Equinox LT 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission

ECM located above battery obscuring view of both terminals - BAD DESIGN

ECM located above battery precludes any corrosive gassing of the battery venting properly and possibly a damaged ECM - BAD DESIGN

HEAT SENSOR immediately underneath battery ensures any liquid running off battery cripples connector for this sensor, (It is directly below negative terminal) - BAD DESIGN

Whoever designed this made sure battery replacement would be costly and possibly affect more components!

Labor - $150 Battery - $191 Cable - $110 Total with tax - $492
