Thank you! Replaced the original battery today on my 2014 that unbelievably lasted over 7 yrs (purchased new in Nov 2013) and 173,000 miles! Watching your video beforehand made the job easy.
Cool glad to hear it helped and Wow that is the longest I have ever heard a battery last! The heat is hard on them here. Thanks for the comments! Please Subscribe and hit that Notification bell. Thanks again!
Just changed the battery in my 2014 Limited Grand Cherokee. This is a great video but I’d like to add a couple of tips. At 3:40 in the video, there is shown the back of the seat rails where there is a plastic snap cover on each. I had to pop those off and remove the nuts there so I could raise the back of the seat just a little to get the battery out and the new one in. Secondly, if you have serious anger management issues or are a bleeder, take it to a dealer.
Lol Thanks Gary!
I had no idea either that the battery is under the seat. Good job! Can’t wait to hear more about your three boys. Great informative CZcams channel.
Thanks Chris! Yep it surprised me too! Thanks for the comments!
Appreciate the help. Everyone was telling me to take out the seat but I’m glad I found your video before I did. Saved me time and effort..
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped!
The original battery in my 2014 JGC died completely while I was deployed and wouldn’t even hold a charge. This video was great and saved me some money. Thanks a lot!
Glad it helped Lucas! You can't believe how much money I have saved over the years. Please Subscribe and hit that notification bell! Thanks for the nice comments!
How did you move the pax seat without power?
I brought my wk2 off of Carvana because of your videos on them and this video also helped me out a lot just wanna say thanks for the great vids!
You're welcome J J and thanks for watching!
This is great video, really helped me out to change my wife’s CRD dead battery.
Loving the Duracell multipurpose charger and the story about your sons.
This video helped me save money by doing it myself which is really a big thing in the current economic climate 🙏🏽
Stay Healthy Bro 👊🏽
Thank you very much! I'm glad it helped!

I have an 11 GC and original battery is still cranking.!!92,000 miles!!
Yeah batteries don't last that long in the Phoenix heat! Thanks for the comment! Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
my 2018 GC has the silly auto stop/start feature. They cram another smaller battery in there that has to be removed first. What a pain!
Huh! I didn’t know that. Thanks!
On the opposite end of the battery from the vent tube is an identical port that needs a plug in it. Not all new batteries come with this plug. I just transferred it from the old battery!
Hey thanks for the info AK bohonk! I'm going to have to get back in there and check it out! If you haven't already, give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
Thanks
You're welcome!
After finding that terminal loose , I would have tightened it and checked the battery then ...

Thanks for this. I almost bought a new Jeep. Dumbest idea ever to put the battery inside the cabin. What if it overcharges and ruptures allowing toxic gas to escape or in an accident.
Good point. Thanks for the comment Raymond!
Or how about moving the electric seat out of the way with no power to the seat? 😖
@@Frankie5Angels150 New Battery?
Is it normal for the battery light to stay on a little after changing the battery? I’ve already changed the alternator as well.
Sorry no it's not. Thanks for the question!
@@OurSimpleAdventures fuckkkkkk 😂
How do you move the electric passenger seat without power to get to the battery?
Not sure, jump it? Attach the new battery to it?
He had a battery pack hooked up under the hood . It would move if you have that . If you dont then you are SOL .
lucky for you yours died at home before you left. Mine died at doctor office 20 miles away. And I stupidly boxed in the front of the car by parking it against other car so it was hard to reach the cables. If you think your battery is going out , park it with the front end out. You don't have the start stop battery in there with it? Is that a Laredo? My limited has that. Also is there a better between the brands Duralast, Duracell, or Diehard? I see the Diehard has groups H7 and H6. How do those relate to 49 and 94 groups?
Thanks for the comments! Mine was a limited also. Personally I don't think there is a lot of difference between those top brand but I am not an expert by any means. Good Luck!
@@OurSimpleAdventuresThanks, went with Die Hard because I liked the commercials as a kid of the car at the north pole starting ha. It was a pain to swap out too. I missed the part about the brace plate. I was pulling on it and it was like the damn sword in the stone lol.
@@alan933 Ha oh crap! Thanks for the comments and I'm glad it helped!
Missed the unremovable cleat in front, as battery edge slides into it.
Thanks for the comment!
Just remove the four bolts that mount seat and you have all the access you need.
You could do that too!
If you left the battery booster connected you would have retained all the memeory in the radio/seat settings etc.
Right on. I wish I would have thought of it at the time!
Maybe but that leaves the connections to the battery HOT when you pull them off . You would have to insulate them somehow so they dont short out while you are trying to cram in the new one .
@@vipergg9159 NO, there are connections in the engine bay where you connect the leads for jump starting the car so use these to retain power to the electronics
Be glad you dont have one with stop/start as they have also crammed in the auxilary battery in that same hole and that has to come out before you can pull out the main battery . Talking about ridiculous . Do you really want to tackle this in the middle of the winter if it dies ? Thanks FCA !!!
Ha Right! Thanks for the comment and NO I don't want to do it in the middle of winter!
If the battery is dead, how can I move the seat? to change the battery?
Actually not 100% sure but I believe the seat takes so little of a charge that it will still move. Let us know if you find anything different.
get a 12v battery ( or the new one ) connected to the terminals in the boot this would allow movement of the seat.
should have said under the hood.
@@MrSnookerballs Good call.

Can’t even move the seat. No electricity at all in my grand Cherokee. Can’t get it to jump start either. Just so odd. Figure a dead battery would not allow the seats to move.
Wow that sucks. I would think if you tried jumping that would be enough to move the seat.
Installed Walmart Everstart H8 AGM ... Arghh! It’s 13” long. OEM battery is 12” long. Now there’s not enough room to remount the cleat to secure it. Really? Thanks Walmart!
That sucks and thanks for letting us know! If you haven't already give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
Why not undo the front clips BEFORE you run the seat all the way forward?
You sure could Grant! Thanks for the comment. Please Subscribe & Hit that Notification Bell as there will be more!
This location is annoying. Seems like everything is designed to make self-repairs as difficult as possible. I can hardly get the battery out without extenders and all that for the ratchet. Also, need 14 flashlights.
I agree M Peacock. Also all the special tools needed to work on late model cars. Thanks for the comments!
When I first realized where my battery was I almost wanted to return the Jeep. Let's put all the electronics on the floor and trail rate it for water crossings. Stupid.

Ikr....makes zero sense
Putting the battery underneath the passenger seat us one of the worst design choices I've ever seen
Yeah I can't imagine the reasoning.
Definitely harder to steal.
I agree. It’s designed that way to force you to go to the dealer.
@@smith7388 Not if you have CZcams! Lol
While its a pain to replace, my factory battery (2016) lasted 8 years so there is something to be said for keeping it away from the heat and vibrations of the engine compartment.
K
Lol
Dumb as hell they put the better there. 🙄
Yeah what do you do..
Such a stupid design and place for the battery
I agree! Thanks!
lasted 5 yrs for you ? thats nothing my 2015 jeep grand has never been changed and still is good., little over 8 years and still good but just for the heck of it I will be changing it in a couple days .
Thanks for the comment!
