I hooked up my battery tender, and after a minute or so this relay module started "clicking". Then after another minute, these bulbs in the headlights started flashing. I also noticed at this point when I inserted the key fob, the "Lock" light around the push to start was lit up (but wouldn't change after button presses, and the dome lights still didn't work).

Is this consistent with a dead battery? I disconnected battery tender, as it seemed like a bad idea to let the clicking and light flashing go on all night. I last drove it about a week ago, and I do remember the key fob light lit up on the dash.

Does anybody have any thoughts (besides part-out, lol)?

I had the same situation with my 2012, when I left the ignition on overnight and killed the battery. It took about 3 hours on a heavy-duty battery charger to get it to where the car would start. Based on what you said, SouthArk is correct, go get the battery tested and charged (auto parts store will do it for free), install in the your car, then go get the charging system tested. Even money bet is that your battery is toast. Good luck.
