How to replace negative battery cable on 1996 quest

I would suggest getting a muleteer with a 10amp current option. Pull all the fuses and relays. Disconnect the negative battery cable and place the multimeter inbetween the negative battery post and the negative cable. You may get a small amp draw for the computer. Start replacing the fuses and monitor the amp draw. If you have an excessive draw when you first connect, it probably is an alternator issue.

good luck.

You shouldn't have to remove the battery for this. Just don't mess with the positive terminal. You will have to reset the radio stations etc since battery is disconnected.
If the connection at the negative side is corroded, just cut it and reconnect it with a new battery terminal. A parts store can hook you up with that.

You have either a battery with a dead cell that must be replaced, or something is on and draining the battery. Check the under hood, trunk, glove box, brake, parking, and courtesy lights. Open the hood at night and remove the negative cable. When you touch it to the negative battery post if you see a fairly large spark, something is on or something is drawing power. If you see a very tiny spark that is normal as it is the radio & clock pulling power. Replace the battery.

Positive goes to the starter motor and negative goes to the engine block for grounding.
