You should never jump start anything backwards. You can damage control units. So if you jumped it backwards, you will need to check all fuses and Main Fusible link to see if any are blown!
This does not sound like a security system.
Does the Head lights work? Hazard Lights work and Horn work?
Still not sure what you need?
