Make sure when you replace the battery then you plug the hard plastic plugs in the new battery. The plug that comes in the bag goes on the positive side of the battery and the filter plug goes on the negative side. If you do not do this correctly then fumes will cycle inside your jeep and make you sleepy while your driving. The negative side filter is to take those gases released by the battery and escort them into the exterior of the SUV. Don't forget this step. I show you how to do it at the end of this video.

Thanks for this video. I watched it before changing the battery in my son's 2014 Grand Cherokee this morning and it was a big help. I knew exactly what tools (and size) I needed. Saw a comment about removing the seat. I really didn't see the need. I moved the seat forward to access the negative terminal and vent tube then moved the seat back to access the positive terminal. It was really quick and simple that way. Once I got the battery disconnected and with the seat pushed forward, I was able to get my hands under the battery and it slid right out no problems at all. It was really a quick and simple process. In my case removing the seat would have taken much longer. Thanks again.
@markbrown9838 Its always good to take less things a loose so that you have less to deal with in the long run. Except if you absolutely have to so something wont break. Thank you again for commenting and watching my video

That's great, nothing wrong with the original. Dealership would technically be the best. I love using the Dealership if I have too. I worked at Sam's Club Tire and Battery for a long time. Duracell Gel was always my go to. Just a preference for me.
Appreciate you for this video man. It definitely helped streamline exactly what I needed and what I needed to do. The only bad thing about this video was my process was no where near as fast 😅 lol. All jokes aside. Very helpful on something I had been putting off for weeks.
That is to plug the the battery so gas don't escape from the hole. If you plug the negative side with the black one and the positive side has the tube side that funnels and filters the gas that tries to escape outside the vehicle.
There is a black bar that you lift up slightly right in front of the seat. Push the seat as far forward as possible and then pop the floor board part up. I popped it up in the back of the seat
I just know of the one under the hood, I didn't see no fuse box in my battery compartment. I have a Jeep GC Altitude, but some Jeeps have the extended battery starter and small fuse box in that compartment
There is another fuse right by the battery. It took me forever to find it. It is encapsulated by a plasitic cube. When u open it, it should pop out with plyers or by hand.
Yes, which part exactly. You may have to go to parts store or dealership for it. Its job is to funnel the gases to the outside of the vehicle so that you dont fall asleep driving.
Yeah I jb weld it and duck tape around the whole part just in case. I’m gonna order the hose and funnel part. I looked at it and I saw the hose under the car coming out so I just pop it back in and pull it out where it plugs into batter. East fix just finding it could be the difficult part. I’m gonna see if I can find a universal one so I can use the nozzle part that comes with actual battery.

@@ambitionoliver5928 do you know, they (the dealer) tried to charge my wife 800.00 to change this battery, mostly labor. Said it was on top, under the intake. That's criminal.
Hey, just checking, did your battery go out like all of a sudden, or did you notice over time that your Jeep wasn’t starting like it should, like a sluggish dragging before it’d start?
@@ambitionoliver5928 Well my friend, that’s exactly what mine is doing. When the remote start button with the key fob is pressed, the Jeep makes a couple clicks and won’t turn over. I’ve noticed when it’s starting, it seems to drag a little before it turns over. I suppose I should budget $250 or thereabouts for a new battery!
@@vigilantvoice9778 Yep, it sucks. I got mine from Sam's Club. Look around early because some places dont carry the gel battery. Ours cost more because of the type of battery we need inside of the Jeep.
@@ambitionoliver5928 Right on! I’m surprised the battery has lasted this long. It’s a 2015, and it still has the factory battery in it. Thanks for your response and input!
Jeep engineers are like almost ALL vehicle engineers - beyond stupid. The industry does NOT want the user/buyer to be able to do ANYTHING to the vehicle. The should have found a worse place for the battery - maybe above the crank down spare tire so the service cost to replace would be twice what it now is. Folks, EVERYTHING the EPA, your government, and the legacy media do is stupid beyond comprehension!
Why shouldn't you put the battery on the ground, when changing it. I worked in a tire shop for 4 years and learned alot about batteries. Never heard that before. Can you elaborate why?
