1995 Lebaron electrical issue?

i just removed the battery today to replace the transmission shift solenoid. when i replaced the battery and connected the cables, the park and dash lights started flashing. the car turns over and will try to start but it doesn't sound like the pump is running and it ran fine before. is there some sort of reset switch or did i accidently come accross a new problem.:banghead: the car ran real good just the trans was in limp mode all the time. BTW-if i do have to pull the trans out, what all is entailed in that project?
