Question Mode Switch Problem????

06 Electraglide Classic - On its own, my radio keeps switching from AM to FM to CD etc., and will switch stations and CD songs. My mode switch works perfecly, and at a stop the radio works fine. When I accelerate from a stop of just going down the highway it switches badly (like every 10 seconds) . Could this be the mode switch even though it seemingly functions perfectly? Hate to replace this switch if that isn't the problem.

Thanks for any ideas - Greg in Austin

At the top of the Touring forum there is a sticky for using the HK radio's self-diagnostic feature. That may help identify the problem.

Often, switch problems are the result of pinched wires at the switch housing/handlebar.

And those switches do wear out occasionally.

Try Iron Cross Audio; they're experts in HK radio problems. Just google the name for contact info; very good guys, and great service.

You're welcome.

Also, this "Audio" forum is pretty new; most questions like yours are posted in the "Touring" discussion forum where you'll get far more views and responses.
