Default Battery

Hi
When you exchange battery do you have to do anything with it being battery being unhooked. Reset anything etc. Inside car. I watched videos already but it only shows how to remove and install battery.
I have a 2016 c7 corvette stringray z51
Thanks

Before you begin the battery replacement make sure the rear hatch key works, the manual driver's door cable release works, and the manual door release levers on the floor work.

Then - lower both windows so you can reach the manual door releases.

Change the battery, then reindex (reprogram) the windows.

Nope, just replace it and make sure the connections are tight.

You may have to re-index the windows. Leave the windows down when you change the battery so they don't rub the a-pillars when you open the door.

If you have a convertible it is easier to take the battery out, if you remove the carpet first.
