Unhappy 1997 expedition 5.4 electric problem need help

My 1997 expedition 5.4 4x4 after hooking my ground wire-to the hot lead on my battery it sparked and I removed it then I did it again realized I hooked it up wrong. Then connected everything up the right way, so after that my transmission has no power to it, the car won’t crank unless jumped and runs strong it will drive but stuck in 4th gear unless Manuel to 2nd when driving in 2nd and 4th gear it rides very smooth my speedometer stays on zero and odometer is not working either it’s giving me these codes P0755 P0750 P0743 P0708 P0141 P0161 I checked the live data on the last 2 codes(O2 sensors) they did not have a reading
As far as the car not starting. I’ve changed the starter solenoid still just a clicking noise from the fuse box
im thinking maybe it’s PCM not letting the car start because it sees another problem?
I’ve been testing/researching for almost 2 weeks and I am out of ideas and can’t seem to find a problem like mine?
any ideas or suggestions?

Welcome to FTE. It sounds like you either shorted everything, or polarized it. But, if you take your questions to the proper sub-forum, you will probably get all the help you need. Try the "Miscellaneous" section to start.

Don't forget to join your state chapter too.
