May be you accidently disconnected a sensor wire doing the repairs. Maybe you have to reprogram the vehicle computer because the battery was disconnected. LOL

Why does the battery keep dying in a 1996 Ford Contour?
Either the battery has a dead cell and needs replacing, or alternator is defective, loose or corroded battery cables, or something is draining the battery. Look for a courtesy, trunk, under hood, glove box light that is on. Also can be a defective brake light switch which causes the brake lights to stay on.
