How to Remove a Battery in a Chrysler 300M
Car batteries provide the electric current to start the engine and power the electrical appliances in the car. The battery in a Chrysler 300M is located under the right, front fender, in front of the wheel. The car battery must be replaced, periodically, to ensure the electrical systems continue to operate properly. The owner can remove the battery, but he must take special precautions, to ensure it is done correctly and safely.
Instructions
- 1
Put on protective gloves, and open the hood. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the negative battery cable booster post. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the retaining bolt, and secure it, away from the post. Loosen the air intake duct hose clamp, using a socket wrench, and pull it away from the housing. Unhook the latches attaching the air filter cover to its housing, using your hands. Lift the cover and air filter out of the vehicle. Lift the air filter housing upwards and away from the inner wall, and place it outside the car.
2Unscrew the two bolts located under the air filter housing, which hold the battery hold-down clamp, using a socket wrench. Remove the clamp.
3Raise the front, right side of the car, using a jack. Use jack stands underneath the front frame for support.
4Remove the front, right wheel. Unscrew the nuts, using a lug wrench. Take the wheel off the car.
5Remove the five screws, securing the battery cover to the inner fender wall, and remove the cover. Slide the battery towards the rear of the vehicle, so the battery terminals become accessible. Loosen the negative battery cable retaining bolt with a socket wrench. Repeat this process on the positive cable bolt. Pull the clamps off the battery terminals.
6Remove the battery from the 300M.
