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 +.
Is the black wire on a lamp connection plus or minus?
The color of the wire does not indicate its polarity. In electrical systems, the polarity is typically designated as positive (+) and negative (-) rather than plus or minus. To determine which wire is positive or negative on a lamp connection, you would need to consult the manufacturer's instructions or use a multimeter to check the voltage.
How do you wire two 12 volt batteris to get plus 12 volts and minus 12 volts?
You can wire two 12 volt batteries in series... Connect negative of the first battery to positive of the second battery. That common connection becomes ground. The positive of the first battery becomes +12, and the negative of the second battery becomes -12. However, do not expect to be able to charge the second battery in a system designed for only one battery, such as in an automobile.
How is a viper alarm installed into a vehicle?
One can install a Viper alarm system with minimum electrical knowledge. The system has 12 wires. The red and white wire need to be connected to the trunk release wire. The fuse of the red wire needs to be attached to the 'plus' terminal of car battery. The brown wire needs to go to the siren of the car, the yellow wire to the 'plus' of car ignition, the black needs to be attached to the hood as ground, purple wire with 'minus' of dome light, green wire with 'plus' of dome light, blue wire with the sensor pins and orange wire with the hood.
How do you make a circuit with a light bulb and battery?
Get your bulb, it should be a very small wattage (weak) one, get your battery and wires, connect one wire to plus side of abttery and other wire to minus side of battery, then connect to the bulb, you may have to play around a bit to find a connection that produces light.

What is a plus on a car?
Plus refers to the cars battery. Almost all cars have a negative or minus ground. Since the installers books assume you have knowledge of hookups, they don't go into a lot of detail. SO......plus is the battery plus or (+). this comes from the key when switched on. You CAN get a feed from the plus without a key, but you can run your battery down if you forget to turn the radio off. there is a fuse on the fuse terminal FOR a radio, its almost always switched off by the key, and not shared by other stuff like lights and fans. Upper grade stereos have a yellow or orange wire, a red wire, and a black wire for power. The red wire would go to the key plus, the yellow to plus (memory wire to battery, to remember the radio stations you store), and BLACK to minus (ground) or the cars METAL bodywork. MAKE SURE ITS METAL. Cars have a lot of plastic inside and out, it does NOT conduct electric current, so look for a metal spot or use the same ground the car maker has, usually a lot of black wires on brass colored connectors screwed down in one spot, looks like a deformed spider. One other thing, some shops, Halfords for one, sell plug adaptors. Buy one, it may prevent an expensive wiring error that will smoke the radio.
Where is the negative battery terminal located on a 2005 Chevrolet equinox?
typically the cable is black and your hot wire is red. If this is not the case the battery is marked with plus and minus symbals. The ground wire comes off the frame and can be traced down that way as well. Hope this helps That is not the case with the equinox. The manual states that it is in the vicinity of the dip stick; however, no arrow indicates the exact location. I'm having difficulty finding it also.
New battery new cables and still it will not crank and there is no electrical power anywhere what is wrong with this 1984 Ford F150?
You need a cheap voltmeter to check for voltages. The battery cable goes to the startwer relay and from there feeds to many other place Those wires have fuses inside the wire that can be blown if a jump start was reversed in the plus and minus direction.
