Disconnecting battery for service - engine or cargo?
Hi There,

I'm chaging out the door handle carrier, and first step is to disconnect battery cause of airbag. Can I disconnect the B+ terminal in the engine bay, or should I disconnect the battery from cargo area under spare?

The bentley manual isn't quite clear.

Thanks,
Newb DIY'er

Just to be safe, I'd say cargo area.

Good luck!
