Unplugged antitheft box

While doing some interior and pedal work, I had disconnected the anti theft box. I forgot I had it unplugged when I tried to start the car and it of course wouldn't start. I plugged it back in, tried to start it, and the power in the car goes out accompanied by 3-5 soft clicking noises by the fuse box I think.

Now there is still no power in the car (for instance, the power windows don't work, the small light by the key doesn't turn on anymore, etc.) but when the key is in but in the off position, there is a really weak sounding alarm noise.

I tried locking and unlocking the driver door, but it still won't do anything except make that faint alarm noise when I put the key in.

By the way, I do have some other things unplugged at the moment (HVAC system and some other minor stuff), but I'm not sure how that would affect this unless it has some special ground somewhere that I unplugged.

Any ideas? Thank you!
