How to Replace a Battery 2010 to 2017 Chevrolet Equinox

[@JohnCRV]

This video will demonstrate How to Replace a Battery 2010 to 2017 Chevrolet Equinox

[@roryrowan3798]

Chevy engineers are imbeciles

[@simonkeane5053]

Great video. Are there any tricks or methods for removing the negative terminal when it is extremely corroded?

[@JohnCRV]

@@simonkeane5053 If the terminal is hard to take off you'll need to get a battery terminal puller. there's a link in the description of this video you can click on or pick it up at any auto parts store. Wear gloves and eye protection when doing this.... Let me know if you have any questions..

[@davewalker3561]

Best of the 4 videos I watched on this swap. Good job, wife is happy.

It's two years later and your video is still helping people!

[@JohnCRV]

Thank you. Glad its helping.

[@bobnewhart4318]

Certainly helping me

[@zachwalker6257]

Itll be 3 years and its gonna help me. Plus save me a ton of money from someone else doing it.

[@amandamccomas6242]

My local auto parts store wouldn’t change mine out as they advertised. The employee said ‘oh no. This is one of those complicated ones.’ And went back inside. 😂. I’m a 47 year old nurse. You made it seem easy. Thank you for the help.

[@JohnCRV]

Too funny 😂. Glad it helped.

[@sjeverett75]

My daughter just called and said she needed a battery. Im 4hrs away so I told her to go to Oreillys or Autozone. They wouldn't touch it. She went elsewhere to get it done, but if she hadn't found someone, I was going to send her this video. She's a nurse too, BTW.

[@404notfound.....]

Did you change out the battery yourself Amanda?

[@misfit765]

They aren't allowed to because if you short the ecu or fuse block on the top of the battery. It's expensive and a dealer only part and causes a lot of headache.

[@amygeehuggs]

LMAO 😂😂

[@Lianne331]

20 minutes from start to finish! Couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@JohnCRV]

Great job! Glad it helped!

[@kipchesmore8581]

Thanks so much. When I popped the hood on my daughter's equinox, it looked like a nightmare to replace the battery. Your video explaned everything so clearly. Chevy sure decided to make things difficult on this setup. You helped.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped

[@rodneysaunders683]

Great video

[@Dodachin]

I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial my local car shop gave me a hard time because I needed to tow my car in so I just decided to grab my grandfather and get to work and we got it ! Thank you so so much!

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped! Thank you for the feedback!

[@michaelfrick4369]

This video was awesome! I'm not fluent in DIY car repair but consider myself semi-conversant and this was perfect step by step. Watched the whole thing 1 time and then restarted as I was completing the install and paused after each step to complete the task and came back and pressed play. Didn't go too fast or skip any seemingly insignificant steps. I knew exactly what to expect with each step. A must follow.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped! Thank you very much for the feedback.

[@ronimbeau4868]

2024 and still the best! Thanks very professional!

[@JohnCRV]

Thank you for the nice feedback.

[@stephaniederstine3821]

Thank you so much for this video! I am a military wife and was overwhelmed with the thought of changing my battery without my husband's assistance (he is away). The directions were so clear, I was able to get it out by myself. Thank you again!!

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it was helpful.👍

[@daveschiffour9090]

I'm 52 years old and this is probably the best how-to video I've ever watched. The sound was good.... excellent videography. You didn't go too fast, you didn't go too slow. Thank you very very much! 2010 Chevy Equinox LTZ

[@JohnCRV]

Thank you very much Dave. It’s useful to hear this type of feedback and I wouldn’t mind criticism when it’s justified. That’s how we learn. thanks again.

[@Thrillustrate69]

I’m pretty insecure with car stuff but you made this so easy for me. Thank you!

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped! Thank you for the comment.

[@Easthound]

Perfect video, thank you so much. Had to deal with this on my wife’s 2010 Equinox in below zero temps-your video really nailed the step by step to take the guess work out. I unfortunately broke the three plastic rivets trying to remove with a flat head screwdriver but those can be easily replaced. One thing I encountered was a very corroded terminal to the negative post. Nothing I tried would release the terminal, including WD-40. I ended up buying a Battery Terminal Puller tool that solved my problem in about 10 seconds. Thought I’d share in case that saves anyone further headaches when you get to that step. Lastly, shame on the Chevy engineers for creating such a difficult design to access what should be a simple fix. Totally ridiculous.

[@JohnCRV]

I agree with you on all points made!. Those rivets can be easily replaces and the puller is always handy. it usually happens when they overtight the terminal clamp and the the battery swells up on top. Goo you got it going. 👍 and thanks for the feedback.

[@nsxt290]

I agree, shame on them for the unnecessary steps for something important & " easy to do"

[@goldenprospects]

You are a blessing! Thank you so much! I went to autozone in Houston and the guy who was to test my battery didn't even know where the battery was.. I thought I was in real trouble! Lol thanks for your expertise

[@JohnCRV]

You are very welcome, glad it helped.

[@zoomoutdoors]

After watching this video I was able to change out a battery in a 2016 Equinox with no problems. I am fairly handy but when I first saw all the crap Chevy has attached to the top of the battery I almost told my daughter to take it to a shop. Excellent video.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped and thanks for the feedback.

[@D.Farinas]

Sir... you are my hero. Thanks for teaching us.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad I could help

[@tristinkirby]

thank you so much I have a 2017 and I just had O'Reilly's Auto Parts change mine out and we had to use this video as a guide since it was complicated

[@JohnCRV]

Thank you very much for the feedback. Glad it helped!

[@Matt-uf6df]

Thank you for this video. Our Equinox wouldn't start with the low temperatures and this was super helpful to locate the battery.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped

[@ikeenator]

Other than my negative terminal being corroded in place and taking some extra force, everything went smoothly thanks entirely to this video. Thank you very much.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback.

Omg thank you!!! I was panicking that I had no one to ask for help and figured f’it I’ll just KZbin and see if I can do this myself, your detailed explanation including tool size etc was just amazing and now my car works and you are my new favorite person!!!

[@JohnCRV]

Thank you for the feedback. Glad it helped.

[@photocontrol]

They sure hid the battery on that model! Great how-to John on the steps to access the battery! Have a great week! 👍

[@JohnCRV]

Yes they do 😅 Thanks for the visit and comment. 👍

[@brunochef2]

Thanks I got a call from my mechanic that it needed to be replaced. I didn't even know it had a battery!

[@donnad5064]

Thank you for this video! It’s crazy you have to do all this just for a battery. Your video made it easy to get it done. Thank you

[@JohnCRV]

You’re very welcome! I appreciate the feedback! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@prototypedenNIS]

Just bought one of these and forgot to look this up earlier. Was relieved is fairly straightforward. Just it's replacing an Uplander which was a bit more complicated and we also have a Dodge Journey which a sadist designed the battery access on. Thank you. Great video.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped! Thank you for the feedback.

Would have eventually figured this out, but this video made things a lot faster. Thanks!

There are other video guides for this process. This is the best one. Now…regarding the engineers at GM who designed this; all I can say is that we know why you made it difficult for the average car owner. And, secondly, I hope you are happy.
