This helped me replace my battery in my FK8. Thank you.

For anyone who has replaced a battery on a similar model if you have issues where the vehicle does not crank or do anything on a cold start and you have to keep cycling it twice or shift to N to start. Do this;
1. IGN off
2. Disconnect the negative terminal then the positive
3. Connect / touch both terminas together or use a jumper wire with a fuse built into it if you wanna be on the safe side.
4. IGN on
5. Leave the vehicle like that for 10 minutes
6. IGN off
7. Connect the positive terminal and then the negative terminal.
This how you perform a battery reset on these and most vehicles when you have some funny electrical problems going on.

I had a question I replaced my battery in my 2020 Honda Civic and the little black case that stays around the battery when you put it back in is it is a little bit above the battery and it's touching the terminals is that going to do any harm like can it catch on fire? Thank you

I just recently changed the battery in my 2019 Civic and I noticed something very odd. The mileage range went from about 425 miles (full tank of gas) down to 360 miles, and I have no idea why. Any suggestions as to why this would happen would be very helpful.

What socket wrench do you use because my socket wrench won’t go down on the bolt

[ybrik]

you can loosen while pulling up the black plastic bolt (battery cable harness for negative wire) so you can easily loosen and tighten that other bolt bracket.
