oxford heated grips

anyone out there using oxford heated grips wouldnt mind some help as mine playing up after 20-30 miles they will go off and then the 100% light flashes very dim leave them for 20 min disconected and then they work again. ive stripped all conections and switch cleaned and dried them then sealed them.
HELP

are you using the ones with a battery management system (green light on bottom left of controller)??

No the one with the + - and power button and the 4 stage lights.

Decided that the best option is to rip them of and just buy some heated gloves as they have been nothing but hassle + ive been given some normal grips for free that were in a local bike shop. http://www.mooks-parts.co.uk

Hi Owen,

I have the same heated grips but my controller is stuck on the lowest setting, do you still have the controller?

um im pritty sure ive still got it ill have to take a look. may be well worth opening the switch up and get some wd40 or acf type fluid in there give it a clean . may just be water contamination. but ill take a look tonight or tomorow moarning.

Cheers dude, I have some electrical cleaner kicking about the garage Ill give that a go.
Although I have seen that on some other forums some people have had the same issue as me and it was a fault with the controller for that model.

SteveCat had some issues with heated grips too, you might wanna look up his thread and see what his solution was  

I had the 'digital'/electronic controller. It wasn't Oxford branded, although I think they supplied them to Hein Gericke. My problem was the HG controller died twice, eventually swopped it for a hi/lo push button controller - just some switches and no electronics; no problems since.

Thanks Steve, where can I get these? I found the new controller on ebay but its expensive for what it is:

Get these . . it'll be cheaper

Thats an auction so could go for more? I just need the controller though, as the grips work its just stuck on 30%
It makes sense if the whole lot was cheaper, does this controller go round the handle bars?
As there is not much space on the Cat to fit this? My current controller is stuck to the top of the fork centre plate.

I take it you have tried the old tapometer method of quick fix . . .

Does that work? knowing my luck, ill use a steel hammer and crack it.

The controller was stuck on the yoke on my first 'cat, the second time around I used the supplied bracket .. pic If you scroll up from that pic you should see where I had it on the first 'cat.

I know the controller isn't exactly the same, but is the same size.

My controller was exchanged under warranty, so sorry that won't be of any help to you - I don't even think they sell that rubbish them anymore

Had the same problem, replaced the controller and all was well. Stripped the controller apart and found a dry joint, repaired that and fitted to the wife's bike and it has worked for the last 3 years.

ive taken a look through my spares cupboard and couldnt find it sorry must have been thrown when i was tidying up lasttime sorry.. ive bought heated gloves now and find them much better than grips as your whole hand stays warm. each to there own but i think they will last longer but only time will tell.
