Engine man fuse also don't the escos have a fuse by the battery??

Do you have ign lights?
does the starter turn?

If none of the above it could be immob/alarm
if one of the above is working then its possibly ecu related at most its prob a fuse

As I said, check all fuses in fusebox and the fuses by the battery, these are the main fuses.
