2009 Ford Expedition Battery Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the battery cables on 2009 Ford Expedition?

  A: One must verify that the vehicle is set to neutral while it is on a hoist before beginning battery cable repairs. Unplug the battery before removing the nut from the starter to set aside the positive cable terminal at the required torque of 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). Tighten the starter solenoid positive cable terminal to 12 Nm (106 lb-in) when placing it aside for installation. The starter solenoid wire terminal should be tightened to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) after reinstalling. The two battery cable harness brackets need the removal of nuts as they are attached to A/C compressor mounting bolts; tighten all to 10 Nm (89 lb. in) upon completed installation. The installation process requires positioning the battery ground cable-to-frame terminal aside before tightening it to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). When installing the device tighten the generator harness terminal together with the BJB cable terminal to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). After separating the battery ground cable from cowl panel terminal the bolt needs to be retreated at 12 Nm (106 lb-in). You should disconnect the battery cable harness in-line electrical connector and then release the harness locator before taking out the battery cable harness assembly. The procedure must be finished through reverse installation steps.
