Thanks for this video. For anyone watching, BEFORE YOU TAKE THE BATTERY TERMINALS OFF, move the seat all of the way to the front AND all of the way up. The battery will slide right out without you having to twist it to the side.😊

Great video. I will add once the power is reconnected it will likely trigger the SGM (security gateway monitor) in the vehicle thus losing many functions like backup camera, temperature controls, passenger heated seats, and Uconnect will lose half the features. I’m called Uconnect, they were clueless. The solution is patience. Everything came back within a few hours good as it was. Might take longer for yours, but from what I’ve researched it’s extremely common.

Find that big red cap on your positive there is a little plug that will break off and it goes on the opposite side of the battery from your vent tube there are two holes in the battery you're only going to use one for the vent tube the other one you need to plug it and that plug is on that big red cap on the corner
@gregschroeder112811 күн бұрын
Great video, unless you have a 2018 Grand Cherokee, because it is not this straightforward. You have to remove the auxiliary battery first, to even get to the bracket, and there are two places to remove the breather tube, as opposed to one. You have to remove the bracket, before you remove the positive cable, as the battery is so far forward, you cannot get to the nuts on the terminal cable, as they are under the lip of the battery compartment. The good thing about this, is once you get the bracket out, you can slide the battery back to expose the positive terminal, and then move the seat all the way back, and remove the positive cable for the front. Hope this helps if you have a 2018 Grand Cherokee.

If you wanna make it easier the youcan get to the positive cable VERY easy by sliding the sea back and coming in from the front seat, it puts you directly over the top of the post with no obstructions. Then slide the seat forward again and get the battery out from the rear.
