Where does the acc. wire go from the back of the headunit?

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!!!! Just forget why it's not getting power. Run a new wire from an ignition source to the radio wire and you are done. It need not be fused + it only draws ~200mA. Get a couple 10ga butt connectors and splice in somewhere.

Tracing electrical shorts and opens are a waste of time; it takes no time at all to run a new wire.

Tracing shorts is a big PITA. But it could be as simple as a blown fuse that hasn't been found. I'd check the fuses first with a test light. If all are good, then run a new acc wire.

Anytime any circuit or wiring is added like this, it's a good idea to fuse it. It doesn't matter what the draw of the component is - if the added wire shorts to ground, it will start wiping out whatever donor circuit was tapped into or blowing its fuse at a minimum. That's not cool. If all is always copacetic, the added fuse will never blow anyhow.

I and several others mentioned running a new wire before...........

I also like to find the reason and source of shorts just for my own edification.
