Hazard Lights & A/c Controlls Out of Commision

So, I have been riding around now for about a year without an A/C and Hazard lights. The idiot who owned the my Rex first clipped the original wiring conected to the OEM stereo and spliced them to work with the New touch screen JVC. But he forgot to instal the Hazard lights and the A/c controls dont work right. No lights, all you could do is turn on the fan which blows Hot engine heat. On top of that the top diplay does'nt work the one with temp. Any Advice, or does anyone know where i can get the original wires so i could just plug and play my Metra Kit which has been sitting in my trunk for 6 months. I also want to wish everyone on this thread HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Errr...so let me see if I read this right...someone went in and spliced the connectors to a radio without using the Metra or Corksport kit and just left the unused wires bare? Not cool!

I know I saw the pinouts somewhere before I just can't find them now. Worst case...search through the electrical section here and find the radio.

Yes he totally did me wrong and did not use a Metra Kit splicing it into the Aftermarket radio. What a head ache, Worst part is i work all the time so i cant really be digging into the wiring all the time to try to guess what goes where. I actually bought a Metra kit thinking it would be a good fix but since he spliced the wires i have no clue what goes where. And the heat is starting to bug me. Especially when i drove up to the bay 7 1/2 Hour drive. Sucks big time
