Today Riley and I will show you how to install a heated visor plug in a REV G4 chassis Ski-Doo Ski-Doo Part# 860201283 Heated Visor Plug Kit for REV Gen4
I just installed mine , took off the one side panel , cluch cover , dust cover behind church , installed it , put dust cover back , cluch cover back , and aide panel , you didn't have to take all that apart !
Hey Louis, Thanks for stopping by the channel. 👍🏼 You are correct, you don’t have to take everything apart. I had mine apart because I was doing additional wiring by adding a GPS conversion plug and USB plug inside the glove box so I needed everything apart for it. I was showing where to grab the power front he factory Accessory plug. I guess I should have better explained myself. Did you make a video of installing yours? That would have been great for others to see how you did yours? Take Care
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. I have a factory installed plug and it was working intermittently and seen slightly loose. After seeing your video, I realized that you can tighten the plug just by turning the cap. I will try this and see if it solves my problem.
Hey jpaul, Thank you for watching the video. Great to hear the video helped. Just reach up under the console and hold the bottom part with one hand where the wires are and use the other to twist the cap and it should tighten right up. I’ve had to retighten mine a time or two so it’s not uncommon. Take Care 👍🏼
@@jpaul4595 Yeah should be able to just tighten the cap without holding the bottom just make sure the plug itself doesn’t spin a lot when tightening the cap. You don't want to twist up the wiring to much.. 👍🏼
@@SometimeIsNow good point, I’ll hold the plug and twist cap to avoid twisting wires. Thanks so much for your help. Have you been out to Tug yet this season?
I didn't have good luck with that thing. That plastic nut/cover stripped as I was installing so I used a coax cable cut ( same thread ) and a washer to tighten then used the plastic nut/cover just as a cover. Then the 90 degree cable they give you was defective ! Man bad luck. I finally got it working properly this winter . I really think a stronger design is needed especially at the cost of the darn thing .
Hey Slowbee !! You been riding?? I know it.. I can remember the days when you just unhooked two rubber latches and the hood was on hinges.. That’s when you could actually see the motor to work on it. LOL 😬🥴
@@SometimeIsNow this past weekend we did a trail side hotdog roast! Thought I might see you! I'm hoping to get a few miles this week! Have a trip to ADK's for the weekend (non snowmobile) trip!
Hey CatmanDoo, Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by and checking out the videos. Yeah that happens sometimes. If you have a connector that unplugs quite hard it tends to loosen up the plug after awhile. I know my male plug on the oxygen helmets go in and out quite hard.. Take Care 🤙🏼
Hey Michael, Hope you had a great Holiday. Thanks for stopping by the channel. I'm glad you got something out of the video and it helped in some way.. 👍🏼 Take Care !
Welcome to the channel 1grmaximus, I know. You would think the top Skidoo would come with the heated plug. Well.. At least for 2022 the skidoo’s come with Linq brackets.. They’re getting there. Lol Take Care
@@mxr248 Hey MXR24 Thanks for stopping to the channel. I agree, It’s like buying a vehicle that doesn’t come with a defroster for the windshield. 🤷🏼♂️ I would think its a safety feature so you can see clearly. Take Care and Think Snow❄️❄️
Hey Michael, Thanks for stopping by to check out the video. Yes.. Grip-N-Rip offers two different splitters. One for a single accessory and one for two accessories. I purchased and installed the 2 accessories splitter and powered my dual port USB charger in the glove box and my GPS. Here's the links to both splitters: Single splitter: www.gripnripracing.com/index.php?id_product=234&controller=product Two accessories splitter: www.gripnripracing.com/index.php?id_product=228&controller=product Take Care 👍🏼
Hey Gianluca, Thanks for stopping by the channel. All I can think of is a plug got bumped and unhooked or you forget to plug something back in when you reinstalled the hood? That happened to me once. I unplugged a sensor and forgot to plug it back in and the check engine light came on when I fired it up. Just doublecheck everything’s plugged in. 🤙🏼 Take Care.
Thanks John, and thanks for stopping by the he channel. I bought the Extreme lift from Up North Sports but looks like they’re currently out of stock.

Hey Jesse, Thanks for stopping by the the channel. To be honest I’m not 100% sure on any of the mountain sleds. There’s not many of those around here and I’ve never worked on one or seen one close up, only in videos. Take Care 🤙🏼
Hey Paiste.. Make sure you keep your Garmin Montana for the new sled. I recorded video when I converted my G4 wiring from the XS chassis so don’t get rid of that GPS. Use it on your new sled. The XS chassis uses different plugs compared to the new G4 wire plugs but Gripnrip make a conversion plug that makes it easy peasy. I’ll help you if you need help. I’ll get that video ready if your interested in something like that? Let me know. Take Care. 🤙🏼
@@SometimeIsNow You should post that video either way. That's good instruction that people probably want. If you get the 7.8-inch full-color display it has a GPS when connected to your phone using the BRP app. So if I happened to order that then I wouldn't need my Garmin anymore.
@@Paisteboy Ahhhh yes..true.. Your correct, the new 7.8 inch screen has it. So I guess your not going to need the ole Montana on that new sled 😉 You should install it on Zuke’s new sled so he doesn’t get lost anymore like when he rode with Shag.. LOL 😂 Take care buddy.

Hey David, Thanks for stopping by the channel. I totally agree. Heated shield plugs are so common now. But… then Skidoo wouldn’t make their billions off all their accessories. 🥴
Thank you for the excellent video. Precise and detailed instruction and great camera work, always focusing on the right spot and not obstructed.
Hey AZ, Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by the channel to check out the video. It’s appreciated. Take Care and think Snow ❄️

Can you tighten without removing the hood to reach under console? can you just tighten from the top side?
@@jpaul4595 Yeah should be able to just tighten the cap without holding the bottom just make sure the plug itself doesn’t spin a lot when tightening the cap. You don't want to twist up the wiring to much.. 👍🏼

@@jpaul4595 👍🏼 No, I haven’t been riding at all this season. I’ve been pretty busy. How about you? You get any riding in yet?
Great video. Really well explained and demonstrated. Thanks
Thanks Geoff, and thank you for stopping by the channel to check it out. I’m glad you got something out of the video. Take Care 🤙🏼
Took it step by step. Perfect. Thank you

Sounds like you received a bad visor plug kit from the start. I’ve had no issues and it’s been working great so far. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼
Thx for posting. you saved me a lot of time
Hey René, Thanks for stopping to check out the video and thanks for the kind words. It's appreciated. Take Care and THINK SNOW ❄❄
Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Hey J, Thank you for stopping in to check out the video. 👍🏼 Take Care
Gotta dismantle the whole hood for such a simple install!!!

@@SlowBee One of these days I need to get up your way and ride with you.. Did your buddy ride that new 900 yet??
Always impressed with your attention to detail. Mine came loose and all I had to do was tighten the cap. My guess is it wont be the last time?

Hard to believe Ski-Doo that isn't a standard option with the XRS package

Should come with all sleds considering how much they go for..

@@SometimeIsNow oh I’m doing more than thinking snow I’m praying for it. I live in northern Illinois and we need it.
If I wanted to use that assessors plug for adding USB power in the dash extension do you have to get some sort of splitter?

Followed step by step and it through a check light? Any ideas why that may have happened?
