Can someone please post the pages of the service manual for the battery removal. I misplaced my CD after I moved my office. Check out the quality of the workmanship of this car.

I don't think there is a choice. They now only carry smaller, lighter batteries and the tray has to replaced so it fits.

Did you see the Schmee you tube video about shipping his car to the USA? They pulled the battery out through the headlight space. Worth a watch.

| SSM 50693 2017-2021 - Ford GT - Replacement Battery Design Change Requires A Different Battery Tray And LIN Connector - Built On Or Before 22-Sep-2021 |
| Some 2017-2021 Ford GT vehicles built on or before 22-Sep-2021 may need to have a new battery installed for service. A new design service battery has been released and requires a different battery tray and a different local interconnect network (LIN) connector. This is due to the new battery being smaller and will not properly secure in the original battery tray. The LIN connector socket in the new battery is keyed differently and the original LIN connector will not plug in. The LIN connector will need to be de-pinned, so the new connector shell can be installed. When installing new battery part number: MG7Z-10655-A(USA/MEX), MG7Z-10655-B(CAN), MG7Z-10655-C(GCC) MG7Z-10655-D(EU), the following battery tray and LIN connector must be used: battery tray MG7Z-10732-A, LIN connector shell MG7Z-9A624-A. Refer to Workshop Manual, |

Lithium ion batteries are not cheap. Currently with all the the other parts needed its around $3,500.00. I dont know of any other aftermarket places to buy these parts. Hope that helps.

Explanation above “ new battery installed for services”. Does this mean if we have older larger battery, even if it is functioning fine , we will need to replace it for servicing? ie, dealer accessing the electronics?

It just means if you need to replace your battery the older style is no longer available and will need to be updated to the new battery with updated tray and lin connector. Hope this helps.

^^ This makes me glad I'm keeping my 2005 GT, where a battery is just a battery and anyone can replace it.

I love them both.....the problem with the older GT's is parts are becoming obsolete and are going to be hard to find. I have been trying to stock some of the parts but finding it very challenging to obtain them at time.

My initial thought was my battery was weak because the electronics would boot up, but when I applied the brake and pushed the start button, all I got was a short hum and a thunk. I load tested the battery and it tested good. I then tried to jump the car. Still not starting, so I’m thinking it’s something else. The battery in the key fob is new. I tried both procedures in the owners manual (placing the key fob under the rubber console mat and also depressing both the brake and accelerator pedals while attempting to start). The warning in the picture below flashes intermittently for a split second and disappears. It happened so quick that I had to take a video and grab a screenshot. It doesn’t flash the warning all the time. Due to the cost of the battery, new tray, etc., I don’t want to replace the parts unnecessarily. If the battery was bad, it should have started while being jumped. Any ideas?

If this were the old GT, we all know the answer would be “check your ground”. Suppose that is the case here?

There were a string of cars that had some ignition board fault and wouldn't let the car start. Seems like they were K models. Simply replace the board and problem solved.
Once again a good question for Italian Joe.

Paul, mine had a intermittent no crank but had hill assist warning and no miles displayed on the cluster. It was a relay in the distribution box back at the engine compartment. Diagnosed and repaired myself.
