  Q: How to service and repair the battery cable on Ford Contour?

  A: The engine air cleaner must be removed before performing battery cable service and repair. The back up power supply needs depletion before servicing the battery cables so users must disconnect the ground battery cable first before disconnecting the positive battery cable and wait one minute to minimize risks of accidental air bag deployment and personal injury. The battery clamp needs to be disconnected from the distributor plates after completing the disconnect of the starter motor solenoid electrical connector and releasing the battery cables from the clips. After disconnecting the transaxle housing ground cable you must separate the positive battery cable while removing its cable tie. The vehicle needs lifting and providing support. Next disconnect the electrical connectors of the starter motor followed by removing the shorting bar cover. Remove the positive battery cable accessory using the cable nut along with the connector before taking out both battery connectors. The installation of these parts requires performing the removal steps in the reverse order. The vehicle needs to drive 16 km (10 mi) or more until the adaptive strategy relearning completes after battery procedure.
