- Removing the seat is required on most power-adjust seat models and can make it much easier on manual-seat models. We prefer to remove the seat on both models as then we can see and work on the hold down and cable ends as needed.

Thank you for an extremely demonstrative and helpful video.👍
Thank you for making this video! I was able to change my battery myself!
Awesome!! Thanks for watching and thanks for letting us know.
why remove the whole seat? JUST MOVE ALL THE WAY FORWARD AND CHANGE FROM THE BACK!
I was thinking the same thing!
That is all you need to do just move the seat up. That’s what the dealer probably does to charge for more labor lol
You can do that but I've found it much easier with the seat removed. It's 4 bolts and takes 1 minute to remove the seat. This is especially true on the start stop Jeeps with the auxiliary battery.
Yep. Just move seat forward. Scam removing seat.
@@glennmcguire5571actually it’s not the seat doesn’t go forward for enough to pull the main battery out as the situation with my car that has both batteries and very little room to fit any tools much less pull out
Thats way too much work to replace battery. I will never buy a vehicle unless the battery is under the hood.
Thank you for this beautiful video
Did the car not have a battery clamp down? My 2015 does.
This battery was NOT installed correctly or you would not have been able to remove it without first removing the alternate batter right next to it. THE ALTERNATE BATTERY AND BRACKET HAVE TO BE REMOVED FIRST BECAUSE THE BATTERY SLIDES IN AND OUT OF PLACE. If your battery is installed correctly, you CANNOT remove it without completely removing the alternate battery first
excellent - clear and concise
Thank You!
It's not really necessary to remove the seat...
1) Properly attach a 12V, 6Amp battery charger to the battery posts under the hood. This will allow you to move the power seat and to keep the memory alive.
2) Remove the access panel to the battery under the front passenger seat.
3) Move the seat as far BACK as possible.
4) Loosen the 10mm positive battery connector, move aside, making sure not to short on the body panels.
5) Move the seat as far FORWARD as possible, including UP and tilting forward.
6) Loosen the 10mm negative battery connector, move aside.
6) Remove the vent from the side of the battery, move aside.
7) Remove the two 13mm nuts using a deep socket.
8) Remove the hold-down bar.
9) Carefully remove the battery from its location. It's heavy.
Installation is the reverse procedure.
It really makes it more accessible and easier if you unbolt and move the seat out of the way. It's super simple to remove the seat, and also please consider we videoed this for others, and its much easier to see with the seat removed.
@@APDTY I get that but removing the seat is an extra step.
Shoot!! I guess I’m shit outta luck,lol! Both of my front seats are fully powered on my 2016. I’ll figure something out. 🔥👍🏽💯
This was a great video man, I’m trying to figure out which fuse to change, would you happened to know? The jeep has battery but the push to start isn’t turning the jeep on
I’m assuming it’s the same for the 2018 GC?
By the way great video.
What in the world??? Dude, you can take that battery out without removing the seat.
@APDTY - What is that other battery next to it? it's possible to remove it and put a bigger battery instead?
It's an auxiliary battery not used for starting the vehicle
What a bad enginers a battery under seat 😩
We can "thank" Mercedes, for that. This model Jeep was "engineered" by Mercedes, when they owned Chrysler.
On my 2014 Jeep Cherokee SRT the seats are powered and you can't move the seats at all if the battery is dead. Mine (passenger seat), was positioned all the way back, so I had to remove the decorative cover for the rear left seat bolt cover/seat rail, to get to the nut and it was a bitch to remove. And I left it off because today I'm changing out the another dead battery for the 3rd time.
Just needed to move seat FORWARD. Did not need to pull off seat
If you aren’t removing the seat you are doing it all wrong. I cannot begin to tell you what a huge difference it made removing the seat. And it was easy. Before you say it’s dangerous because you don’t know the torque let me say this as long as the bolts are very tight that seat isn’t going anywhere.
how many years usually battery works for grand cherokee 2015?
I have a '16, and it had the original one since brand new, the last week the battery died, so 7 years.
My 2016 GC's battery died, yesterday. It lasted 6 years and 9 months. I had to replace both batteries, without removing the seat.
Why take the seat out instead of just pushing forward to get to the battery lol
Trying to figure out how to remove my dead battery from my 2013 with power seats
You can try to connect the new battery to the terminals under the hood with some extra jumper cables. That might juice things up enough to move the seat forward at least.
@@TB-ni4ur it's doesn't work!!!!
By the time you got that seat out, I could have had the old battery out and the new one in....and I could've driven at least five miles and stopped at McDonald's tfor a Happy Meal.
Well, congrats, but If you are referring to the seat removal, does your model have full power seats?Seat removal is not required on all models as it depends on the year and if you have the full power-adjustable options. We are also not in a race and recording a video to show people how to do it. Then instead of McDonalds, we went to Five Guys and had excellent burgers and fries! 😘
You are supposed to unplug the negative clip on wire first
Did you watch the video??
Great video worked perfectly. Looks more like a 2017 to me but regardless SEXY Jeep!
do you have a 2016? did it work?
Dear automakers of the 21st Century: Please don't put the battery under the seat! It was such a pain to get this out. My battery was mounted down from under, so I had to do extra steps to get it out.
I did not know the jeep Grand Cherokee ha stage batter that complicated just imagine taking to the dealership that would cost like 300 or 400 alone just to think I was gonna buy a grand Cherokee not sure if I want to now
Dealer charges 35 bucks to put a battery in. I am still trying to figure out why this clown pulled his seat out. If it were a nice Jeep that seat would be fully electric with cooling and heating.
The new battery looked like it also has a gas vent hole on the positive side. I see that you correctly inserted the vent tube in the negative side, but don't you need to plug the other side?
Nothing is easy with this car...
Don’t listen to this video. DO NOT REMOVE THE SEAT!! For one you don’t need too, secondly it’s a safety concern if not torqued properly with a thread lock.
Slide the seat forward and work from the back, after you remove the tie down you can slide the battery back to remove the positive terminal and then slide the battery right out.
I disagree. Removing the seat is a piece of cake. And getting access to the battery with the seat unbolted and tilted back makes the job very easy. The difference with my battery charge is I didn’t unplug anything. As far as torque I was shocked the bolts aren’t extremely tight. You can find the correct torque for those bolts. One thing I noticed in this video there weren’t any brackets holding the battery down. That’s a little concerning.
OMG You removed the passenger seat... TOTALLY NOT NECESSARY... You are giving people way too much work and giving incorrect instructions. If you have a 2014 to 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you DO NOT need to remove the seat
Don't be scared to remove the seat. It makes this job so much easier. It has four simple bolts and one electrical connector to get it out of your way. If you do this job more than once, you will likely remove the seat after doing it without removing the seat.
You have got to be shitting me! Never again will I buy this model. Ridiculous you have go through this exercise just to replace a battery.
Funny , my son in law loved his the first couple months , a year later hates it
I stopped installing batteries myself along time ago. I have a reliable mechanic. Comparing the prices that I have to pay for a new battery for a retail purchase is usually pretty much the same as having him install it.
