2003 Ford Ranger Car Batteries Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Safety Precautions Should Be Observed When Servicing Car Batteries on 2003 Ford Ranger?

  A: Service technicians should take safety measures for battery work because the explosive gases from batteries create possible personal injuries so maintain distance from all types of flame and sparks and battery shielding face protection along with proper eye safety and ventilation. Before working with front or side air bag supplemental restraint system components or air bag sensors you must disconnect the battery ground cable to drain back up power and wait one minute while making sure all auxiliary batteries have power cut off. When lifting a battery you should hold the battery by its opposite corners while using a battery carrier to avoid damaging the vent caps through end wall pressure that could lead to acid spilling out. Children should never access batteries since they possess sulfuric acid which requires keeping them separate from skin contact and eyes while also protecting your eyes from acid splashes. After acid exposure, you need to rush to medical personnel while continuously flushing the affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Call directly to a physician for health care following acid ingestion. Start by detaching the battery ground cable followed by removal of the positive battery cable during the battery disconnect process. The installation of the battery requires performing the opposite steps used for removal. Reconnection of the battery product may cause the vehicle to show irregular driving patterns before it learns normal adaptive habits and requires an indicator flasher update or reconfiguration.
