DavDona Report post Posted August 13, 2012 Well, thanks to all of your help, after I posted asking about 4 down or dolly towing, we have decided on 4 down. That said, I'm looking to purchase a 2006 Ford Focus, 2 dr, hatch back as the toad. It is a five speed, manual transmission with little in the way of extras. I know that the car can be towed 4-down by placing the transmission in neutral, and that it has unlimited distance to be towed, no speed restrictions. However, the ignition key will have to be turned on to unlock the steering wheel, which raises the question . . . "Do I have to take a battery cable off, or pull a fuze to insure the battery doesn't go flat while being towed? If a fuse, which one?" I found an owners manual on line, but it did not provide this information. Again, thanks to everyone who help with the dolly/4-down issue. DavDona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitehawk Report post Posted August 13, 2012 Battery under the hood? Easily accessible? Buy a disconnect that mounts on the negative post. The negative cable connects to the post on the disconnect. Turn the disconnect knob counterclockwise to disconnect and clockwise to connect. No sparking, No loose parts. Disconnect available at most auto parts stores.
