Thank you so much for this video it was soooo helpful. My dad just recently passed away from a motorcycle accident and his car sat for not even a week and the battery was DEAD DEAD. We couldn’t move it and wanted to attempt to replace the battery on our own and were successful first try with this video. So helpful and very grateful on how descriptive you were, helped us from a lot of problems 💕 Thank you

question ? ... im trying to replace my battery also but everytime i put back positive/negative terminal , horn goes off ... what will i do ?

[@BIsForBudget]

Hi, what you can try is: Have your physical key ready. Connect the negative terminal (the horn will go off). Then quickly go to the driver's side door, insert key and turn right (unlock). This should stop the horn from blaring. Hope this helps.

I replaced my battery and the fan area started smoking...what's going on

[@BIsForBudget]

@@BROKEBOY1000 I've replaced dozens of batteries and have never experience that. Something is clearly not right. Please take the car to a qualified mechanic/dealer.

Im trying to find anyone with an answer for me. My pilot sat for 2 years without a battery and now, with a brand new battery, the dash lights wont even come on to start and there was no previous problems. What can i do?

This was on another car, but I had to leave the battery and the charger on the car for a day or two, for certain modules to charge and "reactivate".
