I have a 1995 Ford Explorer , and with the engine running a mechanic disconnected both battery cables and it kept running - I was surprised!
if it has the stock terminals, you need a 1/2" wrench. disconnect the terminals, starting with the negative (black). then, disconnect the red (positive). use a 10mm socket to remove the bracket that holds the battery down, and pull the battery out. put new battery in, put positive terminal on first, then negative, then put on bracket.
Dead battery Loose or corroded battery terminal Blown fusable link
Disconnect battery for 15 - 20 mintues
One large terminal post to battery Other large terminal post to starter Small terminal post to trigger wire If extra small terminal post disregard
Under the glove box is a blue connector, disconnect it and disconnect the battery. After 30 seconds reconnect the battery and it should work. Leave the blue connector open for the lights to come on with the doors.
Disconnect the battery, remove the cover, remove the cables and boots, and remove the spark plugs. Put in the new spark plugs, replace the cables and boots, replace the cover and connect the battery.
check to see if your negitve battery wire (BLACK) has come of your terminal this Happened an my 2002 police interceptor thing just shut off
This sounds crazy.......your gas cap must click when you screw it on. After you have tightened your cap, disconnect your battery and wait 20 seconds and reconnect it. Your light should now be off.
Bad battery cable connection or dead battery
Two things. Either the battery is old and cannot hold the charge, or, there is something pulling current from the battery. ( like a short, or the radio or etc...) You can check this problem with an amp meter that can check the cable at the battery. 0.01 or 2 is okay. If it's 1.75 say, then you have to start to disconnect things to find out what.
tight and clean the battery cables.
