• Q: How to remove and install the positive battery cable on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: The process starts with removing the negative Battery Cable from the battery then continuing with the Intake Manifold removal. The Starter battery disconnect procedure starts with the Starter Battery Cable removal followed by disconnecting positive cables to both the Starter and battery. The procedure ends with removing the bolt which connects the cable harness retainer to the body rail and air deflector. Proceed by unfastening the cable harness clip from the camshaft cover followed by disconnection of the positive Battery Cable from the generator. The technician must remove bolts securing cable harness clips onto the engine frame while disconnecting the positive Battery Cable from underhood fuse block and then safely remove the positive Battery Cable from the vehicle. Install the positive Battery Cable into cable harness clips secured on the engine frame while tightening the cable harness clip retaining bolts to 6 n.m (53 lb in). Start by connecting and tightening the positive Battery Cable to the underhood fuse block using 11 n.m (97 lb in) torque value. Next, connect the positive Battery Cable to the generator and finish it with a tightening torque of 12 n.m (106 lb in). Begin with the air deflector installation while connecting the cable harness clip to the camshaft cover and completing the bolt attachment of the cable harness retainer to the body rail by securing it at 6 n.m (53 lb in). First install the positive Battery Cable on the battery before tightening it to 17 n.m and then move the Battery Cable to the Starter for a 8 n.m (71 lb ft) tightness before adding the Intake Manifold and completing with the negative cable battery connection.
