• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable on 2005 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The first step to replace a positive battery cable involves disconnecting the negative cable. Use identical cables with matching type and gauge along with the same length. You should begin by disconnecting the positive battery cable and then remove the ground wire bolt and ground wire from the frame. After that detach the remote positive stud cover. Unfasten the positive cable junction block lead nut and the positive battery cable that resides in the underhood accessory wiring junction block. Raising and supporting the vehicle allows workers to remove the front lower air deflector. The team should first remove the transaxle stud nut and the ground wire from the transaxle stud and then disconnect the positive battery cable nut from the starter motor BAT terminal before removing the positive battery cable at the same terminal. Remove the battery cable harness from retainers (2,3,4) by unclipping the harnesses then extract it from the vehicle. The positive battery cable will be taken out of the wiring harness conduit as the final step. First install the positive battery cable inside the wiring harness conduit before fastening the battery cable harness at retainers (2,3,4). Use the positive battery cable to join the starter motor BAT terminal before tightening it using the positive battery cable nut to 10 N.m (89 lb in). Install the transaxle stud nut first before installing the ground wire then tighten both components to 25 N.m (18 lb ft) then place back the front lower air deflector and lower the vehicle. The positive cable battery needs to be attached to the underhood accessory wiring junction block by using the positive cable junction block lead nut which should be tightened to 10 N.m (89 lb in). Start by reattaching the remote positive stud cover while you proceed to connect the ground wire and frame bolt which must be tightened to 10 N.m (89 lb in). Finally, connect the positive battery cable before tightening the terminal bolt to 15 N.m (11 ft lb) then secure the negative battery cable.
