    Thank you. The bracket is where I had trouble. I had to replace the battery at night and for the life of me couldn't find the bracket holes.

    He should have used a battery memory saver? That's as simple as 2 alligator clips a couple pieces of wire and a small 9 Volt battery; so it can hold a trickle charge on some of the electronics!

    Thanks... your vid helped tons. You should note in the comments to use an extended 10mm driver... the drivers that came with the ratchet set is too short to reach the nut on top of the battery bracket

    @kaisenji... For your 2017 Forester.. what else resetted besides the window and radio preset stations? I have to change the battery which is no problem but have no idea what else would reset... Did you have a battery management system? Where you had to program the battery settings into the car computer?

    What if the original 550 cc battery is replaced by another 650 cc battery in the Subaru Impreza or Ascent from 2019 to 2021 ? thank you

    I just changed mine on my 08 Impreza WRX. I was worried if I needed to keep a small amount of power for the ecu, like some newer cars where they recommend you connect an small power source to keep your ecu or other electronic parts that need constant power from either reseting or shutting off completely.

    You don't need the supplemental power, at least you won't have any problems without it. In my experience the ECU, etc won't be affected. Most often the clock and radio stations may be lost but it's usually fairly minimal. Thank you for watching and please subscribe. Best wishes.

    mine is also 14, I'm curious, do you change it due to time interval or the battery needed to be replaced?

    Mine actually died, gave me a couple of warnings first where it was suddenly hard to start but sadly it just failed. Should have lasted longer in my opinion but at least a factory battery was only $125 which is pretty low compared to other brands I have owned. Thank you for watching.

    Not sure about that, you probab;ly can but it may not need it. Might depend on the battery.

    My 2013 Forester did not start on the first try. It spun the motor but no spark. Cranked it a second time after about five seconds, fired up after a longer crank. Third time it starts normal. I was told the electronic's need to re remind themselves that it is an engine! 😂

    If it still goes up and down but its the auto fucntion that doesn't work. Put the window all the way up and hold the window UP button for 5 seconds. Then try the window again.

One-touch auto up/down function . Anti-entrapment function Initialize the power window in the following procedure to reactivate such functions. 1. Close the driver’s door. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. 3. Open the driver’s side window halfway by pushing down the power window switch. 4. Pull up the power window switch and close the window completely.

    Changed the battery on my sons 2012 Impeza. After installing new battery, several warning lights appeared including the check engine light. The car started but is undrivable due some kind of transmission sensor? Any suggestions?

    I would try disconnecting the battery, wait 15 minutes and reconnect it. It may help reset it. Let me know how it goes.
