Michael,Hello Al:
You might have solved your 'flashing lights on the heated grips controller' problem by now, but in case you have not:
I am 99.44% certain that your problem is caused by inadequate current getting to the supply side of the controller. In other words, if not enough current is available to the controller, it will flash, I have experienced this problem before myself and isolated it to a current supply problem.
So, to fix the problem, I suggest you very carefully inspect the wiring that supplies current to the controller, and also the wiring that goes from the controller to ground on the bike. A poor connection, loose connection, or undersized wire on either the supply or the ground side of the circuit will cause EXACTLY the problems you are experiencing.

This makes sense as I had a burnt out left headlight bulb and the controller worked great on settings 1 & 2. As soon as the headlight bulb was replaced, back to the same old problem. When I remove my right middle cowl, I'm going to run the cabling back to my fuse box and use a device called "Add a fuse". I'm sure it's the undersized cabling or the poor grounding going to the front ends of these bikes.
