I had two heat trollers installed on my '03 fairing. They both stopped blinking within a month of each other, ie stayed red all the time so I exchanged them. The first replacement stayed red all the time, the second with an orange LED blinked in tempo to the increased heat load. The 3d & 4th stayed red all the time. Red all the time means full power, rendering the rheostat useless. I've been 'round and around with Gerbings on this. I know my hookups are good as they were installed by a Gerbing's exec. in '04.
I wonder if my battery is bad, but I always have it on a battery tender and the light is green. The battery is an '03, but has excellent charge due to the battery tender. Also at highway speed, with full alt. charge, the LED stays red, and will not blink.
Since the orange LED works as indicated, could all the red ones be defective?
Could an aging battery cause the rheostat to stay on full power all the time?
I think Gerbings has done all required of them, but that does not solve my problem:
Why can't I get graduated power from a rheostat?
