I have a 96 goldwing that the mute is on and wont turn off the radio only goes half as load .

check to make sure they are connected to each other and the radio.

Take a test light and hook it up to the battery negative ($10) and check for power on both sides of the fuses with everything turned on. If a fuse has power on one side and not the other it is blown.

Bikes tend to have in-line fuses as well, and sometimes radio's have fuses plugged nto the back of them.

The radio system on the Goldwing is equipped with a "Mute" button. More often than not, the issues are from this button not releasing completely on the inside of the switch. I suggest playing with the mute switch. Work it "on" and "off" over and over.

mute is on not allowing sound,,,find mute button......

Had the same problem, there is a fuse on the left side, way down under all that stuff, it is just a line fuse to the radio, it has blown, it is not in the book, and it hides real good. Drove us nuts looking for it. And when we were ready to buy a new radio, we found the fuse. Took 8 hours to totally dismantle bike to find it. Will take you 10 minutes, good luck.

Check the 5amp fuse on the bottom of your fuse block. My 96 did the same thing. The fuse is labeled backup.

the key needs to be on to set the clock, and the radio may be set to headset or muted, Use the key to remove the radio clean contacts and try that.
