I've got a [url=https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/firstgear-dual-portable-heat-troller]First Gear dual portable Heat-Troller. Red channel for jacket liner and yellow channel for gloves or glove liners. Last week I thought I'd fried the red channel getting off the bike and forgetting to unplug when I walked away from the bike. The jacket liner no longer got warm. I bought a new Heat-Troller and, to my chagrin, still no liner heat. I sat down in the house with the liner and an electrical continuity meter. The red channel was an open circuit. Thankfully, the [url=https://www.webbikeworld.com/powerlet-rapidfire-heated-clothing-review/]Powerlet RapidFIRe liner has an internal zipper that gives you access to the bundle of wiring inside. I traced the open circuit to a fault in one of the wire crimps. Cut it out, put in a new butt splice, and presto! Jacket liner is now working again. What to do with the extra Heat-Troller? Well, I may eventually invest in heated pant liners and heated boot liners. Then I can truly ride down to some low temps and for extended hours.
