Default Popup won't go down, dash lights not working

As the title indicates

Pop up won't go down, dash lights not lid up.

Battery died too (I had the center console mp3 broadcast thing plugged in I guess that thing drains battery when car is not running?)

Car won't start now, tried boosting last night, two different 3 series bmws, just kept clicking then said reduced power but still wont start...

Wedding day today... was gonna take car for wash and wax.... what a fail... now carless too

Charge the battery properly or get another one.

C5s will have trouble starting if the voltage isn't strong. Just having a car with jumper cables attached sometimes isn't enough if a battery is stone dead.

If the battery is fully charged, and the starter is known to be good, I would look into replacing the ignition switch.

Many times the switch contacts are corroded, and fail to make good contact.
When that happens, nothing works.

I replaced fuse 6, fixed popup issue. It had a 10 amp, i replaced it with a 20amp (all I had)

I realized lights interior stay on (driver and passenger footwell area light, rear view two lights and even dash speedo lights) Dont know how to fix these...
