Default AUX jack fail

I just bought a new Hogtunes audio cable for connecting my ipod, and only get sound if I push with some force the plug end in with my finger on the audio cable. The aux input would seem to be recessed somewhat; not making contact with the plug.

A radio diagnostic finds no problems.

Any suggestions?

The AUX jack is a loss without an expensive repair, so I started using my itrip FM transmitter with my ipod. The quality of the sound is not as good as with a hard wire, but not too bad at speed either. It's better than being forced to listen to commercials. I'll save the Hogtunes cable for my next Ultra...

I would try another cable. Should be able to pick one up at Wally World or Best Buy.

If you have the Hogtunes cable I saw on their website with the 90 degree ends, go to Wal Mart or Radio Shack and get a cable with a straight end. Looks like the 90 degree end is bottoming out on the radio itself. If your aux. jack is not working, let us know and I will have another solution for you.
