Is this a recent problem? Did all of these issues come up at the same time on your car, or was it one after another?

Start simple. Check all of your fuses for breaks, as a few might be blown

If any are blown, it could have been caused by wiring issues

If all you did was jump start the car to get it running, you need to invest in a new battery as the existing battery is likely suspect. The other checks for fuses are still valid.

If it's not the fuses, try disconnecting the negative terminal from the battery, wait for 15 mins, then reconnect the negative with a firm shove.
Sometimes if someone dithers when fitting the negative terminal you end up connecting and disconnecting several times and that can cause the electronics to get into a confused state.
The 15 mins lets all of the computers fully power off, and the single reconnect powers them all up at once.
