1. Regularly inspect the battery cables along their entire length for damage, cracks, burnt-out insulation, and traces of corrosion. Remember that poor electrical connection of the contact terminals can lead to difficulties in starting the engine, as well as a decrease in its efficiency.

2a. Check the wire terminal clamps (see accompanying illustrations) for cracks, loss of copper wires and traces of corrosion. The presence of white powdery deposits accumulated under the insulation layer near the terminal tips indicates the development of corrosion and the need to replace the wire. Check the battery terminals and the clamps that secure the wire tips to them for signs of deformation, loose bolts and traces of corrosion.

2a. Check the wire terminal clamps (see…


2b. The lower end of the negative battery cable is connected to the metal of the car body.

2d. Battery wires must be secured in all intermediate fasteners provided.

3. Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery first and reconnect it last. Remember to disconnect the negative cable even if you are replacing only the positive cable.

4. Take the wire to be replaced with you to the shop as a sample. It is extremely important that the design of the wire clamps matches the shape of the connecting terminals on the vehicle.

Warning! If the car stereo system is equipped with a security code, make sure you have the correct combination to activate the system before disconnecting the battery!


5. Disconnect the old wires from the battery (negative at first), then "walk" along each of them to the opposite end and disconnect from the starter traction relay (positive) and ground terminals (negative). Try to remember the routes of both wires in order to follow them when installing new ones.



Note: The wires are easily distinguished from each other by the color of the insulation, always black for the negative and red for the positive. In addition, the positive wire usually has a larger cross-section.


6. Use a wire brush to clean the threads on the traction relay and ground terminals. After removing all traces of corrosion, lightly lubricate the threads with acid-free petroleum jelly to prevent further corrosion.

7. Connect the wire to the solenoid/ground terminal and tighten the mounting nut/bolt securely.

8. Before connecting the new wire to the battery terminal, make sure it reaches the battery terminal freely without excessive tension. Clean the battery terminals thoroughly, then lightly lubricate them with acid-free petroleum jelly.

9. Always connect the positive cable to the battery first, then the negative cable.
