Default HK Stereo Problem

My FLHXSE3 HK stereo has develop wearied problem, sounds start to cut off for few minutes and coming back for few minutes until it despaired,now there is sound but it’s always high even if you lower the volume from thecontrol, if you raise the sound nothing will change same high sound once thevolume reach to the half it cut off sound!


So below half volume control sound is always high, above half volume control sound cut off, not sure if is it unit problem or wiring?



Thanks

The HK HU is failing. The best advise is to replace it with an aftermarket HU and handlebar control kit.
