• Q: How to disconnect and connect the negative battery cable on 2005 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: Before removing or reattaching the negative Battery Cable employees must note radio stations and switch off accessories while keeping the ignition switch positioned at off. The first step involves disconnecting the powertrain control module (PCM) wire harness from the battery box cover before removing the pcm bracket with pcm from the top of the battery box cover. Proceed to carefully position it out of the way. To access the battery box you must first remove screws from the cover then take off the battery box itself. Under the next step remove the negative Battery Cable from the battery after loosening its terminal bolt. The installation process starts with connecting the battery negative cable to the battery while tightening its terminal bolt to 17 n.m (13 lb ft). Make sure to wipe away all corrosion that might exist on both the battery terminal bolt flange and Battery Cable end before continuing. Replace the battery box cover by securing its screws at 2 n.m (18 lb in torque). The installation includes reconnecting the pcm and bracket to the battery box cover while also connecting the pcm wire harness to this cover. The process finishes with programming the radio station presets and setting the radio clock to the current time.
