Default Radio has no sound

Hello all,
Its been a while since I posted. I'm having a problem with my 2017 Street Glide radio. I added an amplifier and speakers with a Biketronics line leveler. My radio is the standard without the navigation. It worked fine until my left speaker stopped working. I ordered a new amp and line leveler and installed. I'm getting nothing. I take the amp and line leveler out of the aquation and it works. I didn't do any flashing to the radio but never needed to previously because it worked fine. What am i missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On my last bike, the amp had a built in circuit breaker on the bottom. Had to be manually reset by pushing a button, then the light would come on and all was well again. Worth a look.

What amp do you have and could possibly help with diagnosis

Back when I got a Rockford amp to put into my old bike I watched a video of a guy installing one in a boat and he was getting a light on the amp but no sound. Turned out he had hooked everything up including the turn on lead but forgot to put the main fuse on the power lead back in.

Have you checked to make sure you have 12v and ground to the amp terminals and also have 12v at the turn on lead?
