Great video and explanation of removal and replacement, however Ford/Lincoln designers and engineers need to be more hands on. This location for a frequent need to replace item is not well thought out. Same goes for replacement of headlight lenses.
This video was supper helpful! Would not have been able to change my battery without it!
Anothe tip to add. I pulled the battery forward and then removed the negative cable. Provided more room for the socket. Installed the negative cable before sliding it all the way back. I prefer my old 69 chevy for this job.
How do you remove the cable the clicks on the left side of the battery so you don't break it like he said happened in this video
What kind of moron thought that this was a good design. It's like whoever designed this did it in cad and then never touched the actual vehicle.
NEVER Have any metal jewelry (metal watches, rings on fingers etc) on your arms hands or fingers, The chance is rare that yu would make contact enough to get burned but you will only do it once!
Then pull it down enough to be able to lift the battery out at an angle. It is fairly heavy and the carrying handles do get in the way. Another suggestion, remove the battery clamps as one assembly. No need to remove the cables from the clamps.
I changed the battery in my 2017 MKC last weekend. I can offer some suggestions to make this job easier the next time. You do have to remove the top of the air box and the filter for battery removal. However, I didn’t have to remove the bottom of the air box. Just lift up and unclip the front of the battery box.
