How to Disconnect the Battery in My Ford Edge

Disconnect your battery before extended storage of your Ford Edge.

You may need to disconnect the negative cable on the battery in your Ford Edge if you plan to store the vehicle or replace the battery if it dies. Disconnecting your battery can be accomplished in a few quick steps.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdriver

Instructions

1. Turn your Ford Edge's engine off and open the hood. To open the hood, release the hood level located underneath your Ford Edge's steering wheel.

2. Pull the plastic terminal covers off your battery and push them to the side, out of your way.
