How to disconnect the 12 Volt battery on a Ford Kuga Hybrid PHEV

Model: Ford Kuga MK 3 - Years 2020-2026
Part: Battery

In this video we see how to disconnect the 12 Volt battery on a Ford Kuga Phev: this intervention may be necessary to carry out maintenance on the vehicle's electrical system safely, or to prevent it from discharging in case of long inactivity of the vehicle; furthermore, it could be useful to reset electrical problems, and thus solve small malfunctions, as well as to physically replace the battery. The battery is located under the trunk floor; we disconnect and isolate the positive pole. Under the hood, on the passenger side, we find a green plug with a red safety clip: we pull this clip, push the green plug until a small hole is visible on the left side of the plug, where we will put a safety strap, as the plug cannot be removed. We cannot work on the car until ten minutes have passed from this operation.
