When insatlling a battery what cable goes on what post?
There are typically two cables, one is usually red and the other black. The black cable attaches to the negative terminal on the battery and the red wire connects to the positive terminal on the battery. When removing the battery from the vehicle always remove the negative cable from the battery first. When installing the new battery always connect the negative cable to the battery last.
My f 150 pickup won't start have replaced battery and starter still wont turn over will start when jumped?
You replaced the battery, is it good?? You really haven't given sufficient info. Check the Battery, Cables, Solenoid, Starter. The way I read this is that you put in a new battery and the truck's engine will not turn over when you turn the key. When you jump the truck, it turns over, starts, and runs. Are you jumping from positive to positive and negative to negative on the batteries OR are you going battery post negative on the vehicle giving the jump to a frame, engine bracket, or body metal point on your F150? If you are going positive to positive/negative to negative on the batteries, then I suspect your new battery. If you are hooking the negative jumper up to a ground other than the negative post on your battery, then I would suspect a bad negative cable. Speaking of cables, did you clean any corrosion off of the terminals when you replaced the battery? Corrosion does funny things. If in doubt, replace the battery cables.

How do you reboot a car computer?
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery Leave it disconnected for an hour. (The amount of time it takes to replace the battery). Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery. This works because a transient (voltage spike, noise) is generated when the terminal is reconnected. This is not necessary when the battery is replaced because the negative terminal is normally the last connected. However, when a car's battery dies in storage for example and is recharged with disconnecting the battery, the car might not start because the computer is not running.
