I have a 2000 Ford Focus Zetec. The battery was stolen from my car, in the process the thieves cut my negative battery terminal leaving the wires just cut... Would anyone know how these four wires connect, besides the obvious one which is the ground one connected to the chasis/body, there are also a black wire with a red stripe, a black wire with a yellow stripe and a black wire with a light blue stripe... Please help.
Normally there is only one earth wire on a battery as all units earth through this wire to the negative terminal. I would not bother trying to reconnect the cut wires as this will lead to problems further on. Go to a wrecker that handles you model vehicle and get the positive terminal wiring loom and replace all the cut wires . Leave the negative terminal off while you are doing this.

the yellow blue is the + side of coil but to be safe get a test light connect one end to the negative side of battery or a good clean earth on the engine turn ignition. Check which wire has power .The one with power is for the + side of coil . Check test light on battery to make sure it works

Either the ground cable is loose or corroded at block connection . If cleaning this does not help, change the cable!

Position a jack under the front of the car and raise it off the ground. Support the car with a set of jack stands, placing them under the front suspension. Lower the jack until the car is resting on the jack stands.
Locate the splash shield in the passenger's side wheel well and remove the two retaining bolts that secure it, using a socket and ratchet. Remove the splash shield from the wheel well and locate the serpentine belt tensioner through the access hole.
Insert the square drive of a ½-inch drive breaker bar into the square hole on the tensioner and rotate the tensioner counterclockwise, releasing the tension on the belt. Remove the belt from the pulleys and rotate the tensioner back to the home position.
Position a new belt in the engine compartment and run it around all of the pulleys except the tensioner's idler pulley. Rotate the tensioner counterclockwise with the breaker bar and then slide the belt under the idler pulley.
Slowly rotate the tensioner back to the home position, tightening the belt as you rotate it. Remove the breaker bar, then replace the splashguard in the wheel well. Install the two retaining bolts and tighten them with a socket and ratchet.
Raise the front of the car off the jack stands with a jack, remove the stands from under the car, and lower the car to the ground. Install the negative battery cable on the negative battery terminal and tighten the clamp bolt on the cable end with a wrench.
