If you need to check out the battery on the Ford Transit, it's easier than you think. Instead of popping the hood and taking a look at the normal battery cage up front, the car battery in this model is located under the driver's seat. Move the driver's seat all the way back and pop up the armrest to begin the process of changing the battery. Remove the plastic screw covers so that you can see the rail stop bolts. Remove the bolts with a T-40 torque bit and pull forward on the battery compartment's plastic tabs to remove the cover. Remove the two topside bolts, unfasten the two electrical cords, and remove the metal bar that lies on top of the cage. Remove the battery cover completely, and you can now change your battery. If you have any doubts about this process, we can also perform it for you at our service department.
