Had the battery disconnected for a while to replace valve cover gaskets... Now that its back together it will not crank... I turn the key and get nothing... I have power to the starter constant battery power, all sensor are connected properly... When I turn the key, the dash does not dim like you would expect if there was a weak battery... Any ideas?
Bad Contact on battery terminals they may need cleaning and refit them , good luck .

I saw on another forum...that it is on the rear of the motor on the passenger side. It also stated that it is easy to replace. I haven't looked yet.

Replace the PVC valve, it's probably clogged.

1999 CONCORDE: check the battery terminals probably they are not tight enough...something like that happened to me just the lights turned on and the car seemed to be dead, the battery is still ok since then. I just needed to buy new terminals.
