I need to replace the battery - opened the battery cover behind the front passenger seat - it is not a typical nut and bolt cable leads on the battery. There is a nut that has to be unscrewed and then the clamp is somehow "attached" to the battery posts. Is there anything that I need to be aware of before I attempt to take the leads off of the post. I gave a small attempt, but it was getting dark and I didn't have portable lighting available - so I put everything back together. I have never seen anything like that.

That is just the battery voltage sensor it just unplugs, before you begin the work please wear gloves and eye protection. Here are the instructions on how to change the battery out out how to disconnect the sensor in the images below. There are no memory relearns to do with this application. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
