Positive Cable

The first step to disconnect the battery negative cable requires total lamp and accessory shut-off followed by an off position on the ignition key. First free the battery ground negative cable and bolt from its connection to the 4.3l battery. Before installing the battery ground negative cable and bolt onto the battery it's essential to remove existing corrosive material from the battery terminal bolt flange and Battery Cable end. Follow by tightening the battery terminal bolt to 15 n.m (11 lb ft).

Begin Battery Cable work by switching off lamps and accessories while putting the ignition into off position. Detach the negative cable and bolt connecting the battery 4.3l while observing the battery disconnect caution. All prior corrosion needs thorough cleaning from the battery terminal bolt area as well as the Battery Cable end. After positioning the battery ground negative cable and bolt to the battery you must tighten the battery terminal bolt to 15 n.m (11 lb ft).

Experts must begin Battery Cable replacement by disconnecting the negative cable but moving on to separate the positive cable from the battery. Begin the replacement by uninstalling two screws which connect the positive cable to the generator and underhood fuse block respectively. Lift the vehicle while supporting it and remove the nut that holds the positive Battery Cable to the Starter and the positive Battery Cable bolt from the engine compartment. Set the new positive Battery Cable into its appropriate vehicle connections after taking off the battery positive cable. Secure the positive Battery Cable engine nut by twisting it to 6 newton meters (80 pound inch). Attach the positive Battery Cable Starter nut while torquing it to meet 9 n.m (80 lb in). The procedure involves lowering the vehicle then installing the retaining nut onto the generator before tightening it to 17 n.m (13 lb ft). Tighten the underhood fuse block nut which retains the positive Battery Cable to 10 n.m (89 lb in). The positive Battery Cable is connected to the battery followed by tightening the positive terminal bolt to 14 n.m (11 lb ft) while completing the process with the negative Battery Cable connection.

The battery positive cable replacement process requires users to disconnect the negative Battery Cable followed by the positive cable from the battery. Start by disconnecting the bolt holding the positive cable to the underhood fuse block while you also disconnect the nut that attaches it to the generator. First raise and support the vehicle before removing the nut which holds the positive Battery Cable to the Starter and next remove the positive Battery Cable bolt from the engine. After taking off the battery positive cable you should assemble the new positive Battery Cable to the specified vehicle locations. Screw and tighten the engine mount of the positive Battery Cable with a torque of 6 n.m (80 lb in). Tighten the nut engaging the positive Battery Cable with the Starter unit to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Lower the vehicle while installing the nut retaining the positive cable to the generator until tightness reaches 17 n.m (13 lb ft). Screw the underhood fuse block retaining nut for the positive Battery Cable while tightening it to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Use the positive Battery Cable to secure the battery while tightening the positive terminal bolt to 14 n.m (11 lb ft) then apply the negative cable to the battery.

The first step in positive Battery Cable replacement requires disconnecting the negative cable while paying attention to the specific caution regarding battery removal. First disconnect the positive Battery Cable from battery terminals then eliminate the bolt that binds positive Battery Cable with underhood fuse block followed by detaching the nut which secures the positive cable at the generator. Raise your vehicle using appropriate equipment and remove the nut which attaches the positive Battery Cable to the Starter along with the positive Battery Cable bolt from the engine to extract the battery positive cable. The first step of installation requires connecting the positive Battery Cable to the vehicle through the engine while tightening it to 6 n.m (80 lb in). Proceed by mounting the Starter nut for the positive Battery Cable and tighten it to 9 n.m (80 lb in) before lowering the vehicle. To install the positive Battery Cable to the generator, apply 17 n.m (13 lb ft) torque to the nut before torquing the nut for the positive cable at the underhood fuse block to 10 n.m (89 lb in). The last step involves attaching the positive Battery Cable to the battery after tightening the positive terminal bolt to 14 n.m (11 lb ft). Also reconnect the negative Battery Cable to the battery.

Remove the nut retaining the positive battery cable to the starter and the positive battery cable bolt from the engine.

Clean any existing corrosion from the battery terminal bolt flange and the battery cable end.

Secure the negative battery cable bolt to the frame with the same torque of 9 N.m (80 lb in).

Remove the negative battery cable bolt from the frame, the radiator support, and the block.

Lower the vehicle and connect the negative battery cable.

Turn off all lamps and accessories, then ensure the ignition is OFF.

Begin by installing the negative battery cable.
