My car battery died because I left the lights on, I charged the battery and it seemed okay, but the speedometer, fuel gauge, etc. Do not work now? Any help?

Actually, I thought about what u said and realized that I disconnected the entire battery, not just the negative like you said. So I tried it and I just checked it right now and it work.
