Before working on the battery cables, switch the ignition to Off and make certain no electrical accessories are powered. To work on the negative side of a gasoline engine, begin by isolating the negative terminal (3) of the battery with its cable, then bolt off the connecter (4) in the left front
Fender, unfold and remove all the battery cable routing fasteners and clips and pull out the cable. Following this, disconnect the negative cable at the engine (4) and the left frame rail (6) by removing the bolts, before working on the battery. For a positive-cable engine, release the negative clamp (3) and the positive clamp (1) from their terminals, remove the securing nut (9) and disconnect the connectors (6 and 7) at the TIPM. Once your vehicle is raised, take out the left holder (1) that connects the battery cable, unscrew the nut (5) holding the cable to the starter solenoid (6), drop the vehicle, remove the terminal cap and take out the nut (3) securing the battery cable to the
Alternator (2). For diesel engines, you'll do the same thing: separate the left negative cable, then disconnect and separate (1 and 9) the terminal clamps, take out the bolts (4, 6 and 7) and remove the cable all the way. For the other negative cable, detach the bolt (2) from the front right fender and bolt (4) from the engine to proceed as before. For the positive left cable, disconnect the clamps (1 and 9), take off the nut (8) holding the positive right cable (6) to the left clamp (5), lift the car and remove the stud at the engine and at the starter solenoid before you trace and remove the cable. Once you have the correct positive cable, disconnect the clamps from terminals 1 and 9, remove nut 8 from the right positive battery cable terminal 6, take off the fastener clips 11, release the terminal clamp 13 from alternator 3 and then unscrew nut 7 once you have followed and taken out the cable.
