After a drained battery the radio is black. No sign of life. I have checked the fuse under the passenger side, but it is good.
I have tried any YouTube suggestions I could find. Holding down 1 and 2 buttons, trying in the accessory key position, etc. Etc.
I look to you, for your wisdom.

First thing is to try removing the battery cable and waiting a few minutes. Reconnect and see if the radio shows any life. Next check all of the fuses using a test light,

If the fuses all test good and still no life in the radio it is probably bad.

It can be. I have seen them lock out for that. If it does not work you have the option of replacing with OM or after market.
