So, I left my lights on by accident for a few hours and drained the battery. After this I jumped it and it started. Once I got it started I realized that the radio, interior lights, instrument panel, and clock are now not working and the airbag light is throwing code 12 for low battery voltage. Thoughts?

edit: forgot to mention i also put in a new battery

Did you jump start it using another car or a jump start pack? Spikes and noise are more common when using another car, so if that was the scenario it would be worth checking fuses and relays to see if there's one that's common to all those items that are not working and then confirm whether or not they are getting power.

I used a jump pack, couldn't find any blown fuses weirdly but haven't checked any relays.
