• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable on 2006 Buick Lucerne?

  A: The replacement process of the positive battery cable begins with surge tank removal together with negative cable detachment. The procedure requires carpet removal together with unsnapping operations on the positive battery cable cover before its repositioning. The positive battery cable bolt must be loosened but the positive battery cable needs to be separated from the battery. First remove the positive battery cable retainer from the floor pan stud followed by the positive battery cable nut with terminal from the junction block stud and conclude by removing the positive battery cable retainer from the rocker panel. The technician should proceed with removing positive battery cable retainers (2, 3, and 4) from the body harness channel and positive battery cable clips (2, 3, and 4) from body harness retainers followed by the positive battery cable clip from the dash mat. The technician must perform two tasks before taking out the junction block cover: first reposition the dash mat flap and then release the lock tabs situated under the hood. First remove the nut fastening the starter solenoid cable to the bussed electrical center (BEC) before pulling out the starter solenoid cable from the BEC stud and finally the positive battery cable from the BEC stud. The positive battery clips need removal from their side engine compartment locations while you gently shift the positive battery cable grommet through the area in front of the dash. Using vehicle doors access the positive battery cable for extraction through the dash's front side and out of the vehicle compartment. Begin by placing the positive battery cable inside the vehicle and direct its front part through the front of the dash and then install the positive battery cable grommet from under the hood to the dash front. Position the positive battery clips on the side engine compartment before attaching the positive battery cable to the BEC stud and the starter solenoid cable to the same stud and finally tighten the nut to 15 N.m (11 lb ft). Fix the junction block cover and put in position the dash mat flap before attaching the positive battery cable clip to the dash mat. The installation process begins with adding positive battery cable clips (2, 3, and 4) to body harness retainers followed by installing positive battery cable retainers (2, 3, and 4) to body harness channel then moving on to positive battery cable retainer attachment to the rocker panel. Fasten the positive battery cable terminal onto the junction block stud before securing it with the positive battery cable nut at 15 N.m (11 lb ft). Attach the positive battery cable retainer to the floor pan stud then place the positive battery cable on top of the battery and fasten its bolt with 17 N.m (13 lb ft). To complete the procedure securely reinstall the surge tank then put back the carpet before reattaching the negative battery cable. Finally snap the positive cable cover in place.
