Radio trouble
Truck info, 01 Dakota SLT, 4.6 V8 , 2WD, 4door. This is the wife's truck we purchased new for her, she loves her truck. A few years ago we upgraded the radio t an aftermarket unit, following instructions, made up all connections to/for wiring harness and everything work just like it was suppose to. After several years started have problems loosening the sound, like hitting the mute button. Well it finally lost sound and never came back. The unit was still on, but no sound from radio or any other input. After a year or so t purchased a new aftermarket unit and as before following installation instructions, I made up all connections, powered it up, did the little programming steps, tuned to a radio station and had no sound.
I have spent hours checking and rechecking different trouble shooting steps I have found in this and different forums, but I am at my wits end.
I have used an ohm meter and according it it there are no speakers connected to the harness. Have not pull the doors apart yet to check the speaker connection yet.
My question is there other connections in the wiring harness, if show where? I don't want to take apart anymore than I have to .
I forgot to add that this is a basic system, no amp and no blue wire in the factory wire harness.
So what do you guys think, where do I go from here?

Ok I'll
Ok I'll give that a try tomorrow, but like stated before, sound was on and off with the second unit like useing the mute button, then it lost sound completely, this is now a new unit I am installing and not getting sound from it. I check using an ohm meter and it's like there are no speakers connected , could all 4 speakers work intermittently together and then stop working completely at the same time? Is there another connection in the harness? I hope I'm explaining this understandably. Don't give up on me,

Again...At the back of the radio, disconnect a speaker wire and hook up any speaker...even one from a clock radio. You just need to know that the radio itself actually works.
I don't have the Infinity system, but I'm still not sure that the OEM wiring is a straight run to spkrs. When I first got the Dak, I pulled out the interior and ran all new speaker wires to the doors and installed an under seat amp.
