Help...low beam problems

Hey guys! I'm pretty new to the forum and even newer to working on TLs. I was able to replace my low beams without any problems until I put everything back together. So I started out by unplugging the batteries due to high voltage issues. Once I plugged everything back in, my low beam turned on fine, but my car would not start. I had someone turn the keys in the ignition for me so I could inspect what it was doing under the hood and when you turn the ignition, a spark comes out of the negative battery cable. I'm thinking it's something to do with some electrical unit, but I'm clueless as of this point. Any opinions?

Thanks for all the help.

LOL okay guys now I feel like a complete idiot. This was my first time ever doing anything on this car since I bought it in October if 2008. After taking a close look at everything, I found a chunk missing from the negative battery terminal on the battery. So I figured there was a connection problem right there. I readjusted the cable and tightened it and voila, it doesn't spark anymore and it starts. NOOB I know! Thanks for all the help!
