Default Battery Good, Truck Completely Dead

I was trying to reset my tire monitoring system today. I was following directions I got online, but apparently I did something horribly wrong. I went from a "service tire monitor system" to it saying service the stability trac and all sorts of other stuff. Not knowing what I did my dad suggested disconnecting the battery to try and reset everything. I did that and now my truck is completely dead. Nothing lights up or works, and I mean NOTHING. Any advice as to what I should do, or what the problem is?

2007 Silverado LTZ Z71 4x4.



UPDATE

Update on the problem. When I plug the battery up to a charger the dash lights come on, and I get a message saying service "battery charging system" "stability trac off" then it dies.

If everything was ok before you disconnected the battery, then you need to make sure you are getting good solid connections at the battery to the cables. These side terminal batteries can be tricky sometimes to get a good connection.
