radio quit

I have a 2003 Ultra Glide the battery had died and I had to jump it off. Once I did this the radio quit. It came back on after I road it for awhile but then it quit again and wont come back on. The fuse is good under the left side panel but I am hoping there is another fuse behind the fairing. can anyone tell me where to start looking

Not sure if there is another fuse or not but the radio may have just died. They have a reputation of that. Just so you are aware.

So that would lead anyone to believe a blown fuse. It's been a long time but if my memory serves me correctly that model year had a fuse box under the fairing somewhere.

Might pull the fairing and check there. What doesn't make sense is the radio coming back on after it quit. That scenario would indicate a short (loose wire or burned wire) somewhere in the system.

At the end of the day it could be as simple as the radio dying as USAproud stated. Happens with those radio's all the time.
