How do you change a battery in a 2001 Dodge Intrepid?
Could someone please write me some good instructions for changing the battery on a 2001 Dodge Intrepid so it doesn’t turn into a 5 hour job. Thank you. A: With the Intrepid, the battery is in a compartment inside the wheel well. The car need to be jacked up, and supported on jack stands (never work on a car just supported by a jack, if the jack slips you can be injured or killed by the falling car!) You then must remove the tire. This will give you access to the battery panel cover. Remove the cover, and then take the battery hold down loose. Loosen and remove the battery cables, and slide the battery out. Reverse the procedure to install the new battery. This is one of those cars where it may be worthwhile to buy your battery at a place where they install them for free. The slight additional cost that you will pay for the battery at a place like that is well worth it. It is a lot easier to do this on a lift in a shop!
