Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / April 2007Taking a battery out
I have a 96 Subaru. Is there anything that has to be reset if I remove the battery? I mean, besides the radio buttons? And the clock? With newer cars, is there anything that needs to be reset? I know they have computers but is all that stuff automatic when you power back up? TIA Andy >I have a 96 Subaru. Is there anything that has to be reset if I > remove the battery?

If you run into this problem just clean the throttle body and it will idle normal again. >I have a 96 Subaru. Is there anything that has to be reset if I > remove the battery?

You might need to enter a passcode into your radio. >I have a 96 Subaru. Is there anything that has to be reset if I > remove the battery? I mean, besides the radio buttons?

Hook up a 9v battery to the cigarette lighter before you remove the car battery. Go to Radio Shack and get a lighter plug and wire it up. Center tip is +. 9v isn't enough to light lights and so on, but it is enough to power the various computers and keep their memory, radio presets and all that. I think auto parts stores sell those 9 volt battery thingys for when you remove the car battery.You can easily make your own from a snap on clip (for 9 volt battery) and a car cigarette lighter. cuhulin Thanks for the replies. I wasn't sure if I was asking a dumb question or not. I guess not. ;-) I'll have to check on one of those 9v thingys. Andy |
