Battery completely dead...
Hello, my battery died completely. I believe the lights were left on and it’s a 6yr old battery. How do I remove battery without juice to move passenger seat? If I take to indie, how much should replacement battery cost?
Also, how do i get it towed if i can’t get it in gear since dash isn’t lighting up at all.
Thanks

If you have a battery charger, you should be able to hook the positive to the positive in the engine compartment to get power to move the seat. Attach the negative to the crossbar bolts and it should give you a good negative post if memory service me correctly.

I got my battery from Advance Auto, used coupon and it was like $160. Took battery home, used jumper cable to connect the new battery to positive post under the hood and ground to the metal post found on the side/fender. Move the seat forward..first time changing battery you have to cut through the carpet to gain access to the battery hatch. There is a video on YouTube showing you how to change battery, if it helps. Swap out battery, take the old one back to Advance Auto to get the core refund.
