Replacing car battery?
This will sound like a really dumb question but please bear with me.
I am going to change my car battery, however, I bought the battery new from the store and it has a plasticcovering which I can't get off as well as a plastic handle over it. How the heck do I take these off so I can replace the car battery?
Also...I have a 2002 Chrysler Sebring, meaning I can't access the battery from the hood. I have to take off my left front wheel and am I supposed to just rip the fasteners out? They are in there pretty tight.
Any help would be a million times appreciated, thanks a lot.Replacing car battery?If the plastic cover is just a shrink wrap, use a knife or razor blade to carefully cut it open. If the handle is in the way you can cut that off also.
The wheel well cover is held on with plastic fasteners that you can carefully pry out. They make a tool for them, but you can also use two small screwdrivers to pull them off. Save the fasteners, because you will need to push them back on when you reinstall the cover.
Make sure that you have the car securely supported (not on the jack alone) before you start to work under the car.
The poster who says that you can access the battery from under the hood is obviously not aware of the location of the battery on that model vehicle.Replacing car battery?First off you shouldn't have to replace your battery through your wheel well.

The plastic covers should pull right off, or have a zip strip to open them up. If not, cut them off with a razor knife. Be sure to clean your cables before you mount them on the battery. They sell post and terminal cleaners at any auto parts store. Clean your cables with baking soda and water mixes like a paste.

How do i close the hood of my car after changing a battery?
To open it, i figured out that i had to pull a little lever inside, and then pull a lever on the hood itself while i was opening it.
I tried to just close it but its stuck in that position like it was when i had only pulled the lever on the inside, its loose but its locked at the same time.
anyone know? 07 honda cr-v if that helps. thanks!How do i close the hood of my car after changing a battery?Open it up again, and then slam the hood down.
The reason your hood is in that limbo state is because you did not shut it hard enough.How do i close the hood of my car after changing a battery?reopen the hood then go back inside the car and manually push the release lever to assure it is in the closed position then try to close the hood. Let it drop a bit like from 12 inches or so. this should do it.How do i close the hood of my car after changing a battery?HI
First open it back up and make sure nothing is in the way of it closing.. If there is nothing in the way then go inside the car and make sure the lever in side is all the way back in sometimes they get stuck in the open position.
good luck
timHow do i close the hood of my car after changing a battery?just push down firmly on the front and it should latch on the primary latch. be sure to check on the inside release to see that it hs pushed back to its normal postion (un-released) as it may prevent the hood from latching if the release is stuck in the open position.medium length hair getting yourex girlfriendback

I have a 1992 Pontiac Firebird and changed the battery. Car wants to keep stalling when coming to a stop.?
Someone told me there is a way to reset the computer memory myself but wasn't sure how to. Something about putting it in neutral and pressing the brake, then restart it and put it in drive with foot on the brake. I don't quite understand does anyone know of this procedure so I can try it and not have to take it somewhere and pay to have it done. I have a 1992 Pontiac Firebird and changed the battery. Car wants to keep stalling when coming to a stop.?Listen to thinkerI have a 1992 Pontiac Firebird and changed the battery. Car wants to keep stalling when coming to a stop.?its more then likely your transmission. i have had the same problem with 3 cars over the years. take it to a mechanic and explain what is happening and if hes any good he will solve your problem in 5 secondsI have a 1992 Pontiac Firebird and changed the battery.

dont sound like computer problem,but u can take it to a autozone or such n have them put it on the computer n tell u how to solve ur problem
I have a 1992 Pontiac Firebird and changed the battery. Car wants to keep stalling when coming to a stop.?Back then the most common way to reset the ECM was to disconnect the battery so I don檛 think that is your problem. Plus I never heard of such a method. If the car is stalling when it檚 about to stop it could be the fuel filter. Being that you have a 92 you can mark that down as a good possibility. But there is also a couple other things it could be but without knowing much about your car and the maintenance that it had received it would be hard to pin point itI have a 1992 Pontiac Firebird and changed the battery.

After changing my car battery my CD player in my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix
Could have simply blown the fuse inside the radio I had the same problem a couple of year ago and run my self ragged trying to figure it out the whole time it was just a damn fuse.After changing my car battery my CD player in my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fixwell if its straight wired to the battery you might wanta make sure that wire got hooked back up... if not.. check the wire to your radio that has the inline fuse.. may have gotten a power surge when chaning it out and blew that fuse... if that is not the problem, check your actual fuse box... other than that i havnt a clueAfter changing my car battery my CD player in my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fixIt may be the security device on your radio. Does it ask you for a code? Look at the radio manual for a card that has the code for your radio.
Just be careful if you punch in the wrong code more than 3 or so times you will be locked out of the radio and have to go to the agent to have it unlocked.After changing my car battery my CD player in my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fixprobably the fuse for the radio is not good anymore u just need to replace it. the fuse box should be somewhere in the interior of the car under the dash or on the sides. the box will have all the fuses and it should say what the fuses are for. look for the one that is for the radio. check it and if u see something unusual just replace it.After changing my car battery my CD player in my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fixIf the fuse is OK and the radio is not coded, try to disconnect the battery again (turn off the radio before) and wait for a few minutes then reconnect. May be it just needs to be reset.After changing my car battery my CD player in my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fixafter changing the battery, usually you need to reset the radio system with the radio code which you can found from the owner's manual or at the back of the radio. reset the system with the code then your CD player should be fine.
