2005 Cadillac XLR Battery Cable Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable on 2005 Cadillac XLR?

  A: Users need to begin by unlinking the negative Battery Cable from the battery and afterward disconnecting the positive Battery Cable from the battery terminal. Use the stud cover to access the fuse/relay center and disconnect from it first the positive Battery Cable nut from its study and then the positive Battery Cable lead from the matching study. Secondly you disconnect the starter jumper wiring harness from the engine harness connector while also removing Battery Cable clips along with the Intake Manifold. Fasten the Starter Solenoid and front suspension crossmember by removing their respective positive Battery Cable terminal nut along with the terminals. Dock the generator end of the battery positive/starter cable by moving the boot upwards on the cable then unthreading the battery positive/starter cable nut while finally extracting the battery positive/starter cable terminal from the stud. Twist off the bolt keeping the cable and clip attached to the engine front before taking off the positive Battery Cable. The first step of cable installation involves fitting the cable terminal onto the generator stud between its 2 and 4 o'clock position before tightening the terminal nut to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Place the boot over the stud and nut before using a bolt to fix the cable retaining clip to the front of the engine while securing it with a torque of 35 n.m (26 lb ft). The large and small Starter Solenoid nuts require 10 n.m (89 lb in) and 4 n.m (35 lb in) torque while installing the positive Battery Cable terminal. Position the engine harness leads on the solenoid in front of installing the positive cable terminal. Insert the battery clips before hooking up the positive Battery Cable lead to the fuse/relay center stud then secure the positive Battery Cable nut to the fuse/relay center stud at 10 n.m (89 lb in). Close the stud cover of the fuse/relay center, install the positive Battery Cable to the battery while tightening it to 8 n.m (71 lb in), and complete this procedure with the negative Battery Cable.
