Yes, pull the stereo right now and see what it looks like back there.

If it is just an aftermarket stereo and no additional stereo items (amps,
equalizer, etc...) then I wouldn't be too concerned about tracing back to
the fuse back or any of that as for a simple head unit swap everything can
be done with what's in the stereo cavity.

When you pull the stereo, did the person who put it in there use an adapter
harness or did they just cut the stock wiring to wire in the new radio?

If the cut method, then you have a rats nest to untangle. If they used a
harness, then your issue may be as simple as some electrical tape and/or a
wire nut came loose.

Pull the stereo, take inventory of what you see and start from there.
