Around of liquid refreshment to all who'd like one.
I have a 2011 Street Glide with H-D brand heated grips. They're
working, but the way they operate has changed.
Up to now, I've never operated them at a level higher than 2 or 3 on
the control rheostat.
Last weekend there was no heat at power level 2-3. I thought they
weren't working. When I turned the rheostat up to 4-5, they got hot.
That's new. I've never had to turn them up that high. I have not made
any electrical changes to bike.
I was wondering if anyone has ever seen this before and if so if you
had any thoughts on what the cause was.

Loose or dirty connection, bad breaker/fuse, failing rheostst.
