1. Positive cable (red): This cable connects the positive terminal of the battery to the starter solenoid. It carries electrical current from the battery to the starter motor, which cranks the engine.
2. Negative cable (black): This cable connects the negative terminal of the battery to the chassis of the vehicle. It completes the electrical circuit by providing a path for the current to return to the battery.
3. Ground cable (green): This cable connects the negative terminal of the battery to the engine block. It provides a low-resistance path for the current to flow from the battery to the engine and other electrical components.
Here's how these cables are connected:
1. Connect the positive cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
2. Connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the battery.
3. Connect the ground cable to the engine block.
Note: Be sure to tighten the cable connections securely. Loose connections can cause electrical problems, such as starting difficulties, flickering lights, and dead batteries.
