Might want to ask the mods to move this thread to a technical forum.

However you will want to roll the windows down slightly. Without the battery they will not lower on their own and you can do some damage if you open and close the door. Depending on how long the post is off you might have to relearn the window switches but it's easy.

Hold the brake pedal down after you disconnect the battery to discharge the system.

After you disconnect the negative cable from the battery, nothing electrical in the vehicle will function.

That is what will happen.

I am here to help.

You're welcome.

This is info that has been posted on this forum many, many times. I recommend searching as you will likely get a bunch of useless responses (flaming you for not searching) if you ask like this.

The primary one is the window reset procedure. I don't know it so don't ask - just search.

Others include radio presets and the clock.

I found his earlier post, and he is trying to install a corrosion control module (or something like that I think).

Like Chuck mentioned, you should hold the brake pedal after disconnecting the negative battery terminal to completely drain the charge in the electrical system. Also mentioned, if you plan on opening/closing the doors during the work, you should lower the windows slightly before disconnecting the cable.

When you go back to reinstall the battery cable, you will need to do a window reset procedure (I recommend you search the forum for directions - I don't know them).
