Battery replacement steps

Follow these steps to replace the battery safely and correctly.

1. Park on a level surface, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake. Wear eye protection and gloves.


2. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, then the positive (+). Use the correct size wrench or socket for the terminal clamps.


3. Remove the hold-down bracket and lift the old battery out of the tray. Check the tray for corrosion and clean if needed.


4. Clean the tray contacts and terminal clamps. If there is corrosion, use a baking soda solution and a wire brush, then rinse and dry.


5. Place the new battery in the tray, secure the hold-down bracket, reconnect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal. Tighten terminals snugly but do not over-tighten.


6. Double-check all connections, clear away any tools, and start the engine to confirm proper operation.

After replacement, recycle the old battery per local regulations and reset your vehicle’s electrical systems if required by your model or aftermarket devices.
