Do I need to disconnect Battery before I remove MAF?

For safety reason, you should. But actually, I don't and I don't get any issue with that.

If the MAF is giving you a check light on the dash from being dirty than yes I would disconnect to reset the ECU. Other than that it depends on the make and model whether it's recommended. Disconnecting could never hurt though.

Although not critical, most manufacturers highly recommend disconnecting the battery before removing/connecting MAF sensors. Failure to do so may introduce a spurious voltage spike into this sensitive device, thus maybe damaging/destroying it.

It's generaly a good practice to disconnect the battery before any electrical work (unless required for testing)

in the picture, see those little red and black eyelet attachments? They bolt onto your battery and lead to a small plug, so that you can easily plug/unplug the device each time you park. however if you are looking for a 'quick fix' you can use the clamp attachments which do not require unscrewing the battery, but arent 'permanently installed' on the battery and should be removed before you drive the car. All this info is the same for a motorcycle. I use mine on a motorcycle

Its just to make it easy to pull the battery out once it has been installed. Suggest you leave it on the battery so you can get the battery out when it needs replacing.

No. It's not necessary to remove it. The ignition resistor wire (or actual resistor in some older cars) reduces the voltage to the points while running through the "on" position to increase their life. No more points and that resistance isn't necessary, but this unit works great without you having to make that change.

The answer is yes, you will remove your FICM (fuel injection control module) from the drivers side valve cover. You should disconnect both batteries first, once you have it off the vehicle you will find a small cover on top of the unit remove the cover, once you have the cover off you will find nuts underneath they must be removed in order to separate the top and bottom of the shell after removing the perimeter screws. The two halves can be difficult sometimes even with all the screws removed. Once you have the two halves apart you will need to free the control board from the unit.

Don't have to remove the battery if you want to just plug it in while at home to make sure it is charged when you are on the go. i don't think removing the battery would help persevere it.

There is a little paper strip that you need to remove. It saves battery life until it's ready to be used.

I seem to remember removing a small thin clear plastic strip that has to be pulled out from the light before the battery can make contact.

There's a small plastic tab between the batteries and the contacts. Pull that out.

Once you have removed the battery's housing, you just pull the tips of the wiring attached to the battery. I hope this helps.

No you program the vehicle and then remove it...when you no longer want it you plug it back in remove the program and and then disconnect it...Nothing gets permanently mounted.....

Pop off the front plastic cover. There might be one screw holding the batteries in behind a plate. Once removed, there is an electrical connector that needs to be disconnected. The batteries should slide out just by pulling on them. If they don't budge, they might be bulged. In that case, you would need to disassemble the chassis some more.

You could unscrew the bottom and disconnect the battery for a minute. I haven't done that with this product, but if you are handy, you should be fine unless the stupid battery is soldered directly to something. It should have a plug but I wouldn't know.

It depends on your make of car. On my 2006 Mini and the wives 2008 VW Rabbit the power to the 12volt plug is cut completely when the ignition is off. The device powers up once the ignition is started. Therefore you have no need to add a kill switch. On older cars or other makes they might not kill the power to the adapter when the ignition is off, so unplugging it (although inconvenient) is the best way to go to keep your battery healthy.

Very easy! Just unplugs and slides out. I have 4 batteries that I use when I go fly - takes 30 seconds to swap them out.

Since you're disconnecting the air bag, you should disconnect the battery NEGATIVE terminal first. If you can replace a disc drive or a hard drive you've got it made. Two covers and screws (just above steering column) removes airbag then two screws each for buttons. The cable disconnects should be studied first, a small flat blade is needed on one side before pulling. The harness routing was tricky for my huge hands. Reassemble and cruise.

Disconnect your battery cable for about 30 seconds and reconnect it then drive normally. Hopefully the light will stay out and depending on your car type it may not have to do too much re-learning. Check your manual first to see what it says you have to re-set after a dead battery.
