that would be the negative normally in most cars goes to ground on the engine block
There are typically two cables, one is usually red and the other black. The black cable attaches to the negative terminal on the battery and the red wire connects to the positive terminal on the battery. When removing the battery from the vehicle always remove the negative cable from the battery first. When installing the new battery always connect the negative cable to the battery last.
Follow the cables to see where they go, one cable will be fastened to the car chassis, this is your ground wire or the negative post, the other wire should make it's way to the alternator this is your positive cable.
Red, positive + cable to Positive + battery terminal. Black, negative - cable to Negative - battery terminal.
Indirectly. The positive cable on the battery is hooked to the starter. The other wire on the starter post goes up to the alternator.
on big post you will have battery cable and a couple of fuse links on small post 1 wire
Hello. If your car has a charge indicator light, you should have a white wire with a black stripe hooked to the stator post, a white wire to the fld post, a black wire with a yellow stripe hooked to the bat post, and a black wire with a red stripe hooked to the ground post. The white wire on the fld post goes to the F terminal on the voltage regulator, the white wire with black stripe on the stator terminal goes over to the S post on the voltage regulator, the black wire with the yellow stripe on the bat post goes to the hot side of the starter solenoid, and the black wire on the grd post goes over to one of the attaching screws on the voltage regulator and also to the passenger side of the engine block, where it is attached with the same bolt that holds the negative battery cable to the block. If your car has the charge indicator gauge instead of the light, the stator post is not used.
On the battery its the post that has a minus sign next to it and the leads from the battery will typically be black instead of red. Another thing to do is to go to your local auto parts store and ask them to show you. They will get a kick out of doing so and you'll not have to ask again.
There should be three wires attached to back of the alternator of a 66. You should have a black wire with a red stripe hooked to the GRD post, a black wire with a yellow stripe hooked to the BAT post and a white wire hooked to the FLD post. The black wire with the red stripe is the ground and splits off with one end bolting to the engine block on the same bolt that holds the negative battery cable to the block, the black wire with the yellow stripe goes to the hot side of the starter solenoid, and the white wire goes over to the F post on the voltage regulator.
Starter solenoid?? Attach + battery cable to ne large post Attach starter cable to 2nd large post Attach trigger wire to either small post Disregard 2nd small post if any
get a multi meter that reads dc voltage & touch the black (negative -) wire to the negative battery post & the red (positive +) wire to the positive battery post with car running. car off is battery voltage, car on is alternator voltage.
Depends on the year, but basicaly, there will be a large wire/cable comming off the starter, follow that as it goes DIRECTLY to the selinoid... on the selinoid, you will see another large wire/cable..that goes directly to the POS on the battery..so...you can also follow the large cable comming off the POS battery post, and find the selinoid...
The negative cable goes to the body of the car at some point,
