Re: aftermarket radio doesn't work anymore.

Just to clarify, when you say you have power to the plug, do you have it to both the red and the yellow wires of the radio? If one has power but the other doesn't, the radio doesn't work.

Re: Need to tow car no front wheels

If nothing else, go to a wrecking yard and pick up a couple of wheels with tires. Something you could get for cheap for roller purposes would be S10 wheels, the bolt pattern is the same.
