Battery Change Sequence

Time to change the batteries, did a Google and forum search and couldn't really come up with a cable/battery change sequence for a 2011 F350.

Anyone have a cable removal and or battery removal sequence?


Thanks ahead of time.

Always remove the ground cable first.

On a diesel, remove the ground (black) cable from both batteries before removing either of the Plus (red) cables. After new batteries installed, connect the Plus (red) cables on both batteries and then connect the black cables.

I just do one battery at a time to avoid losing any presets. Not a problem, I just put a plastic baggy over the + for safety.

You can buy one of the plugs that attaches a 9 volt battery and insert it one of the power ports.

On mine, the only thing that needs to be reset after a disconnect is the clock. Everything else is still set afterwards.

I've got presets in the Nav and radio. Didn't want to take a chance on losing them.
