Set the new positive Battery Cable into its appropriate vehicle connections after taking off the battery positive cable. Secure the positive Battery Cable engine nut by twisting it to 6 newton meters (80 pound inch). Attach the positive Battery Cable Starter nut while torquing it to meet 9 n.m (80 lb in). The procedure involves lowering the vehicle then installing the retaining nut onto the generator before tightening it to 17 n.m (13 lb ft). Tighten the underhood fuse block nut which retains the positive Battery Cable to 10 n.m (89 lb in). The positive Battery Cable is connected to the battery followed by tightening the positive terminal bolt to 14 n.m (11 lb ft) while completing the process with the negative Battery Cable connection.
Q: How to Replace a Battery Cable on Chevrolet Tahoe?
A: You should start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable before replacing it. First remove the outlet duct from the air cleaner before disconnecting the electrical connector which controls the battery current from the sensor. For vehicles with a battery current sensor installed you must first remove the clip that secures the sensor to the battery tray. The negative Battery Cable stud must be removed first from the front of the right cylinder head before taking out the negative Battery Cable terminal that connects to the cylinder head. Turn your wheels in a controlled manner while sustaining the vehicle elevation then extract the ground bolt which anchors the forward lamp wiring harness and separate the harness terminal which connects to the frame. Cut the negative Battery Cable terminal through the radiator support and frame opening. Then remove the negative Battery Cable clip from the chassis harness.

To begin installations or if the negative Battery Cable needs replacement the user must first disconnect the vehicle negative Battery Cable and if performing a battery current sensor replacement this step must be completed as well. Installation requires installation of the battery current sensor only when the negative Battery Cable was replaced. Place the engine harness terminal behind the vehicle's negative battery terminal before installing the negative Battery Cable. Position the negative Battery Cable terminal at the cylinder head location while installing its stud to the front of the right cylinder head with torque to 25 nm (18 lb ft). Before lifting the vehicle secure the negative Battery Cable clip to the right wheelhouse liner and proceed with installation of the clip to the chassis harness. The negative Battery Cable terminal should pass behind the forward lamp harness as you guide it through the radiator support and frame opening. Bolt the forward lamp wiring harness terminal onto the frame while ensuring the anti-rotation tab enters the frame hole. Tighten the forward lamp wiring harness ground bolt to 25 nm (18 lb ft). Set the vehicle to its base position while you attach the battery current sensor clip to the battery tray if equipped and join the engine harness electrical connector to the battery current sensor. The air cleaner outlet duct goes on next followed by connecting the negative Battery Cable.
