    Just wanted leave my thanks. Was halfway to work when the wife called saying battery was dead. Turned around, got it jumped, went to local auto parts store. They said they aren’t allowed to replace batteries on newer vehicles but can loan me all the tools needed free of charge. This was the first vid that popped up in the search results, and it’s perfect. Thank you.
    Does anyone know if it’s normal for tire sensors to go blank after changing battery?

  • @jonck146

    Thank you for your video! This is the second time I'm going under the hood of an American car, and it's the same deal. I see things that make me wonder, couldn't they have done better and simpler? 😂 But I'm the handy friend, lol, I can't say no. At this point, I can't help but be thankful for the simplicity of Japanese cars. They keep things as simple as they can. I could've started taking stuff apart and been cocky about it, but that isn't how I roll. I could tell there were computers and stuff, so I didn't want to mess up. Thank you for confirming that it is just overcomplicating things for no reason.

I particularly like how you show all the steps for *both* the removal of the old battery *and* installation of the new one. Follow this guide all the way through and you won’t miss a step, or have pieces left over that don’t seem to have a home!

When we got together, the next 5 years were nothing but problems including needing a new transmission at 140k miles! And it's a sealed transmission so they had to do a ton of extra work to install it. I replaced the serpentine belt myself and had to remove the passenger tire. Now this bullxrap work just for a battery. I told her the next car I'm inspecting it first. She bought this malibu way before we met. It's a piece of crap. N
