Positive Battery Cable Routing on F-150sI'm not familiar with your '85 model, but I have both an '89 and a '93 F-150 with the same 4.9L/300 straight six engine.

On both of my vehicles, the cable from the Positive terminal of the battery goes to the input [always "hot"] terminal of a solenoid mounted on the right front inner fender. A similar heavy cable goes from the solenoid output [ignition switch controlled] terminal to the starter.

There are also lighter conductors that go from the hot input terminal of the solenoid to the vehicle's electrical system.

Is the positive connector on a Lead-acid battery white?

The positive connector on a lead acid battery is frequently not white. In the United States, the wire that leads to it is usually red. The black wire leads to the negative terminal. The positive terminal on the battery is always indicated by a plus, +, sign. The Negative terminal is indicated by a minus, -, sign. The negative terminal is usually attached to the body of the car. (Cars have a negative ground, except for 1935-1948 Fords.) The positive connector is usually attached to the solenoid and generator. So check the wire that comes from the battery to the solenoid. That is positive. Check to make sure it is connected +.
