04 radio/cd player problem

I went for a ride a few days ago and everything was fine.&nbsp\\; I rolled up to pay a toll, paid, and went to turn the volume up on my factory 04 RG CD/ AM/ FM radio.&nbsp\\; Nothing.&nbsp\\; The volume is stuck all the way down in the CD mode.&nbsp\\; So now I have a CD playing that I can not hear, change the volume, change the track number, mode, or eject.&nbsp\\;

Anyone else ever have this problem.

Try disconnecting the battery for a few seconds......that should do a reset to the radio....I may be wrong..but can't hurt to try....

RE: 04 radio/cd player problem

I had one of the handlebar controls for the radio that shorted\\; it was always on.&nbsp\\; That caused the radio to lock up, it would not respond to any input.&nbsp\\; I found the switch was bad, replaced it and then all was OK again.&nbsp\\; You can unplug the wire harness from the switches one side at a time, and then try to eject the CD as a test.&nbsp\\; Good luck.

RE: 04 radio/cd player problem

Tried the battery disconnect &nbsp\\; Not so much

I took apart the front fairing and disconnected the switches for each handlebar to see if it sorted.&nbsp\\; That worked.&nbsp\\; The right side switch shorted.&nbsp\\; I reconnected the switch and it works again.&nbsp\\; We will see for how long.&nbsp\\;
