On my 13 CVO ultra Classic last weekend the music started to just quit. I could see that it was still playing but there was no sound. I flipped the switch on the dash from the speaker only position to the headset & Speaker position and my music could be heard again! About a half hour later I could not here the music again so I flipped the switch back to the speakers only position and my music could be heard once again!
Yesterday I went to take the bike out for a ride and I could not hear the music at all. Didn't make any difference if it was the MP3 player, CD player or FM radio or the Ipod. No sound could be heard. I attempted playing with the speaker switch again but that trick did not work this time.
About 3 weeks ago I had the bike at an indy to adjust and lube the head bearing. I am certain that they had to remove the lower dash panel where the speaker switch is located. Could it be I have a bad connection there? Everything worked fine for 3,500 after they worked on the bike. This problem started the last day of my 4,000 mile trip.
I did not go dig out a head set to try that to know for certain that the radio is working at all but like I said, I can see that the time stamp on the songs is moving so I know it is being played, just not heard.
Do I have a serious radio issue or am I leaning in the right direction with a bad connection at the speaker switch? I have to find my manual so I can figure out how to remove the ignition switch to get to that lower dash panel.
Thanks for the help!
