Yellow radio wire problem

Hey all. Installing a CB in my 86 4Runner I first tried tapping into my yellow wire to the Kenwood. It's constant on and is suppose to be power for the radio's memory (IIRC). Anyway it worked fine when I tested everything then re-assembled the dash, rechecked and no power on radio or CB. Some wires must have moved during the re-assembly. I still have power from the red 'key-on' wire to the radio but the yellow is dead. I traced back to the harness plug and still dead. All the fuses in the kick panel and under the hood look good. I'm also running an aftermarket amp and those fuses are fine. I have a crappy Haynes manual and the wiring diagram doesn't show me what I need. Any ideas? Thanks.

Turned out the factory single blue wire w/yellow stripe came unplugged. Not sure how the factory clip came loose but it was hiding under the other wires. Anyway, all fixed.

Once again my Toyota didn't let me down, it was something I did.
