2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Battery Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to properly replace battery cables on 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: The installation of new cables for battery connections requires matching both types and gauges and lengths. Start with removing the negative battery cable from the battery then disconnect the positive cable. The initial step is to remove the remote positive stud cover and after that unfasten the battery positive cable junction block lead nut to detach the cable from the underhood accessory wiring junction block. First raise and support the vehicle before taking off the positive battery cable nut then detaching the cable from the starter motor BAT terminal. Disconnect the battery cable harness from its position at the retaining points (2,3,4) before withdrawing the positive battery cable from the wiring harness conduit. Install the positive battery cable by fitting it through the wiring harness conduit then fasten the battery cable harness to retainers (2,3,4). Fasten the positive battery cable at the starter motor BAT terminal while securing the terminal nut with a torque of 10 N.m (89 lb in). Connect the positive battery cable along with the positive battery cable junction block lead nut to the underhood accessory wiring junction block while keeping the lead nut tightened at 15 N.m (11 lb ft). Remount the remote positive stud cover then attach the positive battery cable to the battery while ensuring proper torque of 15 N.m (11 lb ft) on the terminal bolt. Complete the procedure by attaching the negative battery cable to the battery.
