All the loose wires go on the negative.

There are two cable harnesses, you need to connect them properly.

No clue what you are asking.

But, here's a picture of a bunny with a pancake on it's head......

(Just kidding).


The negative terminal wires are in the foreground in this picture.

Serious.


It's not my picture (see above).

I'd have to go down 14 floors +4 parking to take my own pic with a crappy cellphone camera.... I'm way too lazy for that!

AHEM... And also it looks like someone need to clean the top of their battery case!



Seriously, the crud will eventually start conducting and drain your batt.

I love AGM batteries because no crud and no corrosion!
