No it uses a top post battery because the terminal ends don't fit the two.
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
The one hooked to the negative battery post. The positive post is slightly larger.
1. Take the negative cable end loose first, then the positive (red ) side. 2. Remove the hold down. 3. Lift the cover off. 4. Remove the battery. When installing the new battery put the positive post on first.

The positive cable is connected to the alternator and starter. The negative cable is connected to the chassis or engine ground. Positive is red and negative is black. The positive post is slightly larger than the negative post.
The Jeep uses a top post battery and the Olds uses a side post battery. They do not interchange.
Okay- I own a Ford Escort LX, 1994 4-dr, and for all my problems, and help I use this forum site called feoa.net (ford escort owners association), look under "engine swap" and either look for the biggest engine, or post your own topic. It's an amazing site,
The ground strap is the battery cable that connects from the negative battery post to ground, usually the chassis.
No. If the battery post if missing then you will have to buy a new battery. My question to you is how is a battery post missing?
There is an easy way to find out what is draining the battery on your car. Disconnect the positive or negative battery terminal. Not both. Connect a test light between the post of the battery to the cable end of the battery. If your car is draining the batt ery the light will show it. To find out where the drain is coming from just pull fuses until the light goes out. Then you will know what is draining the battery by the function of the fuse you just pulled. For example, if you pulled the fuse for "radio" and the light went out you would know the radio is drawing the current off your battery.
You can buy an adapter to convert a side post to top post or visa versa.
Disconnect battery and put a bulb between the battery post and the disconnected lead, if a drain is there the bulb should light up. Then methodicly remove and replace each fuse one at a time, if the light goes out, that will indicate the circuit the drain is on. Good Luck
