Ford S Max - Video tutorial

Model: Ford S Max MK 1 - Years 2006-2016
Part: Battery
Operation: How to replace the battery on Ford S-Max and Galaxy MK1

In this video, we see how to replace the battery of a Ford S-Max (or Galaxy, the procedure is the same). The battery is located in the rear left part of the engine compartment. There is a point between the battery and the fuse box where the battery can be disconnected; we will isolate the cable with a piece of rubber tubing. To improve access, it is recommended to remove the air filter box and disconnect the wiring, then remove the duct and lift the air filter housing from its supports. Disconnect the connectors from the panel and remove the plastic cover from the battery. Unscrew the cable and disconnect the positive terminal, isolating the clamp. Open the lifting handles and remove the battery from its housing. Now it is possible to disconnect the negative terminal. For reassembly, we start by mounting the negative terminal, applying vaseline on top; we put the battery back in its place and reattach the securing clamp. Reconnect the positive terminal and also apply vaseline to it, reinstall the plastic cover and position the block connector. Remove the previously placed piece of plastic tubing and tighten the ground cable. Now reposition the air filter assembly, connecting the cable, plug, and duct. Job done.

This plastic key must be inserted into the seat inside the flap on the right side of the body immediately under the ignition switch. Then, open the plastic door and insert the key to unlock the saddle opening where we can find the battery and replace it if necessary.
