How do you change the battery on a 1992 Olds Cutlass Supreme?

Answer 1

I've have had to take the batteries out of the two 1992 2-dr Cutlass Supreme convertibles that I own. It's just a bit more work than usual in that you have to first remove the support that runs at a 45 degree angle over the windshield washer fluid bottle, which is on the driver's side under the hood. Take out the front two bolts, loosen or take out the rea bolt and you can take the support out, or rotate it out of the way on the rear bolt. Then remove the washer fluid bottle - unplugging the electrical connection o9n the washer pump at the rear of the bottle, and taking the rubber hose off that is near the hose will make it easier to remove the bottle. Hopefully you won't have too much fluid in the bottle, or it can get messy. You will have to pry out the front two plastic clips using a flat head screwdriver, or something similiar. Remove the other nut securing the w/w bottle ands remove it, exposing the battery. With the proper socket, and extension, remove the bolt and rubber piece that is on the long side of the battery at the bottom, securing it to the battery tray. Undo the connections to the battery terminals and lift the battery out. Installation is pretty much the reverse. Incidently, the two horns this car is equipped with are tucked in the fender, behind the battery, so all of the same steps have to be followed to access them.
