Negative is black. Positive is red. Follow the heavy black wire. Alternatively, negative is also ground, and a good place is the alternator bracket. Some newer cars have the battery in strange places, such as under the left fendor (Chrysler) or under the rear seat (GM). There will still be a distribution panel in the engine compartment. Again, follow black, and not red.
The battery is under the saddle. The red cable goes to the terminal marked positive (+) and the black cable goes to the terminal marked negative (-).
The starter on a 2005 Honda Accord is replaced by disconnecting the negative battery terminal, removing the starter shroud, and unbolting it from the block. The wiring harness is then disconnected and the replacement starter mounted.
Does it crank over? Check the battery connections, check for any other loose connectors,
Remove negative battery cable and put something insulating between the negative battery terminal and anything that might contact it. Remove positive battery cable. Behind the battery (between the battery and the passenger compartment) there is a metal plate that clamps the battery in place. This plate is fastened with a bolt. Loosen the bolt until the plate can move enough that the battery may be removed.
READ THE MANUAL BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!! My husband just tried to replace my battery on my 2005 1200C. The negative terminal post completely melted off onto my garage floor and the wrench got so hot it burned his palm....After this, he read my manual which said to connect the positive terminal first. He connected the negative terminal first..who would have thought it would make that much of a difference... Good luck!
Put the key in the ignition and turn the power on (do not start the car) Now disconect the negative battery terminal and wait about two minutes. Turn off the key and reconect the battery terminal. The check engine light should now be off. Hard to believe the shop charges $50 for this.
