Are the wires still intact (did he cut off the factory plug)?  If not (or even if he did, but still has enough length to reconnect the factory plug), go to the parts store or WalMart and pick up a harness for the car.  You can wire that directly to the radio connecting color to color, then it will plug right in.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

If he cut the plug off and is touching random wires together, chances are he already blew one or more fuses and it won't work until those are replaced. From the sounds of it I would probably cut your losses and get it done right. Also it is definately possible for him to damage the cd player by not hooking it up correctly. Here's the info I'm showing for that car, same as what this site shows in the vehicle wiring database:
Battery LIGHT GREEN/ YELLOW (+) RADIO HARNESS   
Accessory YELLOW/BLACK (+) RADIO HARNESS   
Ground BLACK (-) RADIO HARNESS   
Illumination LIGHT BLUE/RED (+) RADIO HARNESS   
Power Antenna ORANGE / LIGHT BLUE (+) RADIO HARNESS   
LF Speaker (+) ORANGE / LIGHT GREEN   
LF Speaker (-) LIGHT BLUE/WHITE   
RF Speaker (+) WHITE/ LIGHT GREEN   
RF Speaker (-) DARK GREEN/ ORANGE   
LR Speaker (+) PINK/LIGHT GREEN   
LR Speaker (-) DARK BLUE/ORANGE   
RR Speaker (+) PINK/LIGHT BLUE   
RR Speaker (-) TAN/WHITE
