Installed my CD player yesterday and somehow I lost a harness...

I installed my new alpine CD player and somehow the harness that connects to the clock went missing. I'm not joking I couldn't find it for the life of me, after searching an hour I finally gave up and put it all back together, but now I have no clock and the left side of my climate control doesn't light up.

Any advice on where or how to search for this? Does anybody know where the origin of the cord is, so I can just trace it back from its source?
Thanks
Tim

I'd find a junkyard that has a 3rd gen and just go pull it yourself.

i betcha anything you plugged that harness into one of the wrong slots. iirc, the clock harness fits into two identical slots. thus, take the center panel off and unhook all three harnesses and start by plugging in the clock first.

sadly, I've done this before for the longest time I thought I blew a fuse or something

The harness does fit into the rear window control slot. I didn't know whether or not that harness was needed, but when I plugged in the harness to the remote window one the window control worked. I did not try to see if the harness was needed for the switch to work, do you think that the rear window control slot was open already.

I've got a 2000 and the first time I took out the center panel I did the same thing. There is an extra socket back there for whatever reason. I thought maybe its for the Limited's with their fancy heater controls???
