I have watched a million “how-to” UA-cam videos & I want you to know that this was the most concise & informative one I have even had the privilege of viewing! Thanks so much for the help!!!
@@ellietanner510 I agree, this video helped me so much. I was so irritated at the fact that they put the battery in the trunk without a way to open it Mannually. I knew there had to be a way but they didn't even have this in the owners manual. I had to have my kid crawl through my back seat to get my trunk open to change my battery
The door design on these and dodge charger vehicles were not thought out well. There is only one manual key entry. The handles on these break all the time and when you combine a broken handle with a dead battery you cannot get in unless you call a lock smith.
AWESOME, our Challenger is dead because it's been stored all winter and we can't get to the front "battery" and can't access the trunk. I was looking in the wrong place for the seats I thought it was what actually is the tether for a car seat. I just over thought it.
You can charge the battery in-place, or you can use a socket on an extension to remove the metal clamp shown at 3:19 between the negative battery cable and the case of the battery itself. Remove the clamp and set it aside, then loosen or remove the strap around the battery by pressing on the spring-loaded strap clamp, usually on the left side of the battery. Unplug the vent tube that’s near the positive terminal, and then remove the negative clamp, then the positive, and then haul 50+lbs of battery out of the trunk. It can be awkward getting it past the cables and such, so I recommend lifting it onto the spare or some other sturdy surface in the trunk first, then out of the trunk.

Key Don't Work Either??? Can't Get In The Car At All
How to open the door wan ur battery completely and the key don’t work to ?
do what is shown in this video
Cus we couldn’t figure that out 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Yeah you can't open/close door with a dead battery because it's an electronic windoor door open mechanism. The window will break.
@@nathanbass5527 is it true? What do I do now
What if the battery is disconnected

Uhmm how to remove the battery to charge the car? You don’t show to remove it
You can charge the battery in-place, or you can use a socket on an extension to remove the metal clamp shown at 3:19 between the negative battery cable and the case of the battery itself. Remove the clamp and set it aside, then loosen or remove the strap around the battery by pressing on the spring-loaded strap clamp, usually on the left side of the battery. Unplug the vent tube that’s near the positive terminal, and then remove the negative clamp, then the positive, and then haul 50+lbs of battery out of the trunk. It can be awkward getting it past the cables and such, so I recommend lifting it onto the spare or some other sturdy surface in the trunk first, then out of the trunk.
So if I purposely disconnect the battery (located in the trunk) for winter storage, I can't close the trunk. Got it.
Key Don't Work Either??????

Super helpful, but what a poor car design lol.
That’s assuming that you can crawl through your backseat and there’s nothing blocking your way. That was obvious answer and a waste of my time.
Right. There’s a speaker box mounted in mine.
