Default Radio Light not working

I have a 2013 Tri Glide. The radio works but the light doesn't come on. Just happened. Is there some specific switch or wire on the back of the radio for the light or is this a "warranty issue" since I'm covered bumper to bumper for 36 months?

While under warrenty I would take it in for service. If you set up an appointment to "wait" you could probably drive it in, hang out for a while and drive it back home fixed. Should be as simple as pushing a connector back together.

If it's something more it could be a bulb simply needing replacement, or it could be a sealed unit that has to be pulled and possibly replaced for something as simple as a display not working or lighting up.

This is the point in time you should buy the HD service manual available for your model if you don't already have one. You really don't want to be without it.

Sorry for not being specific as to what it may be or how to fix it. But with the warranty I'd let the dealer repair it.
