2001 Cadillac Eldorado Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable on 2001 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: For replacing the positive cable you should select identical replacement cables that have the same original type as well as diameter and length and maintain the same cable routing. Proceed with the battery negative cable removal before you detach the Intake Manifold. You must start by taking the battery positive cable away from both the Starter and battery devices and afterward you must remove the bolt holding the cable harness retainer in position to the body rail. Break the connection of the cable harness clip at the camshaft cover before taking out the engine splash shield. Next move on to remove the generator output bat terminal nut and pull out the battery positive lead from the generator. Before taking out the battery positive cable from the vehicle you must first disconnect the positive Battery Cable from the underhood fuse block using the battery positive cable along with removing the bolts that attach cable harness clips to the engine frame. You need to install the positive terminal along the engine frame cable harness clips then securely fasten these retaining bolts to 8 n.m (53 lb in). You should tighten the nut on the base fuse block connection of the battery positive cable up to 11 n.m (97 lb in) torque value. Fasten the generator output bat terminal nut by torquing it to 12.5 n.m (111 lb in). Attach the cable harness clip to the camshaft cover and install its bolt before tightening it to 6 n.m (53 lb in). First tighten the 17 n.m (13 lb ft) battery positive cable to the battery before tightening its end to the Starter at 10 n.m (89 lb ft). The completion of work requires installing the Intake Manifold and reconnecting the battery negative cable.
