2003 Ford Windstar Battery Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the battery cable on 2003 Ford Windstar?

  A: The repair and servicing process of battery cables starts with disconnecting the battery ground cable then moving on to battery positive cable disconnection. The procedure begins by taking off the nut connecting the battery positive cable to the power distribution box. After that disconnect the harness eyelet from the generator B+ stud nut. The driver should first disconnect both the generator battery sense circuit connector and remove its pin-type retainers before accessing the upper radiator support sight shield. Start by removing the body negative ground cable bolt and follow it up by supporting and lifting the vehicle. Install the bracket nut first followed by removing the bracket while taking out the engine negative ground cable from the stud. Start by removing the battery cable harness from its harness bracket followed by removal of the starter motor solenoid terminal cover to finally disconnect the B+ cable by unfastening its nut. Remove the battery cable harness assembly before continuing the rest of the service. Use the opposite steps to reinstall the components. A temporary occurrence of abnormal drive symptoms will appear after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery because the vehicle must learn its adaptive strategy through driving at least 16 km (10 miles) to reach proper adjustment.
