Battery disconnect switch while car is on trickle charger

I was working on the CEM this morning, and I forgot to disconnect the trickle charger from the trunk when I pushed the battery disconnect switch. I removed the charger after pushing the disconnect switch.
Now when I pushed the battery connect switch to restart the car, nothing is happening, car is dead.
I plugged the trickle charger back. Still nothing.
Did I mess something bad??

Just tested the battery, it's showing 12.7V, so I can rule out a flat battery.
Windows are randomly moving when I open/close the doors.
I am going to dive into the fuses now...

Is there maybe a in-line fuse for the battery feeding power to the car?

False alarm! I just didn't sit the cable back properly on the CEM when I reinstalled it earlier
All good now!

Glad you got that figured out! I would've been losing it if that was me. It wouldn't be the first time either!
