Posts: 875 Thanks: 21 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Disconnecting Battery Can I disconnect my Grande's battery for 5 mins or so without having to reset anything or enter any codes. Just want to clean all the foul spray grease off the battery, clean up the terminals properly with a post cleaner/wire toothbrush and put some petroleum jelly over the clamp/terminal.

I will be making a Guide up in the next week or so (on 3 day weeks from next week so i will have time to do it) showing the other places that could do well to have a clean up and a smear of suitable grease ![]() you shouldn't need any codes as such as the radio is paired with the body computer (saying that you should have the radio passport anyway) |

![]() | Re: Disconnecting Battery Good stuff. Where can I find the earth clamp is it on the wing near the battery? How's this sound? https://www.fiatforum.com/car-care/1...-terminal.html Looking forward to the guide sounds good ![]() the earth clamp is on the battery (the quick release lever) can't see a problem with that although i tend to use real Coppaslip as that wont wash of and its conductive.. I'll try to upload the correct pictures for you T are you after the one with the greasy nipple again? |

Posts: 19 Thanks: 1 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Disconnecting Battery is this a time dependent thing? I have a fiat 500 (08) and need to remove the dash trim for repair, but will the car tolerate negative terminal disconnection for say 24 hours, with only a clock reset necessary. thanks for help

![]() | Re: Disconnecting Battery only the clock will need a reset as far as i know (check with the 500 mob about the radio but i assume its the same as the GP with the paring with the body computer) over half an hour or so it will also reset the ECU so might run a bit strange for 10-20 miles whilst it relearns its settings but after that it will be fine ![]() |
