Radio Switching Functions By Itself

[Mikeg]

So I have come across a new problem with my Harman Kardon radio, I have an iPod shuffle mounted to the right hand control housing on my 2012 Ultra Classic. I run a cable from the iPod to the AUX port in the radio. Last week when I started the bike the AUX port changed by itself to the Weather Band; the iPod was playing when this happened. It took about four times of switching it back to AUX before it stayed there. Now it happens almost every time I start the bike and it takes about four tries of switching from WB to AUX before it stays on AUX.  Anyone with a similar problem? I am going to get some electric contact cleaner and clean out the AUX port with a q-tip and clean the cable leads to see if that solves the issue.

Thanks

Mikeg.  yes sir that's a good start with the aux port.

might want to get you a rag and wrap around your right handlebar controls also to catch over spray then soak the mode button real well.  It might be failing, dirty, or a bad wire inside.

Changed handlebars by chance?

UltraNutZ,

No, the handlebars have not been changed.  I did think about a faulty of worn mode button but didn't think to spray that down too. I will try cleaning soaking the mode switch and clean the AUX port and see what happens.

I had this issue on an 07 ultra while it was still under warranty so I let the dealer handle it under warranty, It took them 5 tries to figure out 2 wires were smashed in the fairing from the factory..  It wasn't easy to find but when it was found it was obvious, After the repair I never had another issue with that bikes audio system (still own it) HTH
