95 T100 has an added cable from the positive battery terminal to chassis When the cable broke it drained the battery any info will help also the negative Battery terminal is to chassis.?
There is no way that the positive battery terminal was ever connected to the chassis. This would be a dead short and would fry the battery. Negative to chassis is correct, but positive to chassis, no way. That positive cable goes somewhere else.
How they know that cable of battery is positive and the other one is negative?
I assume you're asking how can you tell which is positive and which is negative? The red cable is positive in the black cable is negative. But if they are not color-coded the positive battery post is slightly larger than the negative battery post. If you try to connect the negative cable to the positive post it would be a tight fit and if you connect the positive cable to the negative post it would be loose.
Where is the starter solenoid located on a 1988 Ford Ranger?
It should be attached to the short positive battery cable.
Do you reconnect the ground or positive cables when installing a car battery?
Safe practice directs that when connecting battery cables to the battery, the positive cable should beattached first, and then the negative cable last. In disconnecting battery cables, safe practice directs cable order in the reverse, I.E., the negative cable is disconnected first, and and the positive cable last. The reason for this safety procedure is that IF the ground cable is attached first, then when using a metallic wrench to tighten the positive cable clamp, and IF the wrench in contact with the positive terminal clamp were to come in contact with any grounded metal of the vehicle, then a tremendous short circuit would occur. A massive short circuit results in massive arcing [fireball] which can severely burn a person, damage the battery [or cause it to explode], damage the vehicle electrical system, or worse, cause the vehicle to catch on fire. Always connect the negative cable last, and disconnect the negative cable first!

Where do the positive and negative wires from the battery attach to the starter on a 1992 F150 six cylinder?
The negative cable actually is bolted to the engine block, and the positive cable will go to the solenoid that is attached to the radiator support. On newer models, the solenoid would be attached to the starter, and then, of course, the positive cable would connect at the solenoid down below on the starter.
Which cable is positive and which is neg?
On a vehicle the red is positive (+) and the black is negative (-). If they are not color coded the cable connected to the starter is positive and the cable connected to the engine or chassis is negative.
