  Q: How to safely disconnect and reconnect the negative battery cable on Cadillac XLR?

  A:

  Disabling sir is essential before battery negative cable removal because it stops component deployment and prevents injury. All electrical servicing procedures must be done only when the ignition key is in off or lock and all electrical loads are turned off. A risk of handling live electrical terminations requires immediate battery negative cable disconnection. Record all your vehicle's preset radio stations as well as the radio theftlock(R) activation code before the process begins. First cut off all lamp power and accessory systems then verify you switch off the ignition before removing the negative Battery Cable from the battery. To mount the assembly install the battery negative cable onto the battery then secure the terminal bolt at 8 n.m (71 lb in). Before cable attachment to the battery users should clean away oxidation buildup by brushing the contact surface. Beyond the theftlock(R) radio you must unlock, restore your preferred radio stations and adjust the clock and power window initialization.

  Q: How to replace the LH2 Battery Cable assembly on the 8 CYL, 4.6L, DOHC, HO engine on Cadillac XLR?

  A:

  The battery positive and negative cable assembly replacement process requires starting with disconnecting the battery negative cable from the battery on lh2 - 8 cyl, 4.6l, dohc, ho engines. Open the positive cable nut at the battery before you remove the cable from the battery terminal. You must first remove the battery positive cable lead from the fuse/relay center stud while opening the stud cover then removing the battery positive cable nut. Rephrase the procedure by removing the Battery Cable clips before detaching the battery negative cable from its frame rail stud by taking off the nut installation. The procedure continues with removing the Battery Cable bolt to free the battery negative cable and engine harness ground pack installed at the right rear cylinder head and afterwards separating the intake manifold. Disengage the starter jumper wiring harness from the engine harness connector before removing the electrochemical connection at the positive Battery Cable terminal. Proceed to detach both terminals from the solenoid body. Remove the terminal from the generator stud while pulling backward the boot of the battery positive/starter cable and unfastening the battery positive/starter cable nut and terminal connection. Drain the battery positive cable routing clip bolt while also uninstalling the battery positive and negative cable assembly. Place the cable terminal first on the generator stud while positioning the wire between 2 and 4 o'clock before installing the terminal nut with a torque of 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Route the boot over its position before you attach the positive Battery Cable routing clip bolt into the retaining clip and tighten it to 35 n.m (26 lb ft). Before adding the positive cable terminal install the solenoid harness leads then attach the positive cable terminals to the Starter Solenoid and tighten the large and small nuts to 12 n.m (106 lb in) and 4 n.m (35 lb in) respectively. Install the starter jumper wiring harness on the engine harness connector after reinstalling the intake manifold and positioning both the negative Battery Cable and ground pack from the engine harness on the right rear cylinder head. Then install the Battery Cable bolt. Secure the battery positive cable routing clip bolt at 35 n.m (26 lb ft) while routing the battery negative cable to the frame rail stud before installing the negative Battery Cable nut set to 11 n.m (97 lb in). Secure the battery clips in position while leading the positive Battery Cable to the fuse/relay center stud then tightening the positive Battery Cable nut to 12 n.m (106 lb in). Screw the positive Battery Cable to the fuse/relay center stud before closing its stud cover while using 8 n.m tightening force on the nut and connecting the negative Battery Cable.
