Chaning battery: Maintain power or not?
Am preparing to replace the main battery in my 2014 ML350. Do I need to maintain power (via a jump battery and the under-hood jump points) while the main battery is disconnected? I'd prefer to not have to reset the roof, windows, radio, etc.
Of late I usually provide supplemental power when replacing batteries but this car has me nervous that the positive terminal might touch the body or some other grounded metal when I'm pulling the battery out from under the passenger seat. I don't want to cause a short.
Thanks
