• Q: How to remove and install the positive battery cable on 2002 Cadillac Seville?

  A: To disconnect the positive battery cable begin by removing the battery negative cable followed by removing the positive cable from the battery itself. Begin by removing the nut on the positive battery cable that attaches to the rear fuse block then continue by dissembling the interior trim moldings then right closeout insulator panel. Proceed by detaching the battery cable retainers located under the rocker panel section and then sever the positive cable connection at the underhood fuse block. Take the battery cable retainer off the rail and let the battery cable grommet slip free from the cowl panel opening. Keep the battery cable taut while extracting it through the cowl panel until it exits from the vehicle completely. The process starts with feeding the battery cable through its designated cowl panel opening after which the user can install the cable grommet by pulling the cable toward the engine compartment. The battery cable retainer should be installed to the rail before connecting the positive battery cable to the underhood fuse block. Tighten the battery cable to remote positive terminal nut to 12 N.m (106 lb in). The battery cable should travel along the rocker panel before cable retainers get installed along with the right closeout insulator panel and the interior trim moldings. Connect the positive battery cable to the rear fuse block while tightening the battery cable to the rear fuse block nut to 15 N.m (11 lb ft). One should join the positive battery cable to the battery followed by a 17 N.m (13 lb ft) torque setting adjustment of the battery cable bolt before attaching the battery negative cable.
