It's a simple fix that should have been done at the factory, and it can leave you stranded on the road.......that's what pisses me off about it.
My buddy's bike is an '05 EGC, mine is a '05 EGUC.............but I'm sure it's not limited to just '05s since the wiring is the same on all touring bikes.

Issues like these aggravate the s**t out of me! I had the same type of issue with a wire bundle that came out and was secured with a Christmas tree clip to the bottom of the radio. I don't know if it was misrouted at the factory, or by the PO. I had to pull the terminals out of the connectors, re-insulate the wires with shrink tubing (two layers)reinstall the terminals and correctly route the harness. It had been run under a bracket with a 90 degree bend instead of on top, so it chafed thru.
I wish I had taken photos of it, so I could communicate the issue more clearly.
Glad you got yours resolved!
It would really help
