Have you tried using a new speaker wire? If you have one, just run it from the head unit (or amp if you have one in your system) through the cabin directly to the speaker just for testing purposes. If it works, you have a bad speaker cable. If it doesn't, then you have a different issue, possibly with the head unit or amp itself.

Do the base models have rear speakers from the factory? If not the pins on the harness may not be populated

If there are no speakers from the factory, as someone else stated, the factory harness might not support them without modification. I would try testing it with a seperate speaker wire from the back of the head unit directly to the speaker.
