Diconecting the Battery on a 172

[Rhino172]

A very simple question for you guys...

Is there anything to do before diconnecting the battery as regards the standard alarm/immob?

On the valver there was a little key you could turn the alarm/immob off so it doesn't sound when you disconnect the battery and make you deaf! lol

Anything like that on a 172?

I'm fairly sure theres nothing

Does it have factory fitted alarm or retro fitted alarm i.e an import?

 

[Rhino172]

ah good point...mines an import...

Don't set the alarm on it & it should be fine. Remember though you'll need the code for the radio (if you've got the standard one)

 

[Rhino172]

ah! another good point! Where can I get that from?

All I'm going to do it connect a power lead for an amp...funny, I've not actually paid that much attention to the battery...what's the chances of me just unscrewing it and connecting the power lead without anything disconnecting?

 

[pete_clio]

quite good if its anything like my 1.2. i think i managed it

 

[mikey_172]

is this to fit ur power leads ryan?

 

[Rhino172]

yes mate...I'm using mine not Ollies "home made" botch of a cable! lol

 

[mikey_172]

lol you wont need to dissconect the batter then will ya ? just take the nut off on the terminal and leave the termainal leads in place

 

[Rhino172]

yeah thats what I'll do now mate...like I say I've never paid any attention to it so not sure on how all the teminal leads are actually connected to it...

 

[mikey_172]

oh i c well you could always attach a jump pack to ur battery terminals just be safe so you wont have to get the stereo codes etc

 

[Rhino172]
