rear brake, but not the front.
An easy place, if this isnt too late, to splice in for hand warmers, is the accesory plug. Behind it are two wires, one is a ground and the other is only hot when the key is on. And its already fuse protected. If you are only going to have the hand warmers on it, then replace the 10 amp fuse with a 3 amp fuse. But if youre using a gps or cell phone, in the socket, then leave the 10 amp in there.
