I’m trying to replace the battery in my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I’m completely lost. I’ve popped the hood and checked everywhere, but no luck. I swear I remember seeing a video about the battery being in a weird spot in these models. Any idea where it’s actually located? I’m starting to think it’s playing hide-and-seek with me.
The battery in your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is actually hidden under the front passenger side fender. To access it, slide the passenger seat forward, remove the cover under the seat, and then disconnect the battery terminals and bracket. Swap out the old battery for the new one, reconnect everything, and you should be good to go. Here is a video.
I recently went through the same struggle with my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I popped the hood and looked everywhere, thinking the battery was just hiding from me. Turns out, the battery is actually located under the passenger seat. You have to move the seat all the way back to get to it. It’s definitely not in the most obvious spot, but once you know where to look, it’s not too bad. Just make sure to follow the proper steps for safety when handling it.
I’ve been in the same boat with my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I remember getting frustrated too because the battery is indeed in an unusual spot. It’s actually located in the passenger side of the engine bay, behind the front bumper, and you might need to remove the air filter box and some plastic covers to access it. The placement is a bit tricky, but once you get those out of the way, you should be able to see and replace the battery. Make sure to disconnect the negative terminal first for safety.
