Default Radio wont work after jump starting

I drive a 2006 F-150 xlt and the other night the key was left on in it all night. After jump starting it the next morning my radio didn't work. I replaced the radio fuse, even though it didnt look blown because I figured it was the cheapest place to start looking. Does anyone have any idea what could've happened?

Look in your owner's manual there is more than one fuse for the radio, I think the second fuse is either 35 or 37 on the list I think it says something like radio control or something, but don't me to that. I had an issue with radio power a few months back and the second fuse was the problem.

Thanks! I checked it out and checked the 2nd fuse, which was blown. I musta just been rushing and quit looking after I saw the first fuse that said radio on it in the owners manual.
