Loosen the bolts holding the negative battery cable to the negative battery post. Once you loosen the bolt twist the cable until it comes off. Wait 30 seconds and reconnected it.

How does a battery disconnect work?

A "battery disconnect" is nothing more than a special SWITCH designed and manufactured to be able to carry very large [heavy] electrical current. The one with which I'm familiar mounts on the positive battery terminal after the cable has been removed, and then the cable connector is attached to the output terminal of the disconnect switch. This switch allows one to totally and completely "kill" the battery voltage to the auto circuits, without having to use a wrench to loosen a battery terminal clamp and manually "wrestle" it from the terminal.
