Have a problem with me FLHTK. Rode the bike home yesterday in a downpour. Everything got wet. The radio was off the entire time. Went for a ride this morning and everything works except there is a CD in the player that won't eject. The radio periodically shows "Disk Error 1" but when I push the eject button - nothing. I ran through the radio diagnostics and all buttons report functioning ok. I pulled the maxifuse - left it out for a few minutes then reinstalled - still the same. All other radio functions work. Dealer is closed tomorrow and I am leaving for 2 weeks on the bike - any suggestions on how to get the CD to eject?
 
take it to the dealer. guaranteed it will pop out either before you get there, or after you get there and before they take it in to the shop.
 
you might try some cleaner for computer boards and switches to dry it out cnc makes a ele cleaner just for cleaning the conections of radios and such. or just ride with the door open
 
Looks like it will be going in to the dealer. Its had 72 hours to dry out. I've tried riding with the door open. Tried pulling the maxifuse again. Thanks for the replies but it just didn't work this time.
 
Update on the situation with the radio. After posting this message, we left on a 2 week motorcycle vacation. I had 2 different dealers look at the bike, shake their heads, and tell me that the radio needed to be replaced -"it happens a lot". Got home called my dealer - he said they have to see the bike then they can order a replacement. I had the flu but went anyway (60 miles each way). The service guy comes out, turns the key on, and says "yep, it's hosed. Replacements are on a 2 week backorder. Don't worry - we've done a lot of these and we can replace the radio in under an hour." I find that scary that the Harmon Kardon radios die this frequently.
