Hi there, Buick owners. Today, on your 2021 Buick Encore GX, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Roadmaster's battery disconnect switch. And this is what our battery disconnect system looks like when it's installed. You do get a small high-powered solenoid here that will quickly disengage and reengage the battery power that's going from your battery to your vehicle. Oftentimes a lot of flat tow setups, to get your vehicle into a state where it can be pulled behind a motor home, the battery needs to be disconnected. This will allow us to disconnect the battery with just pressing a button that's located inside of our dash. We'll take a look at that in a minute, but it does some more things than that for us. It also gives us an easy way to keep flat tow components that we need powered up while disconnecting the battery from the vehicle 'cause if you don't have something like this when you go to just disconnect the negative side of your post, you've now removed all the grounds on your entire setup and it makes it a lot harder to get like a breaking system to operate properly because of that. So this is gonna simplify things for us. The post here on the left is connected directly to the battery, positive post on our battery. The post on our right is connected directly to the cable that would normally connect to the battery positive on the vehicle but is now connected to our solenoid here. So our solenoid simply takes that battery cable that goes on your battery post, connects it and disconnects it for us. This post here is always gonna be live, cause it's always hooked to the battery. So even when we disconnect our battery with our switch for our flat tow mode, we can hook up all of our breaking system components and anything else, maybe like a charge line, anything that we need to have powered up for our flat tow setup, we can connect right here. So it's, that's really kind of, to me why it's got a lot of value, is that not only is it a quick way to disconnect the battery for flat towing, but it really makes your installation process a whole lot easier, simplifies it, and it, to me it's just gonna give you the best satisfaction for a flat tow setup. Let's head inside and take a look at the button. So here we are in the vehicle. This is the button for our battery disconnect. It's got a nice chrome button, blends in pretty much with any color due to being chrome. It's pretty flush, so it doesn't stick out very far and you can install it really wherever you've got enough space for the button to fit as long as you got area behind it. The button does extend in maybe about an inch, so you wanna probably have about an inch clearance behind it to make your connections and mount your button up. It's a nice, smooth momentary switch. So we'll push the button. It'll go in and out and it'll activate. Currently, we've got our vehicle powered up. The lights are on. You can kind of see that if we scroll up a little here, there's a light lit up right here on the button here. So I'm gonna go ahead and hit this. And we've lost all power to the vehicle. All of our lights turned out. If we press the button once again, that'll reengage the battery, putting us back into a state where we can drive it. We can hear the components start to energize and everything's up and running. So you can see how quick and easy that is. No longer do you need to pop your hood head under there and start to disconnect stuff. And I hope that your flat tow's all gonna be successful this way. You're in a lot, you have a lot of control over everything and the how you've got your powers and grounds all hooked up, and you've got just a simplified process with the button. We'll begin our installation here under the hood. We need to get our solenoid mounted up. So here's the solenoid that comes in your kit. It's got these little ears that hang off the side and you do get some different fasteners. You got some options, whether you want to nut and bolt it or use self-tapping screws. We opted to just use the self-tapping screws that it came with. A 10 millimeter socket, and then we can just run these directly into place here. Just zip, zip right into here. And this is a pretty good spot right here. It's kind of next to your battery. So it's close by. So our cables are gonna reach and there's a pretty big opening clearing here. So that way
