I've hook up a heated shield wire just as I did with my srx, power to blue wire under the pad, black to steering post ground. Problem is, I'm not getting much voltage, .2 at idle and up to maybe 1 volt revving it up. Similar readings at everything under the pad. The hand warmers were a bit more, 2-3 volts.Crazy thing is, everything else is working good. Checked my meter, checked the srx, that was reading 12+. I'm stumped. :o|
Anyone?

The easiest thing to check and fix would be your ground. Use an ohm meter to check that you have a good path to all the way back to engine ground. Resistance equals voltage drop.
