2003 Cadillac Seville Battery Cable Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to remove and install the positive battery cable on 2003 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Once you disconnect the battery negative cable you can proceed to unbolt the positive battery cable from its battery position. Begin removing the positive cable nut connected to the fuse block at the rear and followed by disassembly of interior trims and right interior panel. Combining the following steps to detach the positive battery cable begins with removing battery cable retainers from the rocker panel area before disconnecting the positive battery cable from the underhood fuse block. The rail needs to have its battery cable retainer removed before the battery cable grommet can be freed off the cowl panel. A careful extraction of the battery cable must be performed through the cowl panel before removing it from the vehicle body. To install the battery cable you should feed it through the cowl panel opening before pulling the cable grommet into the engine compartment position. Fitting the battery cable retainer to its rail allows you to join the positive battery cable to the underhood fuse block while torquing the battery cable to remote positive terminal nut to 12 N.m (106 lb in). Run the battery cable along the rocker panel while installing cable retainers and position the right closeout insulator panel followed by the interior trim moldings. To complete the installation sequence start by attaching the positive battery cable to the underhood fuse block then tighten the battery cable to remote positive terminal nut at 12 N.m (106 lb in). The next step is to attach the cable to the rear fuse block where the negative terminal hole should be tightened to 15 N.m (11 lb ft). The final step is to secure the positive cable at the battery while tightening the battery cable bolt to 17 N.m (13 lb ft) before adding the negative battery cable.
