2002 Chevrolet Corvette Battery Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable on 2002 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The replacement of the positive Battery Cable requires following these steps: remove the battery tray while opening the stud cover at the fuse/relay center where you detach the positive Battery Cable nut connected to the fuse/relay center stud. Detach the positive Battery Cable lead from the fuse/relay center stud followed by heat shield retainer removal at the upper plenum and extraction of battery heat shield retainer and the battery heat shield. Start with wire removal of the right rear spark plug followed by the clips and cables of the battery from the engine wiring harness insulator. Rise the vehicle properly then remove the Starter Solenoid positive cable terminal nut and terminals (3, 4) before lowering the vehicle to detach the positive Battery Cable. The first step during installation requires positive Battery Cable installation followed by vehicle elevation. The installation of the positively charged cable terminal requires proper placement of engine harness connectors (3, 4) on the solenoid. Install the positive Battery Cable terminals (3, 4) onto the Starter Solenoid with its nut set to 8 n.m (71 lb in). The battery cables should be installed to the engine wiring harness insulator before installing the Battery Cable clips and the right rear spark plug wire. Install the heat shield by placing two fingers of the bracket at both sides of the shield while inserting the shield into the insulator notch. Place the heat shield retainer onto both positions at the wheelhouse panel and the upper plenum. Secure the positive Battery Cable lead to the fuse/relay center stud and proceed with the positive Battery Cable nut installation by tightening it to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Finish by covering the stud opening of the fuse/relay center and replace the battery tray.
