If the USB port is not functioning correctly, consider the following:

• No Power to Device:
  • Ensure the motorcycle's ignition is ON.
  • Check the USB cable for damage or proper connection to both the device and the port.
  • Verify that the wire harness connections are secure and free from corrosion.
  • Inspect any fuses in the motorcycle's electrical system that supply power to the accessory port.
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure your device and cable are compatible with the USB port's output specifications.
  • Some devices may charge slower if they are in active use while connected.
• Intermittent Connection:
  • Check for loose connections at the USB module or within the wire harness.
  • Ensure the USB cable is not damaged or worn.
