Heated Koso grips switch doesn't seem to be working properly. Cuts out intermittently. Question is how does one fix this, any suggestions. I can't find any replacement parts for this hence if anything I can only try and fix it or replace it.
Ideas on how to fix a switch that misbehaves, not sure I can get to where I can even spray some solvent to clean up the contacts.

The switch is molded inside the grip with Koso grips I believe. I hope they are still under warranty, otherwise you'll have to tear into it to see how to fix it. So expect to have to replace them (at least the LH grip) by next winter.

Well the plastic cover came off, below it is the white plastic touch pad that I believe touches the circuit board below it, will fiddle around with it this weekend.
I think I will have to buy a new pair & find a way to protect it from the weather as the rain seems to be the one doing to misbehavior.
Good to know that there isn't a fix as such and it may end up being saved for spare parts for the next heated grips to be installed .
Not happy that it lasted only 2 years.
