No power power on light not illuminating on control speaker

Could be that the out put IC is blown

The protection system will come on if for example the speaker wires are touching, or there is an overload in the system. If you can't get it to clear, then suspect a power transitor has failed, causing a short circuit.

Power is supplied to the instrument illumination by the "TAIL/ILLUM LIGHT" fuse, Fuse #4 (15 Amp) located in the dash fuse block under the left side of the dash. This fuse provides power for both the primary and secondary sides of the TAIL LIGHT relay. The Combination (Headlamp) switch provides a ground path for the primary circuit of the TAIL LIGHT relay. When the primary circuit is completed by the Combination switch, the secondary contacts close and provide power to the tail lamps as well as to all of the instrument illumination bulbs. The ground for the instrument illumination bulbs is a variable-resistance circuit which is controlled by the illumination controller. The final ground for both the combination switch and the illumination controller is Ground G302, located under the center console.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this).

the power supply may be faulty. It is very common now days for power supply's to go out.

I would say they used the illumination ckt for grounding the radio and now it probably either needs a headlight / illumination dimmer switch or Body Control Module. I hope this helps.
Thank You,

Orange/White = Illumination (to vehicle light control switch)
Brown = Cell Phone terminal
White = Left Front Speaker positive (+)
White/Black = Left Front Speaker negative (-)
Gray = Right Front Speaker positive (+)
Gray/Black = Right Front Speaker negative (-)
Green = Left Rear Speaker positive (+)
