Best and simplest instructional video I've EVER watched.

[@dave5334]

Thank you for the video. What a bunch of garbage work to do just to remove the battery. Used to just be right there on the corner just had to unscrew it. Appreciate this

[@jimleahy9816]

You forgot to mention a vertical important point at the end of the video. When removing the battery terminals, ALWAYS remove the Negative terminal first to avoid a short circuit and possible injury.

[@TheSteamHat]

How do you loosen the Negative terminal?

[@danalvarez7027]

Thank you for posting this. I followed this exactly today on my 2016 and it was very helpful!

[@lrblouie]

Couldn't be easier!!! Thank you so much for such a great video!

[@jessicaberry4626]

Thank you for this video! It made the process very easy.

[@successfult]

Great job step by step instructions

[@jaynerice6693]

Thanks for the video! Helpful for sure! But had to find another one to help me figure out how to remove a stuck. connector.

[@sniffulsquack5608]

Great video sir. Got the job done as fast as the vid, good work.

[@carolynneelizabeth6459]

Thank you so much We got it out and now we're going to buy a new one.

[@tssci6774]

Good video, short and detailed. Only thing was use of dialectric grease should not be put on the battery terminal contact surfaces. Once it is installed and terminal is tightened down, then apply the grease or other battery protectant to external surfaces. I use Fluid Film to prevent corrosion. This procedure is for 2010-2017 Terrain and Equinox.

[@leerleerdrinkabeer]

Very very helpful!! Great video and clearly explained.

[@cwanat69]

Thanks for illustrating a very unnecessarily complicated procedure.

[@carlosMartinez-tm8sq]

Thank you. You make my job more easy

[@atlhawks4113]

Thank you very much for this, very helpful!

[@TonyGarcia-vi8qs]

Thanks for the video. First time changing one this vehicle.

[@agile654321]

Just changed my 2016 Terrain battery, thanks for the video pretty simple had no issues

[@teresamiller2996]

How on earth do you get the 10mm nut off the back of the ECM??? I'm ready to cut the screw shorter, just so I can get at it! 😥 Had to go to the store for a long 10mm socket. Then I had a heck of a time getting that last terminal off. I put baking soda & distilled water on it, but ultimately ended up using a huge pipe wrench to get it off. Then, the battery had no strap to help pull it out. Thank God my son came home and he got it out. WHEW!

[@MarcP5267]

Thanks for this video. I’m wanting to clean my battery terminals not replace the battery. I only have mm wrench set but no screw gun. Will I be able to this with a wrench set? Also I’m assuming everything will get reset like the clock and radio programming?

[@MaryReiter-b3h]

Thank you, this was a big help

[@AxelTribal]

I cant seem to get one of the terminals off, I've loosened all the bolts, the one thats giving me trouble the negative terminal, the housing where the 10 mm bolt is is kinda wobbly seems like its made of several moving parts, and the bolt doesn't come all the way off. spent a solid hour trying to pull, shimmy, and twist that terminal to come off and couldn't get it any tips would be appreciated! i have a 2016 GMC Terrain

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Did you get it figured out? I thought the terminal removal was self explanatory

[@inkmonster0u812]

Great vid. Very very well done. Thanks sir.

[@MikeLebbin]

Good video.. easy explanation.

[@danieloliva538]

I'm so nervous about radio getting locked how am I sure there's a way w/out locking it

[@jerrythecoo3295]

I bought a new battery and installed it and it goes barooom again…………… #Diditmyway #Yourwelcome #Forthoseabouttorockisaluteyou #😎👍🤘🇨🇦

[@PopPopProud]

Good video....Very much appreciated. I have a 2014 3.6 Terrain, bought new, just 36k miles on it now...lol. The oem battery lasted 4 years. I'll probably be replacing the one in it now again in the spring. Used to get 5 - 7 years out of my batteries before all this electronic crap was incorporated on the newer vehicles.

[@tssci6774]

These newer vehicles with higher parasitic draw require supplemental battery charging to bring the battery up to 100% charge. I typically do this twice a year, fall and winter, when discharged batteries suffer the most.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Is that necessary if you are driving the vehicle regularly? (I've never charged a car battery that I drive fequently) I could understand if the vehicle sits for extended periods of time, but with frequent driving, the alternator should keep the battery topped off.

[@ryanfitzgerald8733]

Many thanks!

[@kurtschoenrock3191]

Fantastic!

[@luisaguilera4706]

Thank you for that easy video. 👍👍

[@dwainmorgan8550]

What happens when you put the module back on the battery, don’t it mess up the information on the dashboard where you have to reset everything?

[@OldSoulMillennial]

@@dwainmorgan8550 Just plugs in. No issue

[@Professional_Human]

Mine didn't. It won't turn on

[@maryf.3478]

We got the battery changed but needed a more thorough tutorial on how to use the tools. 😅

[@tonyjohnson8929]

Did that battery have 650 CCA ?

Thanks sounds easy enough.

H5 battery? What size engine? Mines 2016 V6 says H6

[@jamartinez1999]

Thank you!

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Anytime J

[@joshhein3595]

great instructions

[@AT-ul1vt]

Where so you connect power to keep ECM data?

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I don’t understand your question

[@tssci6774]

Audrey Taylor you can buy 12v cigarette adapter, and small battery and rear connect in the cargi area. They also have DTC adapter as well. Not a big deal, only date and time needs reset in most cases on dash.

[@joseenriquesalasroman1313]

Do I need save data or not from the ecm just change it like that

[@KatieYavuzRev]

Did he forget perhaps 🤔...maybe he's embarrassed 😳 We forgive you. Thank you for sharing step by step 😃

[@OldSoulMillennial]

No, there is nothing you need to do. Disconnecting the battery may cause you to loose your set radio stations. The car may have to "re-learn" your driving style, but this will not cause damage to anything. This is completely normal and necessary to change the battery.

[@elbatlelromany8127]

thank you

[@johnbranham4888]

Thanks

[@OldSoulMillennial]

No problem

[@jZXDvcjb]

This is NOT the same for a 2018 gmc terrain. I have one..

[@benjaminjoeckel123]

You mean you don't have to connect a battery or something before you disconnect?

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Correct, do not connect a second battery. Just remove the battery as instructed.

[@angelazimmerman882]

Thanks! ✔️ done😊 See girls, all you need is KZbin lol.

[@DonShetland]

This is not a 2018. My engine compartment is very different.

[@Nickgerace67]

The only reason I watched was to see how to remove the negative cable. It’s weird. But that’s the one thing you didn’t do or explain.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I though it was self explanatory. There should be a 10 or 8mm fastener on the terminal. It's off to the right slightly. I think its like a wedge type fastener.

[@pedropablogarcia6168]

I changed my now my mileage changed by50000 miles and when I'm driving going 20 mph gage showing 50 miles pph

[@jimmy1life]

I wanted to just simply throw the battery maintainer on it over night great cant even see it

[@coreyrowe2052]

You need to show the steps in real time in my opinion. I know it takes a while but you can speed up the video in these instances.👍👍

[@OldSoulMillennial]

People are generally VERY impatient with videos I make. They want to learn how to do something as quick as possible. Lately I've been trying to keep videos as short as possible. Perhaps if this was a more complex disassembly, I would have found it necessary to record the process in depth. I felt that this repair was fairly simple and strait forward, so I decided to keep this video short and direct. Regardless, I hope the video was helpful. Happy Holidays!

[@coreyrowe2052]

[@jamesmitchell2804]

The Gmc Terrain gives you a tire pressure warning yet when the battery is weak you get nothing but a dead vehicle no warning light.

This is for 2017 and older not the 2018

[@chrisloomis469]

Why the hell we had to go from a very simple design where the battery was its own thing and the ECM was on its own platform to now all of a sudden the battery and the ECM have to share an apartment is absolutely ridiculous You should never have to fuck with the ECM! Just begging for more issues.

[@rocksandoil2241]

Oh damn - a tutorial for opening the hood..duh

All this nonsense to get to a battery. Horrible design by GM. Another reason to buy a Ford.
