Disconnect battery
Hi all

I want to paint the battery compartment underneath the passenger seat in my 2007 Puma. If I remove the battery is this going to cause problems with the key and immobiliser when I reconnect it?

I keep reading stories of folk whose batteries go dead and who then have problems when they install a new battery?

Jim

I've not had any problems with the immobiliser, but disconnecting the main battery may trigger the battery backup alarm sounder. It won't stop until it either the backup looses it's power or the main battery is reconnected and alarm reset.
Detail of how to stop that here:
Disconnect the battery within 17 seconds of turning ignition off and remove the key

in general as long as the ignition has been active then there will be no issues or alarm activation when you then disconnect the battery..........

open truck, key in ignition and illuminate warning lights, key off and then disconnect
