Sounds like the throttle lock is possibly binding up. Remove the right grip. There should be a little half moon shaped piece of plastic in there at the bottom of the switch housing. This plastic piece will have a small hole in the outside edge. This hole has to be placed over the pointed end of the throttle stop. The throttle stop is the plastic star wheel on the outside of the bottom of the right switch housing. There is a small metal Jesus clip on the inside of the switch housing. This clip is supposed to hold the stop from being turned completely out of the switch housing. It's possible the clip came off and is wedged in there.

Harley Heated Hand Grips not working

The harley heated handgrips are notorious for failing.  Some people have reported finding a loose connection on the ground wire, like they did not crimp the terminal on the end of the wire at the factory.  If they are wired externally of the bars (almost impossible to wire those any other way) then it should be easy to follow the wire down to inside the headlight bucket or in the nacelle or dash, (depending on what model bike) and check the connections.  If both grips quit at the same time then it's probably wiring.  If one quit first, then it may be the grip itself.
If you need to replace them, I would highly recommend not buying the HD brand anymore, and instead choose Polly grip heaters.  They are made for snowmobiles and have a long list of benefits over the HD type: - fits internally in the bar end, so you can use any grips you want - cost $35!!  compared to $250 for HD - easy to install
I have installed over 7 sets in my friends bikes and not one single failure.
