Flat battery on a Focus

My Ford Focus 1.8 battery went flat. I left it in the garage for a month or so. It wouldn't start and a small red light above the radio was flashing when I turned the key.

I left it for another month thinking it was the immoblizer but now it is completely flat!

You have allowed the battery to completely drain down. Needs recharging. But this cannot be done in situ. You might need a completely new battery. But worth trying a jump start. See: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEORNtpujJw
