Battery removal How do you remove the battery from the compartment of a 2008 zx10? I have the cables disconnected but can not get the battery out of the housing.

Unhook both battery cables and short them together to discharge the capacitor that fires the air bag. Then you need to get in the passenger compartment and look under the seats for any connections that attach to the seat. Disconnect these. You then need to use tools to remove the bolts that hold the seat frames to the body and remove the seats. If you put in different seats or don't have the same connections as the old ones, you will have SRS errors on the BCM and the airbags and tensioners wont work. When you are done reconnect the battery cables,

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle. Remove the "S" terminal connector from the starter solenoid. Remove the engine harness lead (2) from the starter
Remove the positive battery cable nut (2) from the starter solenoid. Remove the positive battery cable (3) and engine harness terminal (4) from the starter solenoid.
Remove the starter motor bolts. Remove the starter motor.
Has four engines possible in your G6 ,starter removal is simalier for all except one the catalytic converter has to come off.

Now you learned about removing battery cables,
for no reason

Look in your owners manual for the next step you take

After that --you will need to call a dealer or repair shop
& have them look up what --you needed to know
before you ever remove a battery cable

Under the hood just unattache the battery cables if not under the hood look in your trunk

disconnect negative battery cable. Then remove rubber boot on altenator. Remove nut and cable attached. Unplug and remove wire harness also attached to altenator.
Loosen and remove both bolts holding on altenator.
Remove altenator.
Reverse process to reinstall. Pry on belt tensioner with pry bar and socket to loosen belt and place on altenator pulley after it is installed.
Last reattach battery cable and start vehicle.

it may be under the back seat,,buick notorious with that..

Heater Core REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION
Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.
