Disconnect both batteries and turn your headlights on...do this for about five minutes, then reconnect everything and see if it makes a difference. If it does, the trans will have to "relearn", as you drive, so it might feel a little weird at first.

I'd get new batteries too, if they're not already, for peace of mind. I changed mine out this year with OEM Motorcrafts for $115 installed at the dealership.

Good luck.
