Default Stereo problems






2008 Electra glide standard stereo head unit is throwing codes for rear speakers, which I don’t have. The head unit came off an Ultra that did. Could this be affecting the ability to get sound out? I ran a buddy’s head unit off my bike and everything worked fine.

Thanks

Ultra coded radios with no rear speakers attached will throw rear speaker codes, but only open codes, not shorted codes.
Codes alone are not going to prevent audio output.

shorted codes can sometimes be an indication of liquid intrusion.

any amplifiers in the system?

amplifier will cause all sorts of speaker codes.
The codes are no longer valid, but will not cause an issue.

If there is no audio, the codes are not the cause
