- Looking at replacing the battery in your 2016 Lincoln MKC looks intimidating with as buried as the battery is in the engine compartment. Don't lose heart, it's not as hard as it looks! Take a look at the video and you'll soon see that it's not difficult once you understand how to get to the battery!
Perfect, exactly what I needed. Your quote "battery decided to die overnight" cracked me 'cause that's exactly what mine did, no warning.
Glad it helped you!
Thanks for the video. I just pulled a battery from a 2015 MKC. I found out that you don’t actually have to remove the air filter.
You can just disconnect the side of the battery box and bend it about half an inch at the top, then pull the battery out at an angle. It is difficult to pull it out , I would recommend some twine or something similar so you can pull it right out when you have it at the correct angle.
Hi there, appreciate the TY :) Not having to remove the air cleaner would be a big plus. Next time around I'll have to remember that, thanks!
Thanks to this comment and one on another video I saved a lot of time - worked perfectly, cheers!
Thank you, you are the only video showing this
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped you!

You're welcome, glad it helped you, thanks for the compliment!
I needed this thank you!
Thanks, glad it helped you!
Thanks! Perfect instruction...and a lot of checkpoints... Its always a 'learning' experience...isn't it... ;)
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped!
This helped out alot, thanks for the video! 👍
Glad it helped you, wish I could have found one before I did it!
Video helped immensely, thank you. That air box was a b*ll buster!. Also positive terminal has some silly tightener that was broken when I went to unscrew it. I had to pinch it manually to tighten it. Have to look to see if I can replace it.
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad it helped! I know I could have done a better job on the video but I was half way through the project when I though about making it 😁
Thanks! I was stumped.
Glad it helped you!
Thank you very much that was very helpful
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful 🙂. I appreciate your comment!
Thank you bud .your the best....🎉
Thanks! Just wanted to help others 🙂
You da man. Thanks for this.
Can you tell me what that small connector that plugged into the negative battery terminal is for? I discovered mine unplugged, but I'm not experiencing anything not working. It's the one you zoomed in on towards the end, after battery was connected.
I really have no idea, sorry. I would suggest going to a Ford/Lincoln dealer and asking their service folks, surely they would know?!
I'm wondering if it is a lead to the fuses in the back of the car. There's a connection back there that goes to the battery for things like trailer lights and accessory power.
Very informative video. I’m going to replace the battery in my 2017 . Did you do the Battery Management System reset procedure or just let the vehicle “rest” for 8 hours to reset the system? BTW, it looks you really take care of your vehicle. Engine bay is really clean. Thanks for the video.
Hi,
Thanks for the kind words on my video. When I had to change the battery on my wife's car I went to UA-cam and I figured there would be several videos for the procedure. Amazingly I couldn't find even one, so, once I figured it out, I made the video. I'm glad it helped you!
As to the Battery Management System Reset, I never knew there was such a thing until I read your message. So there's something to do after you replace the battery? I would appreciate info on that (or is it in the owners manual?)
Have a good day!
Norm
It was not bad once you get it out! But thank you!!!!!!
Glad it helped. I put the video together with just explaining what you do and pointing to stuff but at least it's a basic explanation of what you have to do. For me, I searched UA-cam and found nothing which really surprised me. Hence my quickly made video!
video helped, thanks
This is the worse battery design I've seen for a car!
Thank you!!!!!!
You're welcome, glad folks are finding this!
I am looking to replace a dead battery on my 2016 Lincoln MKC (Burgandy color) in June 2020.
What are the chances? lol
Not a problem if you have the tools. Just watch the video and you'll have the new one in in no time 🙂
I found FOUR 8 mm retaining screws holding the air cleaner cover on, not just 3. I bought and used a Schumacher memory saver cable. Anybody needing to rent it from me can come get it, since I will not need to use it again until four years from now when the new battery dies. 314-892-2511.
Thank you for making the you tube post. I got motivated and replaced the " professional installation required" battery after Sam's Club, Auto Zone, Reilly's deferred declined and avoided the challenge because of their policy. Thankfully I got my wife to hold a light and finished it, but I am usually slow handed. So this was even slower : three hours. The original equipment Ford motor company battery was a lead acid battery with corrosion on the negative terminal and weak nature. I have installed an Auto Zone Duralast AGM.
