When replacing cranking battery .....

I have a 2007 Fleetwood Bounder, when replacing the cranking battery is there anything that needs to be done beside taking the old battery out and replacing it with the new battery? I know in my car I had to put in a code to reset it. I'm asking because I replaced my cranking battery and everything is not working right. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Didn't leave the plastic caps on the Battery post did you. Don't ask me how I know that.

You do know about + & - ? Did they give you a batt w/ + & - reversed ?

You should not need to do anything else when changing the battery.

I've never heard of entering a code or doing anything else after replacing a battery. If the vehicle was without power for a while the computer settings will go away but will reset themselves. Odds are you left a wire disconnected.

Every rig is different. Your owner's manual or the chassis manufacturer is your best source for this answer.

That being said, a list of what is not working properly, and what it is doing wrong, would help.
