I joined the RAC so I wouldn’t have to manhandle the 22” spare if I had a puncture (actually used ‘em once - worked a treat) I’d like to do a battery reset (disconnect) to try and fix something but the battery is under the spare is there another way or will I have to get the spare out? Geoff |

the WM says to take the spare out and then disconnect the negative cable....remember to turn the steering wheel fully left and then right with the engine running when you reconnect.. ... - .- -.

There's a lifter you can buy for the spare if you don't already have one -

It resets the steering angle sensor, after such things as a battery disconnect, having wheels off the ground during work etc. See the below

The video is an older model but it wouldn’t be the first time the WM was subject to a “cut and paste” error.

Ooopppsss, sorry folks, when I posted the video about the steering angle sensor reset, I did not notice that Supershuttle's car was not an old lump like mine.
