From: where the weather suits my clothes
1) Check voltage on battery
2) Check battery cable connections
3) Are you sure the cables are connected properly (+ to + - to -)?

Make sure you clean those terminal before putting them on the new battery. I had this happen to me a few weeks ago when I replaced my battery on the TL. After I cleaned the terminals it started right up.

Maybe popped a fuse when you reconnected it?

Turns out that the battery that I bought and installed was dead. After I had to get my car towed to the mechanic and the ran the electric diagnotic check to see if there were any problems with the electrical system, they just tried a new battery and what do you know...everything is back and running perfectly....

You didn't check the voltage of the battery? You can get a volt meter pretty cheap now if that's holding you back. It will pay for itself quickly. (tow bill)
