When connecting a battery to a vehicle, the red positive cable should be connected first.
When connecting jumper cables to a car battery, you should hook up the red cable first.
When charging a battery, it is recommended to connect the red cable first, followed by the black cable. This is the standard procedure to ensure safe and proper charging.

To replace the battery in a 1992 GMC Vandura, first ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked on a flat surface. Open the hood and locate the battery; disconnect the negative (-) cable first, followed by the positive (+) cable. Remove any brackets securing the battery, lift it out carefully, and replace it with the new battery, connecting the positive (+) cable first and then the negative (-) cable. Finally, make sure everything is secured and close the hood.

Answer Red cable (+) goes to starter solenoid and Positive side of battery Black (-) cable goes to engine ground. When disconnecting a battery always disconnect the ground cable from the battery first. When connecting a battery always connect the ground cable to the battery last.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS connect the (+) cable FIRST. The reason it sparked was the ( - ) negative cable was already connected.
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!
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.
When connecting a battery, the red wire should be attached first.
"Sparking" When Connecting a BatteryWhen sparks occur on connecting a battery [IF the cables are connected to the proper terminals and in the proper order] is an indication that some of the electricity using devices [clock, computers, etc.] in the vehicle's electrical system are drawing electrical current.IF the battery cables are being connected properly, this sparking is normal, causes no damage, and is nothing to be concerned about.
