• Q: How to replace the positive battery cable for RPO LX9 on 2007 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: Attending to the replacement task of rpo lx9 positive Battery Cable requires users to start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable followed by the loosening and removal of battery positive cable bolt then completing with the positive cable removal step. Disconnect the junction block cover followed by the positive Battery Cable nut then remove its terminal from the junction block. The positive Battery Cable terminal boot requires repositioning for the generator then the positive cable terminal nut must be undriven before removing the terminal from the generator. To continue the procedure remove the negative Battery Cable ground bolt which connects the radiator support to the fog lamp harness ground. Begin by supporting the vehicle before you take out both the Battery Cable terminals from their clips attached to the side rail and lower radiator support. Start by detaching the starter solenoid nut then removing the positive Battery Cable terminal from the starter before moving on to unfasten the negative Battery Cable nut from the transaxle stud and take away the negative Battery Cable terminal from the stud. Lower the vehicle first and remove the Battery Cable assembly which should be placed on a workbench. The process starts with tearing the tape securing the cable conduit then opening it to take out the positive Battery Cable. During setup workers should position the positive Battery Cable into the conduit before securing it with tape. The Battery Cable assembly then goes back into the vehicle but the vehicle needs to be supported while the negative Battery Cable terminal gets fastened to the transaxle stud using a nut torque to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Install the Battery Cable negative terminal first at the stud then apply the positive Battery Cable terminal to the starter while tightening the "bat" nut to 13 n.m (115 lb in torque specification). The Battery Cable must now be hooked back into the attachment areas on the side rail and lower radiator support while you reinsert the lower radiator baffle and follow by lowering the vehicle. Position the negative Battery Cable ground on top of the fog lamp harness ground before tightening it with the negative Battery Cable ground bolt to the radiator support at 5 n.m (44 lb in). The generator end of the positive Battery Cable needs a 20 n.m (15 lb ft) torque tightening followed by positioning its boot at the generator. Connect the positive Battery Cable terminal to the junction block and secure it with the positive Battery Cable to junction block nut which needs to be tightened to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Complete the procedure by installing the junction block cover before attaching the positive Battery Cable to the battery while tightening its bolt to 16 n.m (12 lb ft). Then restore the negative Battery Cable.
