Thanks for taking the time to post this! Had to change my 2015 MKZ hybrid 12v battery and this gave me the confidence to tackle it myself.

Glad you found the video helpful. Hope your MKZ treats your well:)

I have an opportunity to purchase a 2020 MKZ with only 14K miles on it at a wholesale price of $25,000 here in the U.S. The original sticker was over $44,000 in U.S. dollars. However, when I popped the hood and did not see a battery my ultimate fears came true: that the battery was in the trunk. It is a Hybrid model and I wish they had found a way to make this battery easier to get to. No one wants to take 10 minutes just to get to a dead battery; especially if the are left stranded somewhere! This has made me rethink my purchase. However, I am very grateful for your video and you did an excellent job letting us know how to do this ourselves!

It is what it is… atleast it’s not under the rear seats like my Oldsmobile LOL. Glad you enjoyed my video:)

[@jamescunningham6249]

Oh, no! I have seen that before in some Buicks where you have to remove the back bench seat to get to the battery...just so crazy and inconvenient for both consumers and mechanics! Battery cables only stretch so far when you need a boost from someone and your battery is in an odd place! I'm thankful this is not the norm for most vehicles.@@321verykind

Question it’s a 2018 Lincoln mkz hybrid 2.0 that been sitting for 2 years will I have to change both batteries or is it only 1 battery in the car ?

[@321verykind]
