Battery Tray: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION





The battery (5) is mounted in a molded plastic battery tray and support unit (7) located in the left front corner of the engine compartment. The battery tray and support unit is secured at the rear with a nut to a stud on the front frame rail, at the outboard side with two screws fastened to the left side inner fender panel, and at the front with a screw on a bracket off the radiator support.





The battery tray for this vehicle is unique in that it has a built-in hold down bracket molded into the tray assembly. This bracket retains the hold down after the bolt is removed. With the bolt removed the hold down can slide up and forward in the bracket slots freeing the battery from the tray.
