Audio cutting out
I posted this in the audio forum and didn't get any feedback so I thought I would post it here.
A couple weeks back I posed that the stock radio audio was cutting out on my '09 Ultra Classic while riding. When I flipped the 3-way speaker switch to another position the sound would come back. I've ridden all day sometimes without it messing up and other days the sound cuts out intermittently a few times. This morning the dealer replaced the 3-way speaker switch and the audio works find while sitting still but still cuts out when on the road.
This is one of those things you cant make it stop working while sitting still. You know that saying, "if it isnt broke we can't fix it" the dealer says.
Anyone have any ideas what may be causing the problem?

The warranty has already expired.

I do have a CB but I don't use it. The CB LCD indicator would light up if it was on.

Do you have an amp? It may be a bad ground connection, I have chased this same type of issue myself. Once was a bad ground for the amp, the second time it was the 3 way switch not fully engaged (I guess I bumped it while cleaning off the bike).

I went for a long ride and not one time did the audio cut out. I hope that fixed it.
I appreciate everyone input.
