Car will not start

2009 Ford Focus 1.6 manual
Car: Ford Focus
Year: 2009
Variant: 1.6 manual
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi, really hoping someone can help with this. I will keep brief.

Car left standing for 2 weeks, tried to bump, tried to jump to no avail. Then noticed that there is a warning message on the dash "transmission fault".

The radio is also not working.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Sean

Turns out I blew 2 fuses, 1 automatic transmission something or other (in a manual car) and also the radio fuse.

Thanks for the help.
