We have a 2016 View. Can someone tell me how to disconnect the chassis battery? It’s to the right of the gas pedal. Do you push, pull, turn or what?
Thanks
On a MB Sprinter ? see if this helps. I have never done mine but saw someone on a video do it, it took a bit of force..
1 Remove the key from the ignition lock and
wait for about 20 seconds.
2 Press and hold button ; and unplug connector : in the direction of the arrow from
the earth pin.
3 Clamp connector : under the accelerator
pedal so that it cannot make contact with
the earth pin.
Hold red “button” on top of disconnect in.. pull out, away from “doghouse”.. first time was a difficult pull..
You are discovering the battery ground, if the cable is too snug, there is a lot of slack in the battery box.. pull the floor mat and loosen the battery cover.. pull a half inch of inch of slack out of the battery box and retighten .. replace mat..
My 2018 View 24J with 2017 M-B cab chassis has the same diagram, but recommends waiting at least 5 minutes before disconnecting the battery. Exact words from the manual are:
Remove the key from the ignition lock and wait for at least five minutes.
- Press button 2 in the direction of the arrow and hold.
- Pull connector 1 from the ground pin.
- Push connector 1 as far to the side as possible so that it cannot make contact with the ground pin.
All starter battery consumers are disconnected from the power supply.
To reconnect:
- Insert the key into the ignition lock.
- Press connector 1 onto ground pin 2 until
you feel it engage and the lock inhibitor is released.
Connector 1 must be in full contact with ground pin 2.
All consumers are reconnected to the DC power supply.
Might be a good idea to check the manual that came with your rig and/or talk to a M-B tech.
