Something is on. Any Light, stuck relay, etc. Even the ECU and clock will pull a very small amount of power. If the spark is large enough for you to see then something other than the ECU and clock is on.
what are the 2 small wires on the + battery cable on 1997 riviera
To change the spark plugs in a 2000 Mercury Sable, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the ignition coil by unscrewing it, then detach the electrical connector. Carefully pull out the old spark plug using a spark plug socket and ratchet, and replace it with a new one, tightening it to the manufacturer’s specification. Reattach the ignition coil and reconnect the battery cable.
The plus is Positive + and it connects to the Red cable which connects to the starter.
You have to have two battery jumper cables. One cable connects to the Bettle battery plus connector and the plus side of the battery in a (engine running) jumpstart car. The other cable connects to the jumpstart car negative battery connector and the bettle minus battery connector. It is important to let the donor car charge the Bettle battery for ten to fiftenn minutes because most jumper cables are poor quality and size to immediately supply all the current to the Bettle starter by themselves. Give the Bettle battery a while to charge and let it help the cranking process.
Connect jumper cables from well charged battery or another running car 's battery - plus post to plus post and minus post of the good battery to a solid metal part of the car with the dead batter- AWAY from the battery. When you make the last connection, you may get a spark. Batteries sometimes give off hydrogen gas that can be exploded by that spark. Allow 5 minutes or more for some current to flow into the weak battery , then try to crank the dead car. When removing the cables, remove the one that goes to solid metal first.
Try removing the batteries, if that doesn't work did the calculator come with a cable connecting it to the computer? (If it does plug this into the computer and it should hopefully un-freeze)
There are 4 places to connect the battery - To the Starter, the chasis and to the battery 1) The RED thick cable that goes to the big bolt and screw attached to the starter which is on the the same side as the battery below the exhaust manifold - left and center from the front of the vehicle and beneath the # 3 spark plug wire (***caution *** do this while engine is COLD) 2) The BLACK cable should (normally) attach to the top of the alternator on the top - or engine block - this is the negative ground - To the Battery 3) The black cable attaches to the MINUS "-" (Negative, aka "Neg") terminal. 4) The red cable attaches to the PLUS "+" (Positive, aka. "Pos") terminal. NOTE: Alot of cables have other connections on them ie., grounds etc. accessory items. If your black cable for example, has an extra small black wire on it - it too needs to be attached to the same place or near by to the chasis (grounded) Good Luck. LBB90210 red cable should go to starter or starter relay black cable should go to ground on the engine block
Remove all cables from the generator. Connect battery's + (plus) to the generator's A and then connect battery's - (minus) to the generator's F (field) for a second. Might give a small spark, but that doesn't hurt anybody.
The plus side of the battery has a NIPPLE on it. The negative side of the battery is flat. Hope this helps
Connect the plus poles first, using the red cable. Then connect the negative terminal of the good battery to the negative terminal on the bad battery. Don't leave the bike switched on but start immediately.
disconnect both cables from the battery and remove the battery hold down bracket, remove battery, put new one in replace the bracket, connect positive (red cable [end will have plastic cover with red plus sign on it]} first than the other (negative) one. your done.
To remove the battery in a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and the keys are removed. Begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable (usually marked with a minus sign) using a wrench, followed by the positive cable (marked with a plus sign). Once both cables are disconnected, remove the battery hold-down bracket or clamp, and carefully lift the battery out of the tray. Take care, as batteries can be heavy and contain corrosive materials.
