Made it look so easy
What “memory saver device” should I use to store the info the “numerous systems fitted to the vehicle” require power for?
Good advice bit found it easier to remove seat. Only 4 hex screws holding it in. Saved straining to get battery in and out. Advise you do this if you have a bad back 👍
Good tip, thanks
Hi, How many Batteries in Ford transit custom 2018?
There are two batteries under the seat in my 2015 Tourneo. Which one is for starting engine? The one towards the front of the car or the one towards the back?
great video very helpful
Glad you think so!
Flat battery on mine the other day, took 10 minutes with a car revving for it to start. Power pack wouldn't touch it. It seemed to go from fine totally dead in 8 hours. Nothing left on.
To save the hassle of re programming the radio & also upsetting the engine management system, would it be an idea to put a temporary battery across the Jump start lugs under the bonnet?
Yes, or you could use a memory saver that plugs into a power outlet socket.
@@HaynesManuals excellent. Thanks. 👍
My radio worked fine didn’t have to reprogram
I remove the seat (4 torx) for even easier access.
no
Car acting funny after changing battery idle jumping up and down. Then dies with batteries light on
Do you have any idea how to remove battery in Transit Connect 2017?
Hi. I have a ford transit 2014, 2.2 lts. Diesel. I tried to remove the battety today to see the model and but it, but I saw 2 batteries. My question is:
Do I need to change only one and the another is part of the vehicle ?
Thanks 👍👍👍
Unless they're in parallel only one, best to test with a multimeter which battery gets more voltage when cat is running. Should go from 12.6ish volts to 13.8 when running. If they're setup in parralel then probably both.
How many batteries shoude we have in Ford transit custom 2018? I have only one in mine and I have problem with Auto start
My battery readying 11.9 is it scrap
That's a bit too low, so yes, it probably is scrap
Now try do the same to the front battery... As I can see it is impossible to change battery nr 2 on my 2012 Ford Transit diesel without removing the driver seat completely. Also all the instructions I find how to get to the battery is wrong.
Bear in mind this is for 2013 to 2017 models. It's probably easier to completely remove the drivers seat to get to the front battery - 4 bolts?
@@HaynesManuals Are you suggesting there are two batteries in the 2013-2017 transit connect?
So the battery is under the driver’s seat?
Yes, raise, slide and lean the seat forward and you'll find the battery compartment behind the drivers seat.
Haynes Manuals ok, thanks very much
@@HaynesManuals How about in LHD cars?
Yeah isn't it crazy. Or battery was flat this morning in our Tourneo. Gone are the days of been able to jump start cars these days. Now it's sat on the drive, unable to take kids to school. Imagine how much two new batteries are for this and the cost of having a mobile machanic out to come and replace them. Happy days eh.
@@danhamjam Same here. There's a jump lead connector in the engine bay. It's worth taking a look for future reference. the positive is on the right, a small box with a '+' on it, the negative connects to the bolt on the chassis near the positive. I hope that helps.

You don’t need a memory saving device if you leave the engine running whilst switching the battery .
Are you serious? 💀
Explains nothing 😂
It explains how to get the battery out very clearly. Many people struggle with where the battery is on these let alone how to get it out.
