I need to replace my battery cables, but i really dont have much experience. I definately dont want to spend money taking to it a mechanic.
Does anyone have a link or a writeup on how to do this.
The manual just says to trace the cable and replace them...but it seems more complicated than that.

Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

 

It is that simple. Both go directly to the starter motor. The positive goes to the actual motor itself; the negative goes to one of its mouting bolts. The difficult part is extracting the cables from the loom, but that just takes time.

 

ok thanks.

 

REALLY?! thats it?!

so.. relocating the battery wouldnt be as tough as i originally thought.. hmm..

are all the other wires spliced off at the starter area?

i had imagined the wires were actually spliced together near the battery, but i never looked closely..

 

No, the wire that goes to the engine bay fuse box comes from the battery too. Both this wire and the starter motor wire are attched to the positive battery terminal.

 

What gauges are the wires? I need to so this and get new terminals also.

 

If Ted only had his site up...he has a good depiction of the conversion.
