Thank you!!! You're a lifesaver. My son in law tried to get the guy at the auto parts store to change his aux battery yesterday, but only ended up worse off than when he started. You had the secrets!!! First the store guy stopped when he didn't have a T5 socket, so you told us we needed one before we got into it! Then when the guy put the battery leads back on, he put the lower positive lead on the neg side with the neg lead. Jeep really should've made that a red wire. Anyway my son in-law is all better again... Thank you!!!

My Compass wouldn’t start yesterday and when I checked the fusesI had to unhook the battery because an error message about the “vehicle is in Park“ would not go off. (It was in Park) It puzzled me because I was not aware my vehicle had two batteries. The door chime would not stop dinging, Set the neighbors dogs off and of course it was 10:30 pm.

Another reason to be glad I drive a 98 (4.0L) Wrangler and a 96 (2.3L) Ranger! 1 battery, no extra electronic GARBAGE. It's all packaged as a "we're doing this to make things more efficient and help you" scenario, but in reality it's just a bunch of expensive modules, sensors, fuses, connections that can and WILL fail probably sooner than later and how many (needless IMO) start cycles is a starter designed to last? I can tell you that driving and having a starter repeatedly cycling is cutting deeply into the starter's life (if it were without the auto-start feature). Not to mention (I have driven a Cherokee with this exact feature) it is down right annoying! Great vid!

But then again i guess thats more moola for the stealerships. Kudos to Dave!

I worked with batteries for years. In my field it was unacceptable to not boot the terminals once removed. Clear heat shrink tubing or old hose that is big enough to fit over the terminal works great. Fold one end over and tape shut wrapping with electrical tape. Then you tape the boot over the battery terminal tape to wire. You will never have to waste time worrying about cable returning to circuit.

I work at a Walmart nearby, specifically as a TA Associate and today we had a Jeep Grand Cherokee which we had to replace the main battery of, it was an AGM battery (H5 Group Size I think). Our techs hooked up a memory saver and replaced that battery. But, when they tried to put the vehicle in gear it didn't want to work. So, that meant we had to call a tow truck to haul the jeep to the dealership so they could reset the jeep. We reimbursed the customer, but gosh dang it. Just remember to be careful when replacing the batteries on these things. You might lock up your transmission. And the price that we had to pay the dealer was like $222.58! That's by no means cheap in my book.
