That battery is a pain to lift. You may want to get you a battery carrier or strap to get that battery out. Check them out here on Amazon: amzn.to/3hAVmqE
This was outstanding. Followed your instructions. I added a 1/8” nylon chord (3’ in length) to put under the battery which made extraction easy. I went to AutoZone for a replacement (which had a nice handle). The entire process was 45 minutes (including reset of date/time on dashboard). We’re all set with good power in my Enclave. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks. Like the string trick.
Good video, if anyone wants the info, the hold down bolt is 13mm. Also, I'd suggest disconnecting that gray ground connector shown at 2:50. Makes holding the cables out of the way easier. Again, thanks much!!
Thanks for the tips!
I worked a thin dog leash under the battery to lift it out. Thanks for the great video.
That is a nice idea. Thanks for the tip on that.
Very helpful in showing where the battery is and explaining the steps as the video went along. Thank you!
Glad it helped.
Hey, great video. Was at a loss for replacing this. Great instructions! I guess they really want to hammer home the dealership involvement by not even telling you where the battery is in the manual and removing the handle from it...
Glad it helped
Battery just went out and didn’t have the money to have someone come over or take it to the dealer, thank you!
Glad it helped. Take care.
Fantastic video, short, sweet, concise,to the point. Best video I've seen in awhile. We're re back on the road. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Would this be the same for a 2012 enclave?
@@serenamckinney9148 I believe all of the enclaves had the battery in the same location, so I think yes.
@@SeidelRanch Thank you for posting a very helpful video. Look forward to more for this model. 🙂 Have a Blessed day ❣️
When disconcerting a battery you should disconnect the negative first. And when congesting the battery the positive first. Because if you ground the wrench on the positive with the ground connected you will get a dead short.
Great tip to know. Thanks.
2014 Enclave, somehow the factory battery lasted 8 years, then died this morning from the cold weather. Thank you for a very well made video that saved me whatever the shop would have charged.
My 9/16 driver would not catch on the clamp down in the hole, a 1/2 inch worked for me.
What idiot at GM decided the factory battery didn’t need a handle. I almost sliced my fingers off under the left side when it got stuck on the red cables as I was lifting and slipped back down on my hand! After I ran out of curse words to say I tried again, this time with my wife pulling the red cables out of the way and I had a blue “exam” glove on my left hand which actually helped with the grip.
Took me about 2.5 hours including the trip to the store to get the new battery, and I am definitely not a mechanic.
The battery probably last as long as they do because they are in the cab, so that part is fine with me. The absence of the handle was my issue too. Come one, that thing needs a handle. Glad you were able to get it switched out.
Great video...for everybody's info you can get a tool called a Battery Carrier Strap for around $15 to be able to lift out the old one & lower the new in place.
That's a great tip. I will check that out. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this video! I just purchase an '08 and I am really strapped for cash right now so I was dreading the dealer. Thanks again!
Glad I could help! Good luck.
Very helpful video, thank you! Note: slide the front passenger seat/back all the way forward before disconnecting the battery.
Good tip! Thanks for watching!
How if the battery is dead
@@SeidelRanch Mine was not totally dead. If it was, I'd use a booster/secondary battery to temporarily provide power.
That was the hardest part. I had to reconnect the old battery and jimp it. Fortunately it had enough juice so that I could move the seat forward.
Tilt battery sideways a little to loop heavy duty tywraps to make a handle to lift the battery out. Comes out easy no struggle.
Great tip! That was the part I hated the most.
I’m just a 19 year old girl lol thank you so much!!!!
You are so welcome. Glad it was helpful!
Thx. For the video info. I did not know where it is located in the car. It is not in the hood, like other cars
Yeah, now days you never know where they are.
Hi Slidel,
I was curious about the hose on battery.. Thank you for enlightening me with the "Overflow Hose".
Glad to help.
Oooooh, i didnt even know about that elbow drain to connect to the battery. I have the hose, but there's no elbow so i just left it hanging thinking it was for a drain. Does it need to be connected to battery or just leave it hanging would take out fumes?
If the battery you bought is a real replacement battery for the Enclave, it should have a drain on it for overflow and spillage. This needs to be hooked up or it will drip into the battery compartment and allow fumes into the vehicle. That drain hose needs to connect to the battery.
Yes sir. Best info ever.👍👍 Produced like a pro. Thanks.
Much appreciated! Thanks for the kind words.
MY SUGGESTION TO ANYONE IS PUT ANTI-SEIZE ON THE TERMINALS AS IT WILL PREVENT FUTURE ACID CORROSION WITHOUT IMPEDING CONTINUITY ! 😊
Did you ever make a video of you also starting it after? How did it go? If it worked perfectly; is the car still starting up fine after all this time? I'm just really curious because I recently ran into battery problems and can't afford to take it to a dealer right now.
It did fine. I did not have any issues starting it or anything. You have to set the clock again, but that is about all I did. No issues since replacing it.
@@SeidelRanch Okay nice to know, thank you so much.
You can get the battery out easier if you wrap the post with something to protect post and attach vice grips to each post and pull it right out
Awesome tip. Thanks for sharing!
Wish I had read the comments before attempting, but I don’t own any vice grips …yet.
I need to buy a new battery. I might try to do it myself, now.
I still have the battery that came with my 2014 Buick Enclave.
You can do it. I believe in you. Just be careful.
Thank you very much for showing this. I swear most engineers are so smart they are stupid! Why some overeducated ding a ling decided to put it there is beyond me. 🙄 And like you I’m not taking it to the dealer either to have them do something and charge me a premium whereas I can do it myself for free.
Well said. Glad it helped.
Thank you so much for sharing. It helped me be able to change my battery.
Glad it helped. Thanks.
thanks for the information very professional
Glad it was helpful!
Please place the vent tube back on, the Autozone rep told me he owned a 2011 and didn’t do it, the next time he drove he almost passed out.
Yes, you need the vent tube hooked up since the battery is inside the vehicle. Batteries put off gasses when they are charged and that would enter the vehicle if not vented to the outside.
Hi, do you know what is that green connector that is taped to the red (positive) terminal wiring? The wire on the back got corroded and just broke off. I wanted to put it back in, but i cant find a resource or video about it or how to do that. I dont see a latch that will catch a wire so i dont know how to securely connect it. Do you know what the green connector wiring for though?
I don't know what that wire or connector is for, but if it broke off I would expect it's needed and needs to be repaired. If you know how to properly splice it in, I would probably do that. If not, you probably need to bring it into the dealer to get it fixed.
I appreciate your video. A real life saver
Glad it helped. Thanks.
So it doesn't matter that you connected the negative terminal first. It still works the same or what
Yes, it will still work the same no matter which terminal you connect first.
Thanks so much. Worked perfectly!
Awesome. Glad to help.
BTW, you can buy a battery carry handle at most car parts stores. Its a heavy strap that has self setting clamps on both ends and worth buying if you have a car/truck that uses a post type battery like the one in this video.I've not bought one lately but it should be around $15 or less for one. I also like to use the insulating felt rings that go on the posts before you put on the clamps, they have a treatment on them to slow/stop corrosion.
Very good info. Thanks!
When you're ready to hook the new battery up, the positive goes on first
Another awesome tip. Thanks for giving back to the community. Glad you found the video.
What is that black tube for? I have that tube but it doesnt have the end mount to connect to the battery. Only the black tube.
The black tube lets any overflow from the battery drip outside of the vehicle. You need that hooked up. If the battery you have does not have it, you probably need to get a different battery. If you are just missing the fitting, I think any auto parts store will have it.
@@SeidelRanch Thanks .❤️
what is the gray tool connector for by the positive wire ?
Not sure, but it's typical for them to have other wires going to the battery outside of the main battery cable.
I will follow your instructions video
Hope it went well.
Thanks. Never would have found it.
Glad it helped.
Yep 👍🏾 very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for checking it out. Take care.
Don’t understand how you’re supposed to get the vent tube back on. It’s too short and pops out of either end when trying to put it back on.
I just bought a new one and used the two elbows to connect the two tubes together. They couldn’t make a longer tube?????
But that would cost .0005 cents more. But yeah. Agree.
@@SeidelRanch it was $28 for the new tube. Including an elbow and the plug to the outside of the car. It might be the battery I have ? It’s different from yours but yeah the tube would not install without coming loose
@@Sn00chieb00chies That is crazy. $28. Sorry to hear that. Mine actually reached fine.
Did your check engine light come on after jump starting the vehicle or after changing out the battery?
No, sorry. I did not have that issue.
@@SeidelRanch all good. I swapped out the battery and the check engine light went away. Thanks for your tutorial brother!
Great video. Thanks for sharing all the tips.
Thanks for watching!
Great info!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Weird place to put a battery but I guess there is no room in the front.
Exactly. The front is all compact.
There is one huge advantage to this battery location: you will never cook the battery due to high underhood temps. Particularly in a hot location eg Las Vegas, Phoenix etc
There’s plenty of room in the front for them to have put it! Today’s engineers have plenty of booksmarts but not much in the way of common sense!
A lot of German cars put their battery in the back
Thankxxx 🤭🥁💯
Glad it was helpful.
Great Video,
Thanks! Hope it helped.
Yes Sir it did. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you for the video.
You're welcome. Thanks for checking out my videos.
thanks for the video
You're welcome. I hope it helped. Thanks for watching.
Do they sell just the plastic elbow?
Do you mean for the drain? I think that it comes with the battery. You could reuse the one from the 1st battery maybe.
@@SeidelRanch
The plastic elbow was broken when it was installed 4 years ago by dealer ship
@@miltonsantacruz3438 Man, sorry to hear that. Lucky it did not make you sick. I would try an auto parts store like autozone or advance auto parts to see if they have that.
Is it the same thing for a 2011 Buick enclave
Pretty sure it is.
My enclave couldnt start after locked it with key Fob and walk away came back unable to start cant find battery then look up for it on TH-cam and low and behold i see it in the back how crazy is that? Thank you. Well im stuck now waiting for 1 hr for AAA
Sorry to hear that, but you now know where it is.
Thank you big trouble saver
My second seat don't lock back to normal place. Where I can fix it
Have you checked if there is anything stuck in the rails it moves on? They are in the floor. I have seen items get dropped in there and it keeps the seat from moving correctly.
What is the grey clamp called?
Grey clamp? On the battery, the wires? Sorry. Not sure what grey clamp. I re-watched the video and saw a grey wiring harness type clamp on the wires over the battery. Is that what you mean? If so, that is a small wiring harness connector.
Has anyone lost the a/c vent selector function after reconnecting the battery? Mine is stuck on floor vent regardless of the switch position. Began after my new battery installation.
Have not seen or heard that one before. If it started right after the battery change, you may want to try disconnecting the battery again and putting it back on to "reboot" it in a way to see if it starts working. Other than that, I am at a loss.
No idea the battery is behind the seat
Thanks!!
Yeah, I was surprised when I 1st looked for it too.
Had no idea they stashed the battery under the floor like that!
Yeah, it through me for a minute too. Had to check the manual and there is was, right behind the passenger seat.
How much that battery set you back?
I think it was about $150 at the time. I am sure everything has went up since then. It was a high end battery then.
Thank you...
Glad I could help.
Gracias
De nada
The battery can last longer inside the vehicle because it is in a controlled environment.
I did not think of it that way. Yeah, the inside of the vehicle protects it from the elements which will make it last longer. Thanks for that. I will be a little less irritated the next time I have to change it.
Thx
Welcome.
Very informative
Thank you.
Yeah, let's go to the dealer, and pay probably $200.00 for this 5-8 minute battery swap.
Yeah, some things are just not worth taking in. The price, the time, the headache. If you can DIY, why not.
@@SeidelRanch took me about 20 minutes, thanks to you!
