How to Replace the Battery in a Dodge Intrepid
- 1). Remove the battery cover and disconnect the air cleaner that is beside it by popping it off.
- 2). Take off the cable ends from the battery terminals with a battery terminal puller. Take off the negative terminal first.
- 3). Slide the battery toward the wheel well and remove it from underneath the wheel well.
- 4). Use a wire brush to clean the surface that holds the battery. Clean the insides of the connector cables with a pointed wire brush. Keep your gloves on at all times to avoid getting acid on your hands.
- 5). Rinse off the cables and the battery tray or wipe them off with a damp cloth, and let them dry out.
- 6). Insert the new battery on the shelf, bringing it up through the wheel well. Pop the air cleaner back into place.
- 7). Place the correct cable on each terminal and tighten securely with pliers or a socket wrench. Replace the battery holder and cover.
