Default audio button seems loose

I have an electra glide ultra classic and it has a mode switch by the right grip that you can toggle up or down and push it in. There is also an audio switch by the left grip designed the same way but it seems kind of loose. I can kind of rotate it very slighly in both directions. Any one else have this issue?

My 04 is the same, probably worse than yours. Wear and tear I guess, but it still works, so I’m not about to fix it until I have to.

The switch caps have little copper clips in them. If they are worn, it causes them to be loose. When you buy switch caps they come with new copper clips.

The dealer will fix mine this Saturday. It is a used bike and they should have caught that before selling it to me.
