Now the it won't start....
Rolled the car out of the garage and... it won't start! At first there was clicking, most lights were on in the dash, and the headlights starting flashing. Tried to jump start with our minivan - at least it gave enough juice to close all 4 windows. Let the battery charge for a few minutes then tried to resstart - now there is no clicking and the only dash lights are the battery and (?) i can't remember which but it is just the to right of the battery light. Any thoughts? Thanks

Fully charge the battery out of the vehicle... that would ensure proper charge, and also perform a battery reset on all control modules at the same time. Odds are it will start right up if you do that.

I use a trickle charger (2A) to recharge the battery in vehicle for at least six hours. This has been required three times so far in five years. At least twice because I left an interior light on
 Even the huge flatbed tow truck they sent the first time it happened had problems jumping my 04 4.4.

Just by disconnection the battery for a while, it will be done just by removing the battery to charge.
And when you put the freshly charged battery back in and start the vehicle, the DSC light will probably be on... just turn the steering wheel lock to lock and it should go off.

I would guess for the reset of all modules as he stated
