Even if it doesn't have them...it have a fuse which would blow on short.
I know. I will try to put another radio in when I have time and I will check. I don't know what else to do right now

An aftermarket install can be wired in just about 1000 ways. Tough to web-assist.

Yeah I know. I was just wondering if it is a common problem for some wiring to go bad or whatever info I can get that will help me with troubleshooting the problem myself

It seems like I'm missing the second plug that goes to the stock radio (the smaller one). Is this a part of the dashboard wiring or the wiring that sits on the car when you remove the dashboard?

Do you have the amplifier option on your car? Either way it should still be there if you are using the standard wiring loom for the speakers. I don't believe it can be removed separately from the loom. It must be stuck or hidden somewhere as you would need it for even the aftermarket radio. The amplifier version just uses one of the wires (a yellow) one, the regular no amplifier version uses all the wires for speakers.
