Why would the stock radio in a 2000 Toyota Echo work but the sound went out all at once?

Most likely there is a short in the wiring. This is a somewhat common problem with the Toyota echo, what happens is cargo in the trunk bumps the back of the rear speaker, causing a wire to come lose or break off, which can cause a short and you lose sound completely. Take a good close look at the wires to the speakers in the trunk. If you don't care about sound coming from the rear speakers and you don't want to fix it, you can just cut damaged wiring and tape it off, this will restore sound to the front speakers.
