What was the test method? You pulled all of the blade style ATC fuses? In the cabin too?
The bus bar fusable links would be best if done via test lamp that draws current.

Beyond fuses you likely have an open somewhere. Either ground, hot 12+, or some data link.
I'd pull the ECM as many have found compromised connections here.

I did take a peak at the ECM, but not thoroughly. I will double check that.

all fuses, including the ones under the clear cover have been checked, double checked, and triple checked.

Does the green push button led lights up?

No, the green LED does not light up, there is no respose from the vehicle when that button is pressed.

FWLIW: on a functioning system recognition of the key fob triggers the puddle light and lights ignition button Green simultaneously. This is from outside the car. Car is locked.

Ok so if you sit in your car does your dash lights come on? does the green light comes on the push button? So it happened to me once i parked it and it wouldn't start. no lights on the dash battery was good just the green light on the button when you hit the brakes with key in the pocket. It was the fuel pressure sensor. Disconnect connect back if it fires up and shuts off then its your issue.
