How to change battery cables on 94 crown vic?

Answer 1

On a 1994 Crown Victoria,first loosen and remove the negative battery cable;then remove the positive cable.You will find that BOTH cables run together through a sheath beside the right hand valve cover.And that is how you buy them from the dealer(in 2002);this may now be different with a parts house(Autozone,Pep Boys,Advance,etc.)There is a small bolt that retains the cables about halfway down the cover(should be a 8 mm or a 10mm head..The negative cable bolts to the back side of the right hand head and might be hard to see but you might have to work by feel;it was as I recall either a 10mm or a 12 mm head.The positive cable runs on down to the starter.If the car is jacked up and placed on a jackstand at least 12 inches high you can reach the starter and remove the nut that retains the cable.The nut is either a 12mm or a 13mm(could also be a 14mm).Then the only thing left is to put the cables on,starting with the positive cable but ONLY after you first clean the battery terminal.Then the negative cable.One word of caution;keep wrenches and other tools clear of the battery terminals or a spark/explosion can occur.
