When the battery on your Ford Fiesta is flat and does not hold a charge, you need to replace it. Open the bonnet, and you will find the battery on the driver's side. Unscrew the two bolts securing the mounting bracket, loosen and remove the negative terminal, and unscrew the nut securing the cable to the body.

Also, unscrew the positive terminal after removing the cover and pull it out with all the wiring. Remove the old battery and place the new one in position, apply a thin layer of grease on the terminals, reattach the positive terminal and its cover, connect the negative cable to the body and secure the terminal, position the bracket, and tighten the two bolts.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
