The dealer wired my Polaris hand warmers back in August. A few days ago, i tried to turn them on for the first time and they don't work. Any suggestions, or should I switch to Symtec?
Thanks.

Did you look into it and see why they aren't working? Maybe check for power at the switch and power going to your heaters?? Don't seem worth just scraping them? Or maybe take it back to the dealer and tell them they didn't install them right?!

Already looked at wiring and everything is wired correctly.

Faulty switch? Have you checked voltage on either side of the switch or pull the switch and check continuity?

Yea just cuz the wiring looks right don't mean you have power? Either way I'd be calling the dealer and bitching even if it's been a few months still should be a warranty or something

I have moose racing ones on, I didnt' install mine. Are you using the polaris ones? or aftermarket?

Just make sure you install that switch on on of the top knockouts of your light pod. I had to spice in an extra 4" of wire so that the left handwarmer could be routed properly. No big deal but why didn't Polaris make the dang wires long enough!!!!!

That sucks. I just bought and installed the Polaris hand and thumb warmers and there was enough wire to use the two lower knockouts. JUST enough, mind you, but it worked. Hmmm. Polaris isn't very consitent with wiring in their kits, are they? I have done okay with everything I have purchased, but have heard this very complaint from a few with the same kits. Oh well.

I got a 2nd set for a new quad and they were much longer the second time. No splicing needed. Figures!!!
