[@nestormacias9951]

No problem! I ran into the same issue these cars are a hassle LoL glad I was of help! Let me know if you need help with anything else.

[@angel71rs]

I just replaced mine, this video was helpful, thanks! A word of caution: on my car the sheetmetal near where the battery posts are had some sharp burrs. I tapped them flush and covered them with duct tape to prevent getting cut up.

[@nestormacias9951]

angel71rs thanks for that I’ll keep it in mind as well!

[@AlexRodriguez-gg2fk]

Thanks for the video! Excellent step by step instructions that really helped. Just replaced my battery and thanks to your help it seemed like I knew what I was doing! 👍🏼

Glad I was of help 👍🏼

[@nathangebben5738]

Thanks for this, Very well done step by step. Def A little much for just a battery lol. But Ive seen worse

[@nestormacias9951]

Nathan Gebben yes definitely!! But gotta get it done! Thanks for the comment sorry for the late reply haha

[@Incognito-----------]

I sell and install batteries, just had a customer come it with this vehicle. I swear, engineers never ever have the customer in mind when they build these cars. dismantling the entire inside of the trunk just to replace the battery is absolutely ridiculous to say the least smdh

[@nestormacias9951]

Yes absolutely horrible!!

[@ceocontrae5079]

Thank you for the help such a life saver ✊🏿✊🏿

[@nestormacias9951]

Glad I was able to help out! 👍🏼

[@abelassefa1437]

This is so helpful thank you. Other thing, I really want to know how can you remove the taillight (I just got the LED light bulb module to replace the bad one. is it doable cuz everyone including the dealership recommend me to change the whole assembly.

[@nestormacias9951]

let me know if you still need help! sorry for the late response

[@ML-fb4qe]

Thanks for the vid. There’s so little info/vids out there for this car!! Lol. My ATS is recently having some issues plus the battery is on its way out so I’m going to replace this weekend. Was there any issues after the install as far as codes or anything that needed to be reset or recalibrated? Thanks again. Sub’d!

[@nestormacias9951]

Michael L Tell me about it! Very little on this car which can be a good thing I guess lol but nothing needed to be recalibrated when you install the battery.

[@jermalllusk8260]

Thanks

[@mplscarsales6652]

After replacing batter says in owners manual you have to turn ignition on but do not start engine 2 leave ignition on for 3 minutes so electronic throttle control cycles and relearns it’s position 3 turn engine off 4 start run engine for at least 30 seconds did you show the relearn procedure this is for push button start only I believe

[@nestormacias9951]

Good catch on that. I personally didn’t do that on mine and it’s push start as well.. I didn’t have no issues but could prevent problems if it’s on the Manual

[@EWHITEFLIX]

Wooo thank you bro

[@nestormacias9951]

No problem 👍🏼

[@marcelscott334]

Hey bro. I want to disconnect the negative and positive battery terminals are those located in the from underneath the hood or in the trunk??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks in advance

[@nestormacias9951]

Both terminals are located in your truck to disconnect from battery located on you driver side of trunk

[@mplscarsales6652]

What was the battery from Walmart you replaced it with please ?Cadillac calls for AGM battery not the Lead acid battery like the one you installed.

[@nestormacias9951]

The one that I got was for 2.5l it could be different for 2.0T and 3.6

[@nataliemendoza7997]

Whats that platic thing that you had on you old battery and transferred to your new battery called? For the hose insert?? I’m trying to order it because I don’t have it is it a most? Or can I have my battery without the plastic on the hose??

[@nestormacias9951]

It is called a battery vent elbow/ hose. You can buy them online or possibly find them at your auto part store. I’d recommend you get it just because your battery is inclosed in the back or your trunk.

[@nestormacias9951]

Hope this helps

[@jalcantar6048]

How do you open your trunk if your battery is out of the car the kids closed the truck and the jump won’t do it ?

[@nestormacias9951]

Oh wow. That’s a good one. Honestly what o did should work. But let me look into it just in case there is another way. This is just what worked for me

[@mvpjsj7557]

There should be a hidden key in your FOB and a key hole near the license plate light that should let you in. Have you tried to see if you can reach for the trunk release through the rear seat pass through?

[@earnestmackroy8247]

I have to change mine 2mrrw..these looks like a headache 🤣🤣

[@nestormacias9951]

Oh they are but you should be good brotha 👍🏼

[@jonnyeagle777]

Not a T-30 bit, or at least not on mine. Maybe a different type of bit?

[@nestormacias9951]

Might have been a T-40 sorry bud

[@squirlesg2228]

2013 ats 2.0t for sale lightly used needs a battery 😂 hmu

[@nestormacias9951]

Squirles G haha good placement for a sale 👌🏼lol

[@squirlesg2228]

Nestor Macias I’ve been told all publicity is good publicity 😂

[@nestormacias9951]

[@LS1007]

You need to zoom out some. Too many closeups you can’t tell where you’re working.

[@nestormacias9951]

Yea, sorry brotha best I can do at that moment.
