Default Ultra Classic Radio Problem.

I have a 2005 Ultra with 730 miles on it. Today the radio quit changing bands with the mode switch on the right handlebar and the one on the trunk will not work either. When the switch is pushed in it changes frequencies not bands. I think the handlebar switch is suspect as it has been touchy in the past, easy to change frequency instead of band if not pushed straight in. Anyone out there have a similar problem like this on their bike? I hope the dealer will have the parts as it is 400 miles round trip to get it worked on. Thanks, Kevin

Don't even sweat that problem, take it back to the dealer and let them troubleshoot it for you. I know for a fact that the wiring is pretty tight in the right switch housing and you might have a wire that is not secure and shorting out causing the problem. Your bike is too new to have ANY problems. Good Luck.
