I pulled the radio forward after removing the dash / console bezel, didn't unplug anything, and now no power to the radio??
I was simply looking for a ignition switched 12v wire to splice into for a dash cam, but never got that far as none of the wires have power now.
I have checked for power at both the red and yellow wire on the factory big gray radio harness and nothing. Yellow should have 12 volts all the time, even with key off. Checked the #51 fuse, its good, and under hood light is on which is powered from the same circuit.

Where should I back track too and check for voltage next??

Thanks
 
I found the issue, some being operator error... My voltmeter probes were actually not small enough to fit far enough down inside the harness plug to make contact with the pins when trying to check for voltage. I took some solid core wire and made the ends very pointy and crammed down in the female part of the harness and then showed voltage. The male side of the harness plug had a bent pin, didn't think to look down inside of it closely.
