Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I do find it helpful to lower the windows first before disconnecting the battery.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry this seems a stupid question.. If removing the battery the 101 Projects book just states to disconnect and remove. But I am sure I read on here that it needs the key in the Ign switch - something to do with the alarm.. Can anyone enlighten me to the correct battery out and back in process PS - 1998 C2 Cab Thanks O-Sr

POST 2Original post

Simple - disconnect and remove. No need for key in the ignition. However, depending on the car's radio you may need to re-enter the radio code. I've done this several times. I do find it helpful to lower the windows first before disconnecting the battery. That gives you access to the interior just in case something goes wrong.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So the book is correct Thanks

POST 4Original post

Make sure you move the battery box hold down so can install the largest battery possible.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The sticky s above suggest that disconnection of the battery will clear any codes and forces engine to recalibrate air/gas mixture Is this a good thing or a bad thing? OS_R

Just make sure you have the radio security code and you are good to go. A/f will be relearned and codes will be re-tripped (if there was any) afterwards. No worries.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
