Question 1

How to Properly Install Battery Cables on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Accepted Answer

Before you attach the battery cables, remove the dust from the battery clamps and the battery terminal with a soft cloth. Insert the battery cable group into the vehicle and raise the whole vehicle with a hoist. Attach the wires for the battery wire harness (7) and (9) to the engine block and then join the battery connector wire (2) to the starter solenoid. Fasten the positive side of the battery cable eyelet terminal (3) to the starter solenoid's B(+) stud and secure it with nut (4) at 11 Nm (95 in lbs.) of torque. After that, build up the torque on bolt (5) which will fasten the battery negative cable ground eyelet terminal (6) to the engine block (10) to 11 Nm (95 in. lbs.). After putting in the battery wire harness retaining clips under the 6.1L engine, remove the vehicle. When the battery wire harness retaining clips (2) are included, put them in place on the valve cover studs for 5.7L engines. Attach the battery wire harness connector (6) to the generator field terminal connector receptacle on the back of the generator. For both 5.7L and 6.1L engines, place the generator output cable eyelet terminal (4) onto the generator output terminal stud and secure with nut (5). Tighten with 14 Nm (125 in. lbs.) force. For 3.7L and 4.7L engines, reattach the battery wire connector (8) to the generator field terminal connector receptacle and then connect the generator output cable eyelet (7) to the generator output terminal stud and tighten with nut (6) to 14 Nm (125 in. lbs.). Attach the battery wire harness retaining clip (9) to its location stud on the valve cover and insert the three pin connector (11) into the battery tray (12). Attach both battery positive cable eyelets to the B(+) terminal studs inside the PDC and IPM and fasten them with nuts snapped into place at 11.5 Nm (105 in. lbs.). Seal the tubes tightly by closing and locking the PDC (1) and IPM (2). Secure the battery negative cable eyelet terminal (2) on the inner fender (3) with screw (1) to 28 Nm (20.5 ft. lbs.). Put the battery positive cable terminal clamp (4) over the battery's positive terminal post, then tighten its clamp pinch-bolt hex nut to 5.5 Nm (50 in. lbs.) and cover the clamp under the battery. The battery negative cable should also be connected and the terminal clamp pinch-bolt hex nut tightened to 5.5 Nm (50 in. lbs.). Apply a little petroleum jelly or grease to all the exposed parts of the clamps and battery terminals.

Question 2

How to Service Battery Cables in a Wire Harness on Jeep Wrangler?

Accepted Answer

All servicing for the battery negative cable and battery positive cable happens in the battery wire harness, so if any cable becomes faulty, the whole unit has to be replaced. Always place the vehicle's ignition in Off and be sure all electrical features are switched off before removing cables. Loose and later take off the pinch-bolt hex nut of the battery negative terminal clamp before using a puller to unclip the terminal clamp from the negative terminal post. Put the same process in place for the battery's positive cable. Following this, lift the cover from the B(+) stud on the PDC in the rear and pull off the two nuts that hold down the battery positive cable and generator output on the B(+) studs. Withdraw the batteries positive cable and generator output eyelet terminal and then take out the screw holding the battery negative cable eyelet terminal to the dash near the battery. Open the cover over the generator output terminal stud and unscrew the nut attached to the generator output eyelet terminal. First, loosen and pull the generator eyelet terminal, then take out the nut securing the battery negative cable ground eyelet terminal to the engine block's stud on the right side and finally remove the ground eyelet terminal. After that, take out the nut securing the battery positive cable eyelet terminal to the B(+) terminal stud on the starter solenoid and remove the eyelet terminal. After that, disconnect the battery wire harness from the engine compartment. Before installation, look at and clean the terminals of the battery cable clamps and battery posts. Put the battery wire harness in the engine compartment next. Screw the eyelet terminal of the battery positive cable's end into the B(+) terminal stud on the starter solenoid and secure it with 10 N.m (90 in. lbs.) of torque. Loop the battery negative cable around the bolt on the right of the engine block and attach the eyelet terminal to it. Once the eyelet is on, tighten the nut to reach 16.9 N.m (150 in. lbs.). Screw the hinge eye terminal onto the end of the generator stud and tighten the screw to 8.4 N.m (75 in. lbs.). Align the housing for the generator output terminal stud cover onto the back of the generator and click it on securely. Attach the battery negative terminal eyelet to the dash panel close to the battery and tighten the screw to 48.7 N.m or 36 ft. lbs. Pass the positive battery cable and generator output cable eyelet terminal onto the PDC B(+) studs, place the nuts securely and tighten with 11.3 N.m of force (100 in. lbs.). Place the tabs on the bottom edge of the B(+) terminal stud cover into the slots at the back of the PDC housing and slide the top latch into the same slots on the PDC housing. Connect the positive cable terminal clamp to the battery positive post, tightening the pinch-bolt hex nut to 8.4 N.m (75 in. lbs.), then repeat with the negative cable and its post and nut. After that, apply a bit of petroleum jelly or chassis grease to the parts of the battery cable terminal clamps and posts that are not covered.
