• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable (TOP POST) on 2003 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: The first step to replace battery positive cable (TOP POST) involves stripping the negative cable from the negative battery post and lifting the positive battery post protective cover. Move on to disconnect the battery positive cable from the positive battery post then free the battery positive cable protector cover at the underhood fuse block. The battery replacement process begins by removing the positive cable from the underhood fuse block positive terminal followed by raising and supporting the vehicle while disconnecting the cable from the Starter. Unfasten the electrical harness conduit wire ties from the engine frame while simultaneously removing the battery positive cable from both conduit and vehicle. You should install the battery positive cable by inserting it into the electrical harness conduit before reattaching the electrical harness conduit wire ties to the engine framework. Fasten the Starter nut that secures the battery positive cable before tightening it to 10nm (89lb in) torque specification and subsequently place the vehicle at a lower position. Anchor in place the nut holding the battery positive cable against the battery positive terminal on the underhood fuse block by torquing it to 15 n.m (11 lb ft). Then add the battery positive cable protector cover to the underhood fuse block. Attach and tighten the positive Battery Cable nut to 6 n.m (53 lb in) while placing protective cover over the positive post prior to reuniting the negative cable to the negative post.
