I silenced the backup speaker today. Saw a post on MachE forum on how to do it, but Lightning is a bit different....
It is very simple tho...
The speaker is just behind the front bumper on the pass side frame rail. I took it off and out, but there is no need to do that... The MachE speaker can be disassembled and resistor added inside, but not the lightning (unless u want to solder) So removal/disassembly gets you nowhere....
So, just lay under truck
unplug the speaker and add
A resistor into the harness connector (5watt 4R7 4.7ohm off Amazon).
See pics.
I bent the resistor wires as shown and inserted into end of the wire connector, it fits tight, sealed it with dielectric grease and taped it up. I realize there is a more elegant way to do this, but as an experiment it works great and only takes a couple minutes.
Enjoy the silence!

Thanks for the info.

They look great !
Tinkered with the power-up update time frames a couple of times today trying to trigger the Lightning to process 3.5.5, no joy so far.
Instead of taking the Lightning for a drive to top off the LVB, I took advantage of 57º, Blues sky's and lonely country roads to give the Street Glide an early mild winter ride, therapy to me.

Not sure if we all approve taking time away from answering all our anxiety filled questions that most likely been answered 100 times already and is just a search prompt away.Tinkered with the power-up update time frames a couple of times today trying to trigger the Lightning to process 3.5.5, no joy so far.

No sarcasm font choice available.
Hope you had a great ride.
By the way I have old Rockport Mass heritage. Family settled in Dedham Mass in 1636. I am a direct descendant of John Guild. Still have a family home in Rockport dating back to 1850. Love Cape Ann.

Finished the decals. I had got the 3d carbon fibre ones off of Etsy for the tailgate, but they didn't have them in carbon fibre for the fender/charge port door. So I had to make my own, not 3d, but they are carbon fibre... also photo of seat covers... and the annual trek to the mountains for the holiday tree... trek started out fine... but turned into a rainy, muddy mess, and our favorite tree farm was closed! Oh and a photo of the seat covers I did a few weeks back. Haven't tried with AC, but the heat penetrates through them no problem...
