How long can I safely disconnect the battery on a 2001 without worrying about the computer or other things that need constant power?
Thanks guys(and gals?)

 

for as long as you want

 

guesstimate - 30 seconds
they won't be damaged but radio stations might need resetting and the engine managment will reset it self- both harmless

 

Thanks again guys(and gals?) I keep putting off replacing my intrument lamps for fear of doing more harm than good.

 

LOL one reply: "for as long as you want"
the second: "30 seconds"

thats a big difference. but, i know the answer is "as long as you want"

 

I think what Neil meant was that if you only disconnect your battery for 30seconds or less you wont lose any of your preset radio stations, etc etc.

Zach was saying that you can indefinitely take out your battery and it will not screw up your truck.


But yes, you can disconnect your battery for as long as you want and all that will happen is you'll need to reset your radio stations

 

OH GOD...NEVER REMOVE THE BATTERY!!!!!!!


WHAT ARE YOU THINKING????!!!!!


.....it does nothing. If you can handle reprogramming your clock and radio stations....you're good to go.

 

haha ive had it off for a whole day and didnt need to reset my stations.... just the clock
haha sucks to be you

 

2007 , is it the same as in doesn't matter how long its disconnected no code required to reset radio , thanks
