    What a mess! I tried to clean the wires, but they were so corroded I
    just bought new ones. The positive terminal only had 1/4 of the nut
    left. I bought battery cleaner today and hosed it down really well,
    I found a local company that sells Interstate batteries for a
    reasonable price, after talking with the dealer. He's a great guy
    who not only sells but also works on equipment. Their is no good way
    to get to the ground wire, to shine up the connection. Question
    would be, what's the best way to establish a new path for a ground
    for the battery?<br>
    <br>
    Thanks in advance.<br>

        <div>I wouldn't think that there would likely be any problem

                                              Check really close in
                                              service information before
                                              you replace an old

                                              adjusted itself as the old
                                              battery wore out, you need
                                              to tell it that you are
                                              installing the new battery

                                              installation as long as
                                              you have one that is

                                              quite a few that are not
                                              due to the battery
                                              locations. OH and for the
                                              import owners, be sure
                                              which battery you actually
                                              need as many of the high
                                              dollar brands use 2 or
                                              three different batteries
                                              scattered around the
                                              vehicle. Mercedes for
                                              instance has one in the
                                              trunk, one under the hood
                                              and one tucked in behind
                                              the dash! <br>
                                              <br>
                                              For those of you who still
                                              want to DIY it, here is
                                              another tip. On cars that
                                              have lots of options or
                                              anything 2017 and up, the
                                              security systems can be a
                                              royal pain if you remove
                                              the battery, they can lock
                                              you out of everything so
                                              you end up towing it to a
                                              dealer to have it flashed
                                              back. The way around this
                                              is simple. Find the feed
                                              and ground lugs for the
                                              fuse box or if it has them
                                              the jumper terminals
                                              mounted out in the open.
                                              Now grab a power supply or
                                              a fully charged battery
                                              and connect it up to
                                              those, in the case of
                                              using a spare battery,
                                              connect it, start the
                                              engine and let it run for
                                              20 minutes or so, that
                                              will equalize the charge
                                              in the add-on battery,
                                              verify that the charging
                                              circuit is working as
                                              well, simply by measuring
                                              the voltage with the
                                              engine off, then again
                                              with it running. With a
                                              power supply (NOT A COMMON
                                              CHARGER) you just dial it
                                              up to the voltage the
                                              service info says or at
                                              least 13 volts. Now you
                                              can disconnect the main
                                              battery without losing any
                                              settings or programming
                                              because the ECU never sees
                                              it disconnected. Just
                                              remember that the Positive
                                              terminal will still be hot
