How to Replace the Battery on a Dodge Journey

Model: Dodge Journey MK 1 - Years 2008-2020
Part: Battery

This video explains the steps for removing a battery on a Dodge Journey (the same applies to the Fiat Freemont). Pay attention to how to proceed. In this vehicle, the battery is not located in the engine bay but in the front bumper (left side). The first step is to loosen the wheel nuts, lift the car on a column lift, and remove the wheel (for convenience). Then, use a metal trim tool to remove the plastic rivets from the inner wheel arch (left front). Now, unscrew the battery terminal bolts with the appropriate socket wrench. Insert the new battery into the housing and reconnect the terminals, tightening all the rivets of the wheel arch with the screwdriver. Finally, refit the wheel with the respective nuts.

How to Replace the Rear Light and Bulbs on a Ford Focus Year 2000

To replace the rear light and bulbs on a Ford Focus 2000/2004, first, open the tailgate of the boot. This gives access to the screw that holds the rear light in place. The screw to undo (using an appropriate screwdriver) is located inside the light and corresponds to the fold that accommodates the tailgate (as shown in the images). Once you start to undo it, continue with the operation and then remove the nut from the inside of the bodywork. At this point, you can remove the light, being careful to disconnect the electrical supply by unplugging the connectors or removing the entire bulb holder from its housing. This way, you can replace the bulbs. To reassemble everything, simply follow the described operations in reverse order.
