Thanks everyone for your help. I think I know what I’m looking for now. I just need to figure out how to remove the panel. I really do not see a latch, attachment or whatever. Nonetheless, the next time I’m near my car, I’ll try to find the access. Hey! I’ll go to the Chevy dealer tomorrow morning and see if they even know how to access the battery. Maybe I can teach them something... Thanks again for the help! |

you put your fingers in those little indentations, grab and pull on it. That’s all there is to it. And people says it’s small. I don’t think a small ....it’s a perfect way to get to the negative battery cable, which is all you need to disconnect the car. And I don’t see that it’s that hard to take the battery out. Mines been out three or four times. It’s four or five push poppers, that whole panel comes off, and you yank the battery out.
GM does not make this car for the weekend hobbyist to work on. It is a fully integrated car that they never expect you to have to get to the battery. You can jump from the front.Sorry, but that’s the way all cars are made these days. Unless you want to buy some type of kit car. |

It takes me maybe 2 minutes to remove the panel and with a 1/4" drive and a 10mm socket to loosen the negative cable enough to remove it and drop it down to the side of the battery.
Now remember, once you do this to not shut the trunk fully otherwise you will be locked out of the trunk unless you pop the cover off of the drivers side door handle and use the key in your fob to get inside of the car. Then you will need to pull the rear seat down and reach in to pull the manual trunk release. |

Push poppers or trees? I fought tooth and nail because mine were in like the dickens...maybe different on a vert, I can't say, but those babies did not want to come out.. (I was using trim tools and moved to pliers).The plan is to change those suckers out this weekend (storage)
