Default Lost 12V power after rewire. Help!

I've seem to have lost my 12V power going to my headunit sometime during a rewiring project.

Background:
2000 Ford Mustang, aftermarket Kenwood head unit installed by Best Buy.

What I did:
I wanted to tap the 12V wire to power a mobile monitor. However, sometime during the process I lost power from the factory harness. Now I can't power either the monitor or the head unit, together or separately. I've checked voltages with a multimeter.

What I've done since:
I've checked all the fuses in the passenger compartment. I looked up my fuse box diagram and swapped out any fuses that were associated with the radio.

Any ideas on what happened?

Also, don't know if you noticed it, but my fuse went once and your trip metere and odometer don't work (at least for mine it didn't) good info hehe

To my knowledge i THOUGHT it was my radio fuse, i forgot but i THINK my windows werent working too? OR my lock / unlock, one of the two.

I am almost certain it was my radio fuse, i actually blew the fuse when i put my gauges in. I do NOT do this, nor condone it, but if someone is gonna go this far to stop their odometer, easiest way to keep your radio working is run a wire off your ignition 12v to your radio.

exactly, but you still wouldn't have power to your windows/locks.
