This video goes over how to clean or replace a battery on a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica with a 3.6 motor. This process should be the same for any 2017-2021 Chrysler Pacifica with a 3.6. The Pacifica was redesigned in 2017, which was a replacement for Chrysler’s popular Town and Country minivan. Each vehicle has a manufactured recommendation on the cold cranking amps (CCA) required to start the vehicle on a cold day. If your vehicle comes with a 600 cranking amp battery, you can use a battery that has higher cranking amps if it fits into your vehicle. More power is always better! In colder climates, a battery can last five years or longer, but in hotter climates, a car battery typically lasts only three years. Fully charged batteries should read 12.6 volts or above. If the car is running, the number should be between 13.7 and 14.7 for a properly functioning battery. Some signs that your battery is starting to fail are slow or no cranking, dim lights, unusual electrical issues, and of course a warning light on the car's dashboard symbolizing a battery. Car batteries basically start the vehicle. Once started, the alternator takes over and supplies the power to the vehicle and recharges the battery, but at idle the battery may supply some power to the vehicle accessories that are on. Batteries come in group sizes that are designated to fit certain vehicles. This Chrysler takes a H7 group size which is something that is predetermined by the manufacturer. It is always a good idea to install a battery with a higher CCA rating since it will usually last longer and provide better performance in tougher climate conditions. When purchasing a battery you must make sure that it is the correct battery for your car per the manufacturer's recommended specification for the vehicle.

I watched a lot of incredibly long winded and unhelpful videos to finally find this one. Sounds like a dad giving you advice in a direct and simple way. Thank you! Subscribed!
Thank you! Glad it helped.
I’ve replaced this battery before on my van and it was always a headache. But removing that bar really sped up the process and made it much easier. Thank you!
Your Welcome .
Thank you, I followed your steps and after eight hours, I was able to replace both batteries 🔋 from my 2020 Pacifica
You’re welcome!
My daughter is 400 miles away and needed to get a new battery in her van and this was a great video... But, a tree cutting service pulled up behind her and several Spanish guys jumped out and took over and had her back on the road in a few minutes she said... Lol... But thank you for the video... I'll subscribe...
Glad it worked out and thank you!
Thank you for posting this. I was able to change out my battery in 15 minutes!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the video! This worked for a 2018 Pacifica too. My only question is this....who is the jackass engineer from Chrysler who thought it was a good idea to mount the battery like this?!!!
You're welcome, that question will be best left for Chrysler .
They did it on purpose, so u would just take it to the dealership & let them do it its called job security.
This was the video I needed thank you. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I honestly think they don’t want you working on your own car anymore.
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much!!! Very clear instructions. I definitely subscribed!
Thank you! Glad it helped.
Very good video. I have a 2021 with the auto start/stop. They apparently use an auxiliary battery that's right next to the main one. I like how you tried to preserve the factory blanket wrapping.
Thank you !
Thank you for this video. Made replacement easy.
You’re welcome!
My Pacifica has the start/stop feature so there's an aux battery next to the main one to start up from a traffic light. A bigger battery, w/ more cranking amps might be too tight if you do too. They have a little smaller one in that case. There are three plugs along the rear edge of the positive dist. board with the red cover you can unplug by releasing the latches on each. That will get you more space. It could be much worse.
About to do this when I get home. Thanks for making it idiot proof for me!
You're welcome!
Great video. Do you not have an aux battery in the van? Is yours not equipped with stop/start?
Thank you, no this van did not come equipped with the start stop feature.
Its worth noting EVERYWHERE says an H7 size battery will fit but I can tell you from my experience this week.......if you have the aux battery it most certainly does not. Has to be H6 for the main.
Excellent step by step instructions.
Glad it helped!
After you replace new battery what about the radio code ? Does it require security code ? Ir does multimedia require code after replacement
Usually your radio security code would be in your vehicle handbook, a sticker in the glove box, or you can go to the manufacture website to retrieve the information.
Hey Thanks
You're welcome!
