How do you replace battery on ford five hundred?

Answer 1

Answer:

If you can find the battery in the engine compartment then use a 10mm wrench, socket or ratchet to loosen battery terminals. There are two terminals labeled or imprinted on the battery, one is pos(+) and one is neg(-). Loosen both and pull of battery post. Take care not to damage terminals or cables because replacement will be required and much more difficult to accomplish. There will be hardware that holds the battery in place as well. This will either be a plastic wedge with a bolt that is usually 13 or 14 mm size. It will be located at the bottom of the battery and just loosen and remove. The other type of hold down is a 1/4 inch metal bar that runs across the top of the battery and has nut sizes ranging from 8mm to 12mm. Just remove both nuts or bolts to remove the battery. Reinstall everything reverse of removal it is a fairly easy task especially on domestic vehicles. Important, make sure the positive terminal(red or +) is connected to positive on battery and same with negative or the battery could short out onboard computer, melt wires, or cause fire.
