Just purchased a 09 ultra with a quick release trunk. Previous owner cut and put blade connectors on the speakers and lighting wiring, but for the intercom, CB antenna and radio antenna they simply "cut."
Radio I don't need as they installed a fairing antenna, but I would like to reconnect the CB and intercom.
I'm no wiring expert so here's my quetsion...are the intercom lines and CB lines coax, or are they simply shielded? It appears there are regular wires inside the shield as opposed to the normal solid metal coax wire.
Anyone provide insight to how to reconnect the cut CB antenna wire and teh intercom wire?
the CB anternna wire is in fact a shielded coax cable. if you want to retain the ability to remove trunk, i would go down to radio shack, pickup a male and female connector and put one on each end.
The intercom wires (if you're referring to the PTT feature for the passenger speaker pod) should be color coded. Again if you want to retain the ability to remove the trunk, go by radio shack and find a male/female connector to piece them back together.
