Chevrolet Tracker Battery Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to inspect and replace battery cables?A: Periodically inspect the entire length of each battery cable for damage, cracked or burned insulation and corrosion. Poor battery cable connections can cause starting problems and decreased engine performance. Check the cable-to-terminal connections at the ends of the cables for cracks, loose wire strands and corrosion. The presence of white, fluffy deposits under the insulation at the cable terminal connection is a sign the cable is corroded and should be replaced. Check the terminals for distortion, missing mounting bolts and corrosion. When removing the cables, always disconnect the negative cable first and hook it up last or the battery may be shorted by the tool used to loosen the cable clamps. Even if only the positive cable is being replaced, be sure to disconnect the negative cable from the battery first. Disconnect the old cables from the battery, then trace each of them to their opposite ends and detach them from the Starter Solenoid and ground terminals. Note the routing of each cable to ensure correct installation. If you're replacing either or both of the cables, take the old ones along when buying new cables. It's very important to replace the cables with identical parts. Cables have characteristics that make them easy to identify: positive cables are usually red, larger in cross-section and have a larger diameter battery post clamp; ground cables are usually black, smaller in cross-section and have a slightly smaller diameter clamp for the negative post. Clean the threads of the solenoid or ground connection with a wire brush to remove corrosion. Apply a light coat of battery terminal corrosion inhibitor, or petroleum jelly, to the threads to prevent future corrosion. Attach the cable to the solenoid or ground connection and tighten the mounting nut/bolt securely. Before connecting a new cable to the battery, make sure it reaches the battery post without having to be stretched. Connect the positive cable first, followed by the negative cable.
