Best Answer

There are two cables that run from the starter relay on the drivers side fender wall and both of those wires run through a loom, behind the battery, down to the bottom of the transmission housing and over to the starter mounting bolts. There are 3 bolts that secure the battery cables in place: The first one is on the drivers fender wall behind the battery. The second is on the bottom of the transmission housing near the fender, but the bolt is directly secured to the transmission housing I think. If it isn't the transmission then it is around there somewhere, because I can't remember that particular bolt location. The third bolt is the bracket attached to the starter mounting bolts. That should take care of unfastening the battery cables loom, at that point, you should be able to remove the battery cables from the car as long as they are not connected to the battery, starter relay and the starter solenoid. I forgot the second bolt, because it was tricky to maneuver a rachet into the area and loosen the bolt.
