Default intermittent speakers

I have a 2006 Ultra with a factory radio. The speakers go out often, a flip of the speaker toggle they come back on. Tried to remedy the problem by changing out the toggle switch, nope same deal.

Saw on youtube something about the possibility of needing a cold solder inside the radio because of a loose connection???

now I'm more than lost?

As long as I might be having to get into the back of the radio? the red illumination light is out on the display as well. The radio was replaced by a dealer about 3 yrs ago. Looking for a fix to both the speaker issue and the display light

It's the stock radio Bro. You have one of two options. Take the radio out and send it to Ironcross audio for repair or go aftermarket.
