Aloha,

My Montana died at the grocery store and I need to change the battery (I think) but it is hidden under what looks to be the fuse box. I'm able to change car batterys but I've never seen one under anything. How do I replace it?

Thanks,
Jenny

you have to remove the round bar looking thing. two bolts in front one back by hood hinge. the round bar slides out of the relay box. the relay box lays over toward the motor. there is a hold down on the backside of the battery at the bottom. then take posts bolts out. remove the battery put new one in put the hold down back in hook posts up lay the relay box back put the round bar back thru it put bolts in it and tighten everything back up and you are set.
