Default radio display

About 400 miles in to a ride the display in my radio started to fade out for few seconds then come back. The screen just goes blank. I thought maybe it was the heat causing it so I shut the radio of. The screen still went blank in the off position.

The music never stopped playing when the screen would go blank. I had the radio fixed by iron cross about a year ago.

What could be causing the blank screen?

I don't know about the actual cause, but have the same problem on my 2013 FLTRU, the display occasionally blanks out but the CD continues to play. I asked at the dealer, their solution would be to remove the entire unit and replace it with a re-manufactured one. Since it continues to play and is warranted for 2 years I will probably wait until winter to have it done.

Probable loose pins. See this link for how to repair it.

Most likely not related, but my '14 streetglide screen simply did not come on yesterday afternoon. Started fine, but no radio/screen at all. Tried on/off and letting it sit for a few seconds, but still stayed off. Turned it on today and worked fine.

I've run an additional 900 miles since I posted and no issue. I do not keep the radio up all the way though plus it isn't over a 100* out here in South Dakota like it was in Nevada and Utah
