First id remove battery and get it tested. Assuming battery checks ok you have a short somewhere that is draining battery. Could be fried ecu. From jumping but you could start to eliminate things by removing fuses one at a time from the circuits effected and watch battery voltage with mulimeter ... if that does not point to problem time to go to indie for better diagnosis ...

To update
Replaced Targa ECU and normal service resumed.
Stereo was unrelated
and it still has the airbag warning light on the dash
bust the reset is all working again.
thanks for the help.
