Installation Procedure
- Verify that all electrical components are off such as interior lights, all doors are closed, the underhood lamp, etc.
- Clean corrosion from the negative battery cable using a metal brush.
- Install the battery negative cable (3) to the battery (5).
- Install the retaining bolt to the battery negative cable.
Tighten: Tighten the battery negative cable to 15 N.m (11 lb ft).
- Reset the radio stations and the clock.
NOTE:
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
