Thank you! My husband is deployed and I went to get into my 14 van with all 4 kiddos and nope... dead battery. But you helped me out in a BIG way and I am able to fix it myself!! THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks for sharing. My wife's 2016 is barely 2.5 years old w/ 60K and the battery is already toast. I was really surprised when I pressed the start button, heard a few clicks, dash lights came on and off and it didn't start. After a few tries it fired up and got us home. Can't believe a battery would die that quickly. My 2001 4Runner w/ a Diehard battery always lasts at least 5 years. One recommendation to you and others, I was always taught to completely remove the negative terminal first, otherwise if it is still connected and you have your wrench on the positive terminal and accidentally touch it to something that is grounded on the car, such as those 10mm posts that hold the battery down, you can risk arcing the battery to ground which can be very dangerous. I like your black ratchet and socket, pretty slick.
Derek Wichmann what other indications did you have the battery was bad? I started mine today, brake pedal was jerky and she would barley crank then died. Had all kinds of lights on the dash as well
@@jesseharrahill2061 Please tell me if you had problem with the battery or the alternator. my van showed all lights on the dash and died. given this covid no auto shop wants to even touch the vehicle and i would appreciate your reply so i could think my next step. thank you. Sx
@@jesseharrahill2061 Thank you for your quick response. I really appreciate it. I take your advice and get it tested at the auto place trow. Thank you once again for your timely response. Sx
Excellent video. Helped me out this morning when I got in the van and it was dead as a doornail. My son ran the battery down using the built-in vac, and since then the original battery won't hold a charge. I guess almost 8 years isn't bad.
thanks for this! After decades of driving cars and replacing batteries, that air intake through me for a loop. I've never seen a setup where I had to remove other components to get to the battery! I couldn't even reach the negative terminal to do the jumpstart. Had to connect to positive and then clamp the negative to the frame for ground. Okay, got a battery to replace now so out to the garage I go. Thanks again!
You did a good job with the video, thanks so much for creating. I acknowledge that you missed showing the reinsertion of the top plastic cover and the metal plate and rods which would have made this video perfect. Thanks! Isn't the internet awesome! I don't have to figure out now, how to take out the air intake.
Thank you so much for this video!! I have absolutely no experience but thanks to your video, I was able to change the battery myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Much love ❤️
Left the dome light on over night. Dead battery. After a trip to auto parts store (wife's car) and watching this video, I had it fixed in no time. Thanks Blue-TSX!
thank you for your help. clear and detailed instructions. took me a few tries to figure out what battery you chose, but looks like a good battery, gonna get one tmro
Followed everything here and went great. Only difference for me was the air inlet came out with the rubber sleeve in tact on the engine side. Probably not important. For anyone wondering, pressing and holding audio power reset the security code for me. The car prompts you to do it.
Thanks..Wife called and said battery dead..lol...Watched your video on the way and was ready to go. Hey whenever I can score extra points with the wife it's a good day. Thanks again 😊
Thanks for the video but should always remove the negative terminal from battery first in case you touch the wrench to the positive terminal and and metal as you will arc across if negative terminal still connected.
Thank you. How did you do the rest? The audio system would likely have been disabled and the navigation system (if your car model had one) would have been disabled too. How did you re-activate them? Was any code required?
L Sequeira the code is usually in the glove box, or you can find it online with some information about your car (I believe the vin number), or you can go to a dealership where they will be able to figure it out for you. We resolved it because the car comes with a little card with the code in the glove box.
New batteries come with a plastic handle on top. Should this be removed at some point? I left the handle on when I installed my new battery and it presses against the air intake assembly above it.
Did you know that the 2016 Honda Odyssey eats batteries in accessory mode. I find out the hard way when the battery died while waiting in the car with the radio and other stuff on. Both AAA and Costco will not sell you any battery for a 2016 Odyssey. They will not warranty ANY battery for a 2016 Odyssey. The dealer only told me about the accessory issue on the 2016 Odyssey after I asked about it. Honda basically lied to me about the short battery life on this my ear model. They said they would prorate the battery, however most retailers do that already. Best to avoid the 2016 Odyssey. I have had both VCM and dead battery issues with this 2016.😡😡😡
That's why I'm watching this video. They didn't cover it? I know how to do battery terminals. It is the electronics I am concerned about. I have cauliflower growing on the positive terminal and I need to clean it. But I know if I disconnect it the radio will screw up. I vaguely remember the dealer telling me something about it.
@@1pcfred Here is a neat trick to get your radio going without the code. It will only work if its the original radio for your car - factory programmed for your VIN. After battery is reconnected, turn ignition on, press radio on bitton for more than 2 seconds to unlock it. No code required :-) . O own a 2015 Odyssey and it worked great. Dealer did not give me the code when I bought the car new.
@@spiculum1836 That's what I had to do. What I still can't figure out is who would want to steal one of those radios? Other than in an Odyssey I don't know what anyone could do with it. Personally I think it's just another way dealers can soak money out of customers.
After i replaced my battery on honda odyssey alarm goes on even if i use the remote keys its like the alarm needs to be reset my car is 2011 honda odyssey
Disconnect the negative terminal before you do anything else. Car batteries have a lot of current in them so you do not want to short them out. I almost had a stroke when you swung the battery hold down over the positive terminal. If you'd somehow managed to short that to the positive it'd have been fireworks then!

Glad it worked out well!

My wife's 16 Odyssey just did the same thing you described, I hope it's the battery.

Sara Iyer it was the battery. You can take it kit and go to your local auto parts place. Then can test it for you there.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot. Very helpful and straight to the point

Yeah, it was difficult to reinstall with one hand so I left that out. The internet is a wonderful place!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Your instructions were spot on and we were able to replace the dead battery on our 2014 Odyssey ourselves. Great job 👍🏼!
Had to change the battery in the wife's van. Awesome video. Many thanks my man.

Great video and simple talk. Saved me a few hundreds going to the dealership.

Which terminal did you put on first? I appreciate the video, but did I miss something?

They are quoting anywhere between $40-$80 in my area to do this, thank you!
Great video and I used the tray that you referenced towards the end of the video before I even finished the video. Go figure...

thx, your tips were super helpful, including the arrow and fr label. i put a plastic bag over the intake after seeing stuff in your towel lol
Thanks bud for the video. You just helped me, help a friend stranded with same vehicle.
Thank you so much for this video. You already made my morning tomorrow so much easier!
wasnt sure how to get those clips off without breaking something. Thanks for the video!
Thanks. Question: Does the radio/GPS lock after the replacement?
Thanks for posting this video, it was very helpful!
How did you clean up the battery terminals??
I use WD40 for this type of cleaning
Incredibly helpful video! Thank you!

When you disconnect battery terminals.. your Radio will require the theft code to be entered ... Am I correct in saying this ?

I replaced the battery with Energiser AGM24F successfully on my Oddyessy 2016.
Great video. Thanks for the detailed information
Mine was a 2017 so I’m surprised that Costco doesn’t support a 2016
I bet the honda designers made that cavity specifically for holding tools and parts while you work on the car. Japanese are very thoughtful that way.
Thanks was worried I was going to break the screws off the air vent.
Very helpful and simple video. What is the best battery for this? Other than OEM Honda brand? Tried in Costco, they are not carrying it.
I brought a mid tier battery from Home Depot. I think any auto parts store mid tier or above will be fine.
I put in an Interstate battery.
I went to Sam's Club. Did have a good Duracell battery
ACDELCO battery on my Nissa last 10 years.
Thanks for posting. Very helpful.
Thanks brother. This helps a lot!!
Thanks, this was super helpful!
After i replaced my battery on honda odyssey alarm goes on even if i use the remote keys its like the alarm needs to be reset my car is 2011 honda odyssey

Great job buddy
Could have taken a shot of the front of the new battery. Good call looking out for the debreeze.
Thank you!!
VERY USEFUL VIDEO
Thanks dude!

Perfect. Thanks.
Thank you
Thanks nice video!
Thanks!
Nice thanks!
2011-2017*
THANKS
thx!
It was helpful until it wasn’t. All of the sudden the battery was fully in and you said it was self-explanatory. It is not.
watching this video cus my mom will pay me 10 bucks to help her replace the car's battery kek
It’s not self explanatory to put it back in!
4th Generation.
Good video. Thank you
