Default help? anyone?

I have a 1999 electra glide classic.
The radio will not work all the time, when it does not come on I unplug the wiring harness from the rear and replug it in and it will work until I turn the ignition off. Then it does not work again.

Welcome from sunny So-Cal! Sounds like a possible ground problem.Check n make sure all connections are solid, even unplug the harness(s) and check for corrosion on the connectors. Good luck
