Unplugged wiring harness

Hey guys, I just removed the aftermarket radio from the truck trying to find out why the speakers don’t work and I found a wiring harness not plugged in to anything. Anyone knows where it goes to? (Previous owner did the work, speakers never worked for me)

I think the one on the left plugs into the factory radio. Not sure about the one on the right. Been awhile since I put my radio in, but I think it might have something to do with the rear entertainment if you have it.

This harness should help you with your speakers. The other harness is for the console mounted controls. Very few have gotten them to work with an aftermarket radio.

Yeah the one on the left is for the factory radio and the orange cable is for the antenna I just can't find where the one on the right goes. I don't have rear entertainment i only have the thing in the center console for the CDs.

You would need the factory radio to plug in both connectors. The 2nd connector allowed the 2nd row to control some features, like the rear entertainment system. It would transfer control of the rear 4 speakers to the CD/DVD system while the dash unit still had control of the front 2 speakers.
