Welding Precautions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If welding must be done on a frame, make sure the following requirements are met:
    • If the frame is attached to the vehicle, the battery ground cable must be disconnected before using any electrical welding equipment. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
    • Do not use gas welding equipment.
    • Use a temperature-indicating crayon to make sure that the temperature does not exceed 750°C (1,400°F).
    • Install new spot-welded components by spot welding where possible. If spot welding is not possible, use puddle welding.
