    FYI, the little grey stud sticking out of your fuse box is where you clip your red cable. You clip the black to the spot that says "gnd". Nothing has to be removed to do that. They designed it that way for that exact reason

      I am really late reading this but was going to tell her the same thing! I have the same battery in my equinox and it's a pain to replace or to figure how to jump it the first time. 810 dollars to replace alternator and oil change? That has to be 150 dollars an hour! At least!😮

    Lovely to see there is still so much kindness in this world! Living in a country (Rep of Ireland) where we have Pancake Tuesday with pancake themed activities instead of Mardi Gras it was wonderful seeing all the parades and decorated porches as well as hearing all about this fun celebration and this lovely town 🙂
