BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The battery is on the passenger side of the trunk under the black plastic cover. Disconnect negative first then the positive. Unscrew the retention clamp and lift it out. It will have a drain tube so be sure to reconnect that when you put the new one in. If you do have an acid spill here is a solution to use to clean it up: 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water makes a neutralizing paste. Other things to know: There is a color dot on the battery that tells you if it is bad or not and the light under your rear view mirror will flash a code to tell you if the battery is bad as well.
