You have to completely disconnect all grounds from your battery, not just the factory. That's what Mr. Skippy is getting at, in a roundabout way.

Yeah, I like how Mr. Skippy and yourself made it clear what to do. So I'm curious if set ups like this the user has to instruct a mechanic what to do or should you just do it yourself before they mess something up.

I mean I wouldn't think an oil change would warrant this.

I honestly have nooo idea what is being talked about. Just that you said something about informing a mechanic. When I had a shop put my alternator in, I gave them clear precise instruction on which wires to add and to wear. And obviously the wires I provided lol

Yeah I wanted to make sure I understood what was going on and make sure my questions were clear. You have to disconnect everything from the terminal that is grounded otherwise you haven't really removed the connection. Unless something is connected directly and only to the side post it will still be grounded.

What is this about an oil change? What does that have to do with this?

Probably nothing. I'm

Probably nothing. Was just thinking aloud. Thanks for the advice.

I was saying that you should probably disconnect everything (battery terminals like they were saying) before taking it to a mechanic thinking the negative is disconnected like I did. It's nothing though.

No, don't touch it. If they can't figure out how to disconnect a battery, they can either call you or burn your car to the ground. Either one works, they should carry business insurance.
