2006 Mercury Grand Marquis Battery Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the battery cables on 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: The first step to service battery cables requires a vehicle in neutral gear position on a hoist. When servicing the battery cables start by disconnecting the battery terminal followed by removing its nut for setting aside the engine cover before reinstalling it with a tight force of 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Position the battery cable body ground terminal aside after unwinding its bolt and secure it to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Take off the nut from the fenderwell harness locators before setting the battery junction box (BJB) terminal to the side with a torque of 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). The generator B+ terminal must be secured with 8 Nm torque for base vehicles and 12 Nm for police interceptors after nut removal to position the terminal aside. Position the battery cable engine ground terminal by removing the generator bracket nut and fasten it to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) during installation. Unclip the starter terminal cover after taking away the battery cable harness locator from the valve cover stud bolt. The positive terminal of the starter solenoid needs to be positioned away by removing the nut before torquing it to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) when reinstalling. Position the starter solenoid wire terminal aside by removing the nut and tighten it to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) when reassembling the parts. To perform the installation complete the opposite procedures of removal starting with removing the battery cable harness last.
