Unfortunatly you will have to pull the radio out and test the output from the radio (i use an old car speaker i replaced from my car) It sounds like either a connection is bad in the harness or the internals of the radio may be shot. If you do get output from the back of the radio, follow the wires back and check for resistance in the wires (you may need a wiring diagram) the ohm reading should be close to the speaker’s rating. easiest way is to pull a speaker from a door pannel and check the rating (usually stamped on the back of the magnet) Also disconnect that speaker and plug in a known good speaker and test for sound…

Its basically a process of elimination. I would first look at all the connections behind the radio. There you have access to all the wires related to the stereo system.

Hope this helps
