Need to remove an Amp!!

[zishan03]

Hi Guys,

Tomorrow I am planning on removing a amplifier from my boot. All the cabling and interior wiring is not a problem. I need help on disconnecting the battery. I know there is problems with rear sam's etc having problems upon reconnection so could anyone offer any pointers? I know the basics of removing the positive first and then the negative but anything past that on a merc I am not sure.

Thanks in advance.

If it is a 203, is it not possible to remove the fuses and then remove the amps

Actually the official guide is to remove the ground cable first

At least I do it this way because when removing the ground cable, you may accidentally touch grounded parts with your tools, but that is no problem for the ground pole while it would be for the positive one. Once the ground is detached and safely away, there is no damage if the same happens when detaching the positive wire.

I'm not sure if removing the amp fuse would actually be enough. In any case, you would just need to normalise a few things once the battery has been put back, like windows and sun roof.

Edited: I was obviously slow with my response, Television already covered the fuses.

The only reason why you take off the neg first is so that the spanner cant do any harm if it touches the metal parts.

There is no electronic reason. When refitting It is any sparking that causes spike problems. If they could be soft connected then they would always be OK

The main power wire has a fuse in it but is connected from one of the power terminals near the battery itself so I dont really want to leave the other half of the wire loose in the engine bay.

Thanks for the help guys, I will probably do this some time this evening.
