Battery, Mounting and Cables - Battery Disconnect and Connect Ranger 2006.5 (05/2006-)
General Procedures

  1. Before beginning any work, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, then disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 min. to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power. Disconnecting the battery cable will delete the memories of the clock, audio, and DTCs, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to note down the information stored in those memories before disconnecting the cable.
  1. If the battery had been disconnected during vehicle maintenance or for other reasons, the window will not fully close automatically. Initialize the power window system for the power window main switch.
    For additional information, refer to: Door Window Motor Initialization (501-11 Glass, Frames and Mechanisms, General Procedures).
