Positive, because the negative terminal is usually used as the ground plane.
Always the negative cable first.
Connect the positive + cable first and negative - last. When disconnecting them disconnect the negative - first and positive + last.
Disconnect the negative - terminal first, then the positive + terminal. Unfasten the battery hold down clamp. When reinstalling the terminal connections connect the positive terminal first.
Look for a + by the positive terminal and a - by the negative terminal, or red for positive, black for negative. Some batteries have the positive terminal protruding and the negative terminal flat. Or you can get a meter that will tell you which is which,
disconnect negative battery terminal depress brake petal fully for 30-45 seconds reconnect negative battery terminal
disconnect the negative battery terminal to reset the pcm computer. disconnect it for at least 20 minutes
This is fairly easy... however: DISCONNECT NEGATIVE TERMINAL FIRST!! # Make sure your car is off # Keep your oem head unit codes handy in case you need to reset it # Disconnect you're negative terminal (use a rubber coated socket wrench to loosen the screw holding it in, make sure you wrap it in a rag to avoid it touching any ground on your car, and tape it off or hold it somewhere) # Disconnect the positive terminal # Reconnect your positive terminal # Reconnect your negative terminal # Then secure your battery covers and start your car and you're done!!
Disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 10 minuets.
What happens when you inadvertently crossed the positive battery terminal from a negative to a positive and a positive to a negative.?Read more: What_happens_when_you_inadvertanly_crossed_the_positive_battery_terminal_from_a_negative_to_a_positive_and_a_positive_to_a_negative.
One terminal is positive and the other terminal is negative. The positive terminal is slightly larger.
The negative terminal of a battery has a - sign and positive terminal has a + sign.
