Default Speaker switch

The speaker switch on my 2007 Ultra classic started cutting out.

Radio would play switch the switch back and forth it would come back on. It is now not working at all.

Can I bypass the switch until I get a new switch in?

If so how would you do it. I listen to both front and rear speakers when riding. I can always use the handlebar control to mute.

Any help or advise would be appreciated. Be a couple of weeks before I can get the switch.

The answer is yes, it can be done.
Two ways I can think of.
1st, take everything apart to access the back of the switch and jumper as needed. But that likely means a pretty decent dissassembly.
#2 would be to find the wiring harness in the faring and do the jumper wires there. Only have to pull the outer faring there and figure out which wires to jump.
Or there's a 3rd option which would be to use earbuds directly to your phone until you get the switch.

Your radio is most likely broken.
