2G Battery cables

[xiprometheus]

Hey guys, so I have a quick question.

I managed to get my eclipse running for about a month when the power completely cut off, thankfully I pinpointed it down to being the battery cables, thing is tho how the hell do I get the positive battery cable out, I managed to unhook all the stuff for the negative wire so any help would be appreciated

Which positive cable?

There's one (Black/Red) to the starter and 4 wires (White) to the fuse box. Two of those go to the Alternator fuse, one of which also that a stub (White/Red) to the 20A fuse #9 in the relay box for the AC and cooling system and two to the fuse box bus.

This is common - power issues / battery cables. The factory cables go bad

Do your best to cut it out and re do the whole thing.

I use a junction point to tie in all the things that use / provide power to the car.

Thanks for the advice, I’m going to consider this if my wires all start going out, but right now I only want to replace the battery cables that connect to the battery itself. I already disconnected the negative cable from the ground above the transmission, any tips for taking out the positive cable since it’s on the starter?

First disconnect your negative terminal, then the positive. Now you can disconnect the starter B+ end without any worries.

Will do, I will report back if I have any updates. Also nice Audi!
