honda2000 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 hi, i have a honda accord 1991 and i to need to replace the positive battery cables. The positive cables splits into 2 parts. One part goes to the fuse box. Where does the other part go. As you can see in the photo, i have put numbers next to cables so it can be easily shown. Cable 2 goes to the fuse box, where does cable 4 go down to? How do i change the positive battery cable. I just don't know where cable 4 goes down to, so i can replace it. I don't have a jack to look under the car, Do i need a jack to replace the number 4 cable, or can i change the cable without going under the car? The picture is right below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 You can get new ones at Majestic Honda. It should also show a decent wiring diagram of where they are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 One goes to fuse box, the otherone goes to the terminal on your alternator Just goto autozone/pepboys/napa and get a new one for 1/10th of what majestic wants. All you need to do is measure how long the cable is from your alternator to your positive terminal, then find one that fits, they come pre-terminated with an eyelet at the fuse box end, eyelet at the alternator end, and a top mount post fitting on the main hub end.

honda2000 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 cmgogo, do i replace the number 4 cable by going under the car by using a jack, or can i replace it without going under the car. I don't even know where the alternator is located, i think i do, but i am not 100 percent sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 not sure, depends on how the p/o routed it, because that is not a stock harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlehead Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Goes to your starter. To clarify the post above, the altenator feeds back through the fuse panel and not directly to the battery since it is governed by the ELDU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honda2000 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 do you think i should change the battery cables? Every year when it rains, my car needs a jump a few times a year. I think rain affects the battery for whatever reason. The positive cable splits into two. One goes to the fuse box(cable number 2), the other part of that cable goes to the starter (cable number 4) Do you think i should change that cable? Please look at the photo and let me know if it needs to be replaced. The picture is not a close up, but if you see closely, you can see wires on cable 4 right near top of the cable, the wires are not thick, its not thin either, the wires have lost half of its width due to rewiring. I just thought if i change the cable, that it will fix my cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
