Changing battery
« on: June 07, 2015, 02:45:59 PM »
When I remove the negative cable from the battery, how do I keep the alarm from going off? Thanks

you turn the ignition on like you're gonna start the bike (of course you need your fob near).  give it a second for the alarm to de-initialize, then pull the maxi fuse, then shut off the ignition. 

after you've got the battery all wired up (negative cable last), then you can reinstall your maxi fuse.

(this process is outlined in your manual for future ref....)

That's right or you stand the chance of blowing fuses/relays

Guess I learned something too. Never blow a fuse yet, but will start pulling it from now on

Got the starter replaced this morning. Turned key on, pulled master fuse, then removed negative cable. All went well-no alarm screaming.

Explained in the owners manual. Example, sister called today and wanted to know how much I was paying On-Star on our new commuter car. Nothing, it is free for 5 years for basic. She was upset because she was paying $30.00/mn. I asked if she read her owners manual and she got hateful, that is something she does not have time for. Also did not know and never heard of voice operating her info-tainment system on new Cad and had no idea what the lane change warning even was, except for annoying noise she was tired of.
SO...read your owners manual. IMHO.
