Periodically inspect the entire length of each battery cable for damage, cracked or burned insulation, and corrosion. Check the cable-to-terminal connections at the ends of the cables for cracks, loose wire strands, and corrosion. Presence of white, fluffy deposits under the insulation at the cable terminal connection indicates corrosion and necessitates cable replacement. Disconnect cables carefully, starting with the negative cable from the negative battery post to avoid shorting the battery. Note cable routing, then disconnect old cables from battery terminals and other ends, tracing them to their lower connections. Smaller ground cables attach to the upper radiator crossmember, while the larger ground cable connects to the transaxle. The positive cable is linked to the starter motor solenoid. Some cables are bundled with tape or cable ties, which must be cut to separate them. Be cautious when cutting electrical tape to avoid damaging wires. Positive cables are usually red and larger, while ground cables are black and smaller. Take old cables when buying replacements to ensure compatibility. Clean threads on the starter solenoid or ground connection with a wire brush, apply corrosion inhibitor or petroleum jelly, and attach the lower cable ends before connecting the positive cable to the battery post. Reattach cables to harnesses, brackets, or clips, and reconnect the ground cable to the negative battery post.
