Hi I have a problem that someone here may be able to help me with I installed a new seat on my 06 Goldwing the old seat was heated the new seat is not what I have found out is that my heated grips will not work if the heated seat is not plugged in. Has anyone found a fix to this problem?

Found this on another site,
placed 4 - 160k resistors between the following pins on the seat plug connector:

Pin 3 to pin 7
Pin 3 to pin 10
Pin 6 to pin 4
Pin 6 to pin 8

This replaces the seat thermistors with fixed resistors and
the heat control unit allows the heated grips to work.

I believe any resistor between 40k and 200k will work. I picked 160k
because it is the thermistor value at 0 degrees C.

Joe, sometimes you are just down right scary... Good work, you make us look good... Thanks..

Makes one want to stay with the heated seat. Kudos on " joe in calif " ( a.k.a. Sparkey ).

Joe, Two Wheel is bang on with that. We can allow you to unload the Wing, but the fountain of knowledge must remain flowing!

 

[Madmax]

Thanks I will give that a try

One more thing would you know how the pins are numbered I thought they were numbered on the plug but I see they are not.
Thanks again

I have the Service manual and can look it up.

What did you find on " Google " that helped you ?

 

[Sponge104]

Please let me know what pins are what

Thanks Tom

The following is the wire color for the various pins of the heated seat connector.



Pin 1 - White/Black Stripe
Pin 2 - Yellow/Red Stripe
Pin 3 - Green/Black Stripe
Pin 4 - Blue/Red Stripe
Pin 5 - Yellow/Red Stripe
Pin 6 - Green/Black Stripe
Pin 7 - Blue/Green Stripe
Pin 8 - Black/Yellow Stripe
Pin 9 - Red/White Stripe
Pin 10 - Blue/White Stripe

Did you perform the resistor job ?

 

[Madmax]

I hope to get to it next week I could only get 100K resistors if its works I will let everyone know Thanks again for all the help.

 

[Sponge104]

I'm going to look the resistors tomorrow.
If I find any 160K I'll let you know.

I have replaced the passenger backrest also, do I need to add the resistors to the plug for the passenger baskrest too?
If so do you know what pins need it?
Thanks for all the help...

 

[Madmax]

I am sorry I don’t know this is my first time at trying this fix all the info I have I got from this forum and other forums I found on Google I don’t remember seeing anything about the backrest If I were you I would try the resistors in the seat plug first and see what happens.

What are you doing Sponge ? Are you messing with your seat ? Or even worse, the wife's comfort seat ? Talk to me.

 

[Sponge104]

No, Jan and I purchased a Hartco seat and we replace the passenger backrest also...
This seat is FANTASTIC!!!
I rode 500 miles yesterday and was ready for more...
