92 300 te radio wire help- pics

I bought this 92 300 te with no tuner. I bought a used oem one but after install it reads E2. If you can ID the wires that seem to be in the radio wiring loom but are not connected (in my hand) I would be most grateful. Also, do the plugs and number of wires on the radio back look correct?
Anyone please.

sorry, i have no idea what those extra wires in the loom are, it's been a long time since i installed my head unit...

this might help with the codes. do you have the security code for your radio?

"E2"or "E3" (Without CD Changer)

1 Input Power to the RECEIVER UNIT (Trunk mounted) is missing, Check with volt meter to test for 12 volts
2 Fuse of the RECEIVER UNIT (Trunk mounted) is open, Replace it with 7.5 amp fuse.
3 The BUS CABLE (gray colored) that connects to HEAD UNIT(dash mounted) to the RECEIVER UNIT(trunk mounted) is not connected or is defective.
4 RECEIVER UNIT(trunk mounted) is defective.


"E2 or "E3" (With CD Changer)

1 Input power to RECEIVER UNIT (Trunk mounted) is missing, Use a voltmeter to test for 12 volts
2 Check the RECEIVER UNIT for an open fuse and replace with 7.5 amp
3 Input power to the CD CHANGER (Trunk mounted) is missing, check with volt meter to test 12 volts
4 BUS CABLE (gray colored) is defective or disconnected,
5 CD CHANGER is defective, Disconnect the CD CHANGER from the HEAD UNIT, if the E2 code disappears, Replace the CD CHANGER,
6 RECEIVER UNIT (Trunk mounted) is defective.

I located the control unit, it is obviously shot, no doubt from it's proximity to the washer bottle!

What are these wires for?

Can anyone tell me what the wires are for in the second photo? My heater/blower is inop and want to know if they are related before I proceed.
