Default radio help needed

My Roadglide lost a battery connection and I tightened the connections and radio has no sound. It has a amp but the fuse is hooked up and fuse is good. Did the self diagnosis and nothing out of normal, just open front speaker as is should when amp is installed.

Check the fuse where you get your remote turn on wire hooked up.

What amp are you using? when you turn the ignition on do any lights on top of the amp light up?

I've seen so many of the stock HU's just stop working for no apparent reason it's very hard to diagnose. If you have checked all your wiring, fuses and connections. I'd almost be
willing to bet it's time to pull it out and send it to Iron Cross. I'd double check all my connections and unplug the radio from the harness and plug it back in. If it's still dead in the water call IC for suggestions. Very reliable Very reputable company with excellent customer service.

Sorry for the double post: My 4G appears to be running at 2G today.

If you get another one of those 2G phones and hook them up in series you'll be back to 4G.
