• Q: How to replace the battery cables on 2000 Chevrolet Prizm?

  A: Selecting replacement wires for battery cables requires identifying their types together with standard length and size dimensions while taking into account that positive cables may have supplementary wires and negative cables might have grounding leads. Start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable and afterward remove the plastic insulator from the positive terminal followed by the nut securing the positive cables. Remove the chargeable battery first after the technician separates the positive (+) cable from both the fuse block and the relay block 1 feed cable. Detach the positive (+) Battery Cable while ensuring other wires remain unharmed when you separate it from the harness retainers and the harness loom. Disconnect the retaining nut and cable from the Starter Solenoid as a prerequisite to uninstall the cable from the vehicle. The positive (+) Battery Cable must be placed within the vehicle and guided through the harness loom while applying tape to seal out dirt and moisture. The installation requires attaching the positive (+) Battery Cable first to the harness retainers then connecting it to the Starter Solenoid and tightening the retaining nut to 9 n.m (78 lb in). Follow this by installing the battery then connecting both the positive (+) Battery Cable and the fuse and relay block 1 feed cable to the positive battery terminal while reinstalling the positive (+) battery cables nut. After installing the positive (+) battery terminal plastic insulator the technician should join the negative (-) Battery Cable and tighten it to 15 n.m (11 lb ft).
