Slow turnover

RanRich · 08-31-2016, 03:00 PM

Just ordered an Optima RedTop! From what I read the consensus was the YellowTop was a bit more than needed and the RedTop was a perfect fit. Will be here Friday afternoon, gotta love Prime.

Thanks for the help everyone! Following this DIY to knock out this weekend:

Remove the four clips from the perimeter of the battery compartment surround. To remove each clip, use a small flat blade screwdriver and gently pry up the center round "head" of the clip, then pull out the entire clip.
Remove the battery compartment surround; note the section at the front driver side that goes under the support bar.
Remove the passenger side windshield cowl's rubber hood seal just to the rear of the battery compartment - there are four clips embedded in the seal, just put your fingers around them from between the firewall and the seal and pull up
Remove the passenger side windshield cowl (two clips that are the same as the battery compartment surround). Note that there is a tab (but no clip) where the cowl goes underneath the windshield seal - pull this up slightly, then pull the cowl out.
The battery should now be fully visible and accesible.

Reverse the process to put everything back together again. To reinsert the clips, push the center portion of the clip all of the way up, then insert the clip into the trim piece (the surround or cowl), then push the center portion of the clip all of the way down (you should hear a click when it engages).

HTH!

Some other battery related things to know...

From Trips:
Remove the battery cover and the cover panel, Disconnect the negative then positive then swap in the new battery, and reverse the procedure.

All that's left is to reset your windows, and your fav radio stations and your done.

Here are the window reset procedure just in case.

1. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.

2. Close the door.

3. Open the window completely by operating
the power window switch.

4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to
close the window, and then hold the switch
more than 3 seconds after the window is
closed completely.

5. Release the power window switch. Operate
the window by the automatic function to
confirm the initialization is complete.

6. Perform steps 2 through 5 above for other
windows.

others have noted:...Disconnect, the negative first, then reconnect the positive first on the new battery
