Title: Help installing battery tray cover?
Post by: Serge on June 09, 2009, 12:19:34 AM

As the title suggests could somebody please provide a pic of how the battery is secured in your trunk and how the cover sits over the battery, that would be very appreciated. Serge.

Red wire with inline fuse coming off the positive terminal powers the keyless remote entry unit just behind the plastic battery tray.

The battery tray is screwed into chassis with 2 bolts. Then battery sits on top. There is a clamp/threaded rod that holds battery down from moving around. Then cover goes on top and 3 plastic screw locks hold it in place, 2 at the bottom and 1 at the top towards the front of car.
