Installing the battery cover on a 2014 Malibu is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few minutes. The battery cover is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment, and it is held in place by two bolts. To remove the battery cover, simply loosen the bolts and lift the cover off.
Once the battery cover is removed, you will need to disconnect the negative battery terminal. This is done by loosening the nut that holds the terminal in place and then pulling the terminal off of the battery post. Once the negative terminal is disconnected, you can remove the battery.
