There is a 13 mm nut holding a bracket on. The bracket holds the headlight control box. You need to pry up the box to see the nut
Probably the same guy who first stuck a battery in a car. A battery by itself isn't any use, you need to hook it up to something, and that's when you need cables.
Either the battery cables are dirty, battery is not fully charged, or the solenoid is stuck.
if your battery is dead it will not give you back the key, you will have to put cables on the battery i found this out the hard way
I have a 2003 Expedition with a 6 CD changer that had a CD stuck in it. We disconnected the battery cables and then reconnected them (have your key fob close by in case your alarm goes off). When we reconnected the battery cables the CD player spit out the stuck CD and then reinitialized itself for about a minute or two. Then I could load and eject all of the CDs inside, and the CD player worked again.
i think my voltage regulater's stuck, the alternader tests as ok, but the battery goes dead if i dont diconnect the cables. i even tried a new battery.
If it starts every time when jumper cables are attached, you're getting a poor connection from the battery to the engine. Check the battery cables, especially the negative side, at both the battery and the end attached to the engine and/or body. (Note that, if the starter were bad, it probably wouldn't start consistently with jumper cables attached.)AnswerStarter needs to be replaced. Probably stuck brushes or bad solenoid. Try hitting the side of the starter with a wrench the next time it acts up. If it starts it's stuck brushes in the starter.
Remove the two bolts that hold the rear of the seat, then lift seat up and pull back. Remove the plastic cover above the battery. Now you can remove the battery terminal cables, start with the negative and end with the positive cable. Lift the battery up and out of its housing or box. If it is stuck there then check if there is foam or weather stripping holding it in place. If this is the case, a sudden jerk upward will free the battery. Put the new battery in, make sure it turns the same way as the old battery did. Now connect the battery cables, beginning with the positive and ending with the negative terminal. Put the cover above the battery in its place. Finally, fasten the seat in the reverse order that you removed it.
Seems like the battery is not makeing a solid connection. Clean the battery connections with a pencil eraser.
If the problem is a weak battery and everything else is ok. Find the cause before you take a trip. if your alternator is not charging you will get stuck as soon as you stop the car.
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery.
there is a bolt hidden from view, that holds a clamp that holds the bottom lip of the battery. It is located centerline behind the battery. It is practically invisible even with a flash light. You need to move the battery flap out of the way and some cables and you still may not see it but its there. It may also be covered with dirt making it dificult to see as well. And be carefull putting the bolt back in, if you drop it it will fall into a body cavity and never come out, Ive been driving without the bolt and never had a problem i years as the battery is very snug anyway.
Stuck parking brakes are usually due to dirty/worn cables. Try tapping on the brake backing plates with a hammer. Don't hit them real hard and damage them. Some times this will allow the return springs to back off the brakes. If it works and they stick again next time you use your parking brake you need new cables.
