Negative Cable

The replacement procedure starts with disconnecting the battery negative cable. You must first loosen the battery positive cable nut then remove the battery positive cable from its battery position. First locate and remove the stud cover on the fuse/relay center before taking out the battery positive cable nut while disconnecting the positive lead from its location on the fuse/relay center stud. Remove Battery Cable clips after disconnecting the battery negative cable from its frame rail stud by unfastening the nut. After disconnecting the negative Battery Cable bolt from the right rear cylinder head you should remove the Battery Cable bolt that secures the negative cable as well as the ground pack of the engine harness. Untangle the supercharger followed by the separation of starter jumper wiring from the engine harness connector. Unscrew the positive terminal nut of the Battery Cable then detach the terminals from the starter solenoid. First unscrew the battery positive/starter cable nut and slide the boot toward the generator for disconnecting the cable from the stud. To start replace the positive Battery Cable routing clip bolt alongside removing the battery positive and negative cable assembly. The installation process should begin by connecting the battery positive and negative cable assembly first. The installation of the battery positive and starter cable requires placing its terminal on the generator stud at the 2-4 o'clock position before tightening the terminal nut to 20 nm (15 lb ft). Push the boot onto the stud and the nut before resettling it into position. Attach the positive Battery Cable routing clip bolt into its designated section on the cable retaining clip and secure it at the engine front with 35 nm (26 lb ft) torque setting. Position the engine harness leads on the solenoid beforehand adding the positive cable terminals followed by installer a large nut to 12 nm (106 lb in) and a small nut to 4 nm (35 lb in). The starter jumper wiring harness requires connection to the engine harness connector before supercharger installation. The installation process begins with positioning the battery negative cable along with the engine harness ground pack to the right rear cylinder head before fastening the Battery Cable bolt to its place and tightening the battery negative cable routing clip bolt to 35 nm (26 lb ft). Position the battery negative cable on the frame rail stud before installing the negative Battery Cable to frame rail nut then tighten it to 11 nm (97 lb in). Insert the battery clips afterwards install the positive Battery Cable lead to the fuse/relay center stud followed by the positive Battery Cable nut tightening to 12 nm (106 lb in). The operation involves closing the stud cover followed by connecting the positive Battery Cable to the battery and securing the nut at 8 nm (71 lb in). Subsequently connect the negative Battery Cable.

Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Install the terminal nut and tighten it to 20 N.m (15 lb ft).

Disconnect the battery negative cable from the frame rail stud by removing the battery negative cable to frame rail nut.

Install the cable terminal on the generator stud with the wire positioned between the 2 and 4 o'clock position, then install the terminal nut and tighten it to 20 N.m (15 lb ft).

First disconnect the battery negative cable.
