Here is a pin out of the factory harness, along with a wiring diagram for the radio. It is for an 07 but should be fairly accurate still.

Here's what you have:

#31 - Radio power - 20amp

#38 - Subwoofer - 25amp

Also in your engine compartment there's an Auxiliary box. Check R02 it's an accessory delay.

I think you missed at least one of these when you changed your fuses.

Good Luck

(PS) I've got the OEM radio out of my 07 that I'll sell for a good price. :-)
Thanks! So here's another update: I bought a fuse tester and tested EVERY single fuse in the passenger fuse box. Every fuse is fully functioning. However, I didn't check R02 in the engine compartment...I will check that tonight first thing! If that is it I could kiss you! (sarcasm)

Also, I bought a multi-meter to test the wire harness if the fuses were all working.

Thank you,

I have similar problem. Not intending to hijack the thread, but maybe this helps.
My radio display on a 2004 quit working during daylight hours with head lights off.
With headlights on, I have a normal "dimmed" night-time display.

I also have a parasitic battery drain after 3 or 4 days when the truck is not driven that kills the battery.

I noticed that at night, with the truck "off", there is a weird low level white light coming from each of the control light display indicators on the radio and the climate control area.

If I drive the truck every day, then all is well. (Except no radio display info).

I need to fix this. Any ideas? Thanks!

Has testing the new heads functionality with it being hooked up only to truck power been discussed? No other outputs connected.

Do you have a multi-meter? If so, check the voltage at the radio connector for battery voltage for the "key on" and "memory lead" (hot lead with key out). One of these has to be the issue. Since the radio indicates some activity, the ground lead has to be good.
