2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable from the battery to the Underhood Junction Block on 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt?

  A: The replacement of the positive cable between the battery and underhood junction block requires first the removal of negative cable from the battery. First remove the carpet then unlock the positive Battery Cable cover. First disconnect the positive Battery Cable by removing its bolt then unfastening the cable from the battery. The electrical connector of the positive Battery Cable must disconnect from the body harness connector. Move forward to remove the positive Battery Cable clips off their weld studs inside the vehicle. Follow by taking the clips off from Floor Pan and latch bar. The tabs need unfolding to extract the cable from the body clip and drive the weld studs' clips as well as Floor Pan clip out. The body wiring harness clips should be separated from the cable while the grommet should be freed from the dash area front. Under the hood you should remove the junction block cover then take off the junction block nut before detaching the positive Battery Cable terminal which leads to the starter from the stud. Remove the cable both from the body harness clips and from the junction block and extract it from under the junction block. Connect the new positive Battery Cable through the opening located in front of the dash and arrange the installation components within the automobile. Place the cable below the junction block before fixing clip to the junction block and attaching cable to the body wiring harness clip. Fasten the terminal to the stud while ensuring that you tighten junction block nut to 17 nm (13 lb ft). The junction block should get its cover replaced after the grommet is positioned at the dash front facing position followed by cable attachment to body wiring harness clips. The same process must be followed for this cable: connect it to clips and at the Floor Pan side and tighten it to body clip which attaches to the latch bar. Complete the procedure by joining the positive Battery Cable electrical connector with the body harness electrical connector while applying a bolt that should be torqued to 17 nm (13 lb ft). Afterward cover the positive Battery Cable along with re-installing carpet before reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.
