I'm getting the b2018 message. Just got this "11 road glide and one front speaker was working, took fairing off to check wires they appear good. After a couple days now neither front speaker work. Bad radio or bad wires to speaker?

B2018 is front speaker shorted to ground which means the voice coils are probably shot in both of them. Best way to tell is disconnect both speakers, clear the codes and then see if the code comes back. Likely you'll find your code changes from B2018 to B2017 (open) meaning it doesn't see speakers at all.

This is all providing there is no amp in the fairing. If there is an amp in the mix you can completely disregard any codes on the radio as that is to be expected.
