Cadillac SRX Dead Battery Replacement 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

My wifes 5 year old battery finally died in a supermarket parking lot. Replacement was simple. only took 10 minutes and cost about $130 at Oreilly auto. I'm going to take the old battery and try rejuvenate it using my desulfator.

thank you so much for this video. no BS about it, just straight to the point. no 15 minute rant about your life story and how you chose this car, and your uncle billy wasn't too happy with your decisions, blah blah blah, all the other youtubers rant about. Just straight up replacing the battery. very helpful

[@greywar1224]

I can tell this was for your lady. She was all "you're like a surgeon". I bet there was a chance of it raining that day. 😂 thanks for the video!

[@luisgonzales7600]

1000 thumbs up…you gave a great video on battery replacement…better than any videos out there…keep up the great work you do!

[@Eugene-me5op]

Fantastic Video , Cadillac is 5 times more Aggravation to do a simple job than Any other Car I have ever owned !

Thanks for the video-just replaced mine on a 2013 SRX. The battery was just a year old and it had been installed at the dealer. I found that the battery hold-down on the battery would allow the battery to move thus shorting out a cell. I didn’t use the wedge with the hold-down and it held the battery without any movement. Also like another comment I used dielectric grease on the battery contacts to prevent corrosion. Your battery had the same hold-down flange as mine. Try moving it side to side to see if it is snug.

Maybe that's what happened with my battery because my entire dash, air, and radio just shut down while I was driving but I believed it warned me before it happened because as I hit a bump, it would go out then immediately come back on. This time it went out and didn't come back on.

Thank you for the video!! just gone done replacing my wife's battery on her SRX with ease because of your video

[@Bigtime07291985]

Thanks for the info. It helped me plenty changing out that battery with no confusion 😅😊

[@markschue383]

Thanks for the video. Replaced the battery and the car would not start but obviously had electrics again. Remote would work door locks and trunk hatch. I looked at some youtube videos on pairing keys. The trick that worked was hold the start button for 12 seconds, release and then start.

[@kevinblack7447]

The plate that lays on the battery with positive wire connections (not the battery cover) does not pull off easily. I found a flat head screwdriver placed in the slots of the plate makes it release easily. The slots are on the top of the plate along the battery edge. So the screwdriver goes in tge slots straight down pointed towards the floor. Thanks for sharing.

[@bryanlee5390]

do you need to reset or reprogram the srx after replacing with a new battery?

[@hmack1234]

Everything on this vehicle is a pain in the ass..

[@ronniefrawn552]

You never changed battery on Peugeot?)

[@boblordier7160]

I read if you didn't back up yourcomputer memory,a lot of settings are lost. A plug in to the lighter saves them. Any auto store carries the adapter. Worked fine.

[@thangknowa3288]

You should keep the negative battery cover ON until the last move. One little slip, and you will blow that 350 amp fuse, and it's not cheap. Clean and dielectric grease on all connections. If the system trips out for under voltage with the old battery, remove old battery and insure new battery is fully charged, above 12.6, to reset system. If you don't, you will hear a buzz, weak parking lights will be on, and no start attempts will be successful until you do. "When the Cadillac speaks, you should listen".

[@troyboulware3518]

When you say keep negative battery cover on. Do you mean remove positive terminal attachments first?

[@jameswaugh115]

Can i get to my turn signal bulb by removing the battery & case?

[@lenincortes3892]

Name of the last screw that reits porfa.

[@bahamagus]

Helped me a lot. Some verbal narrative could help more on releasing the tabs and clips.

[@chelcib3034]

Thanks for taking the time....definitely looks harder at first glance!!!

[@chriscoleman6035]

I was told there is a something that needs to be reset when changing the battery. Is that true?

[@fintechrepairshop]

This battery is still going strong, no warnings.

[@nitemoves]

Thanks! In and out in less than 10!

[@tweezyjohnson3012]

Where does the other end of the negative terminal ground connect to?

[@terryblacksr774]

How bout just a draw? The 250A and the 60A next to it towards the back of the battery are slowly draining my battery so where is the power going?

[@fintechrepairshop]

Unusually, the biggest drain on a battery is the security system. You might have a sensor issue preventing the system from to going asleep.

[@craigwyss6035]

Great video thanks....I was told not to wear any jewelry when changing out a battery as a wrench or ratchet could make a connection and burn your finger, any input on this? Thanks

[@Fireteam2479]

Rings are well worth the risk honestly. Any metal bracelet however not so much.

[@vergano]

THANKS!

[@davenelson8187]

A dab of dielectric silicone on the posts and terminals would be of benefit.

[@boblordier7160]

You didn't use a memory 9 volt keeper for all data.Not necessary ?

[@sosadagod6963]

Thanks buddy, just changed it out

[@theodoreko2700]

Would of been nice if there was voice telling what u doing

[@richardbunch8373]

Thank you!!!

I have a problem after replacing the battery car not working what I do

[@jamesbright369]

Thanks

[@joeymacaluso6922]

Cat got your tongue?

[@greywar1224]

I honestly respect that part. Most of the time you got videos with people telling you stories of this or that. Most of just want to know how to fix the part. 🤷‍♂️

[@russgreen4254]

NO AUDIO, 🤫🫢

[@MrSINNER72]

You should never work n car’s wearing rings!

[@yungjohnson76]

U taught absolutely nothing in this Visio🤦🏾‍♂️

[@fintechrepairshop]

well at least I wasted some of your time.

[@lauriesmith8722]

Don’t be rude!
