Finding your video saved a lot of frustration. When I looked at the long bolt it didn’t seem to be doing much so I ignored it. Thank you

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Glad it helped

I suspect the fasteners are 8mm because all modern cars utilize metric fasteners. I used a 8mm on my replacement because I didn't have 5/16". These two sizes are essential the same for socket use. Great video

One thing after installing the battery, and starting the vehicle, DON'T drive anywhere just yet. after 5 min run/charging time, shut vehicle off and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes. It will give the ECM of the Transmission time to reset, and link back up to the Engine ECM. Otherwise, the vehicle wont shift right when driving. You will get 1st gear and 2nd, but that's it. Let the vehicles computers time to reset 15 - 30 min, 30 min preferred. Everything should be good to roll after that, other than the clock and favorite radio stations you have to re do.

Thanks for the added tip. I didn't do this on my 2012 and it shifted fine.

@HomeOwnerRepair I need assistance I have a new battery that needs to be reinstalled but the hold down is holding me back for so long could you tell me what specific tools to take it out please?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

You should be able to remove it as shown in the video. What is holding you back, can you not get the screw out?

[@shakillohtrill323]

Don’t have the 5/16 extension. What can I do

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

You can buy one on Amazon or at your local auto parts store or Lowes.

[@mokster4268]

What size did you use to get the bolt out?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

This should be mentioned in the video.

[@mokster4268]

Do you know how to turn off anti theft if you can’t turn on the vehicle. My anti theft came on but I’m not able to turn it off due to vehicle not being able to start something is wrong with it. I hit a hard bump and it just shut up and won’t turn back on. Then the anti theft turned on next day and been unable to turn it off.

[@mokster4268]

Shut off**

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

I would start with the simple things first. You may want to remove the battery cables clean the battery cable ends with a wire brush along with the battery terminals. If they battery is 5 years old you may want to replace in incase it is throwing a spike. Was the truck running fine before this happened?

[@johnwick-deathvalley]

Yo my man, whats the best battery I should put in thanks🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Interstate makes an excellent battery

[@johnwick-deathvalley]

[@KiltedKiller533xbox1]

my bolt holding down the battery isnt budging...

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

You can try to spray it with some penetrating oil such as PB blaster.

[@Italianplum2]

Where is the battery light/symbol on 2015 Ford expedition

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

I am not sure of it's location on the instrument cluster.

[@Chris-lk3zu]

Do you have to turn off the Anti-Theft device first

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

No, you can follow the video and you should be fine

[@yyz20002008]

what's name of the extension sockets

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Not sure what you mean?

[@yyz20002008]

@@HomeOwnerRepair I mean ratchets & sockets you used to disassemble the battery, thx

[@DragonPilot]

My battery is just over 2 years old. I went on a three week trip and came back to find the battery dead, reading 9.6 volts on my voltmeter. Recharged it but it won't hold a charge. Dropping it down to below 12 volts damaged it. Dang! I was told not to disconnect a battery on 3rd gen Expys because it might damage sensitive electronic and you'd have to reset them all. I guess that was WRONG!

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Did you replace the battery

[@DragonPilot]

@@HomeOwnerRepair Not yet. I’m testing for phantom current draw thinking that might be my problem. If the current draw checks out ok, then battery replacement may be next.
