First thing I would try is unhooking the battery for a few minutes and try again.

hmm sounds like it is more than just the battery but it wouldn't hurt to try and see if that solves your problem. Otherwise I would take it to a place (around here place called AutoZone or Advance Auto parts) and they hook up your car to a computer for free to check for the error messages and they can reset the errors if it was triggered for some other reason.

Glad to hear your back up and running
Dont worry about the trac warning lights either
That is almost always a typical sign that your battery is week and on its way out
While starting or after first started Trac lite and possibly others lit up briefly and goes right away
