Default not BS

this really happened on my 07 road glide.
Im headed from so Il to central wis, got my favorite cd playing and go to change it out.it wont eject, try to go to fm it wont, try to turn it down it wont, turn it off it wont, turn bike off on long coast turn ign back on, radio back on full volume still. I would have gone beserk if not for the speaker switch on the dash, that I finally thought of. After the second gas stop I cked it and was back to normal.

I'm in central Wisconsin and I was on snowmobile today. Guessing this was a while back? My only guess or suspicion is ya washed bike before departing and ya had the mysterious H2O gremlin? I've had that with other switches after a bike bath and never surfaced again.

Had that same gremlin attack my Hi-beam switch once. Low beams fine, high beam...nothing. Turn it back to low....2-3 second delay..lights back on. He's an evil little critter that gremlin.

I've got to ask, was there a moral to the story or did happy hour start extra early today?

My suggestion would be not to play with your CDs while going down the road...... Just a thought.
