You forgot to re-connect your battery.

Have you had the battery checked? Who did the repair? What was the issue? Was it starting/running fine before? How many miles? What transmission? Have you checked the battery cables? Fuses?

Yes, all were fine before. Didn't touch wires, just radiator and bumper, all lights come on but will not crank over.

Having lights does not mean the battery has enough power to turn the engine over. Either get the battery tested or try to jump start the car. If it starts with a jump, then it's the battery or cables, etc.
