0:58 Once you removed the negative terminal connector you cannot short the positive terminal with a wrench (unless you drop it across both terminals). That's why the negative gets removed first ... as you correctly did.

Thank you! I got into this job on a Maxima (very similar assembly as in the Altima) and thought I'd messed up - could not get the bolt to loosen. With a boost of confidence from this video and some rust penetrate, I finally got it.

I always thought your comments about not touching the frame from the positive terminal only applies when the negative terminal is connected, which is why you always disconnect negative (or ground) first and connect it last. Is that not true?

Major confused now. If he disconnected the negative terminal, how can anything short? There's no circuit completed on the battery?
@nickv4073
3 жыл бұрын
Because if your wrench touches the positive post and the other end touches ANY metal on the engine itself at the same time, you have completed the circuit leading to a short. Remember, the negative post is grounded to the engine. Your slipped wrench mistake just grounded the battery by another path.

I have a problem with you saying to not touch the wrench to any metal part of the car. You disconnected the negative battery terminal, so why should it matter if you touch the wrench to the metal of the car?? Also, my positive terminal has broken where it connects to the battery post and I am having trouble getting that nut off the terminal. I have sprayed it with penetrating oil and let it set, but as of yet, it still won't budge. I don't want to damage the fuseable link. Any ideas on how to remove it?

One thick wire goes directly to the starter motor, the other thick one to the alternator. The other smaller one goes to the car's main fuse links to all other electrical accessories.
