How do you change the battery in a 2001 Chrysler lhs?

Answer 1

You're not gonna like this... It comes out through the right front wheel well, XXXXXXX. It pretty much requires that you jack the car up enough to remove the wheel for clearance as well. The battery is held in place by two small 10mm hex-head bolts at the center-top of the battery case between the fill/ vent caps. Remove those bolts and set the hold-down aside. It's now loose. Remove your air cleaner housing. It's held in place by a single rubber grommet-push peg that's just inboard of the housing base. Loosen the large duct toward the back corner of the engine and then pull the two-part push pin that holds the duct resonator to the fender. PULL. A shot of lube sometimes helps at the lower grommet. Remove the inner cover from the wheel well (takes about 6 1/4" hex head screws). Remove the cover from the inside of the well or from the underhood area... it's a struggle either way. Now the battery can be slid backward and the clamps removed. The rear (+) terminal is usually a cast-lead unit and uses a 1/2" nut, while the one at the other end is a 10mm nut. Decontaminate as needed by soaking the terminals in a dissolved solution of water and baking soda until the fizzing stops. Clean the inner terminal mating surfaces well with a wire brush or whatever you have on hand... it's just got to show some shine to be truly clean and ready to go. Always ash your hands after handling lead! Installation is just the reverse of this procedure. The inner fender cover is predictably gonna fight you; just take your time and watch where the plastic capture nuts fly when they come off (lol). Piece o' cake! Ed
