What color is positive on a car battery?
Normally red or brown. The battery has a + stamped into it by the positive terminal. Follow the wires, on a modern car the positive will go to the alternator and starter. The negative wire (easier to follow) will go to the body/engine block
Is the ground wire positive or negative?
Neither - it's neutral !
Why makes the starter on 1998 silverado engage when the positive cable is connected and the key is not in the ignition?
Did you put a starter on it ? If so, Then you have put the starter wires in the wrong place are you have the big battery wire touching the small wire that goes to the starter. Recheck the wiring on the starter.
Which wires go where on a 99 Saturn starter?
Depending on the vehichle, you may only have one wire going to the starter, which would be the positive wire from the battery. In addition to this wire, many vehicles have a wire or pair of wires going to the solenoid housing on the starter. The positive wire is a very thick, heavy wire, which usually will have a loop terminal at the end, which fits over a post on the starter, which has a nut that threads down to secure the positive wire.Often wire lengths will give you a hint as to where they should be connected, and wires frequently are bent to fit the connections. Be careful if you are guessing on where the solenoid wires connect, because a mistake could fry the solenoid.In AdditionMany vehicles may have an additional, fairly heavy wire that runs to the same post as the battery. This wire makes its way to the alternator and is the location of the charging system fuseable link.
What side does electrons flow from in a battery?
Outside the battery:The path for conventional current goes from the positive terminal (+, usually a red wire) to the negative terminal (−, usually a black wire).A wire's electrons flow from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Since the current forms a continuous a loop in the same direction, the direction inside the battery is "backwards".Inside the battery:Conventional current flows from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Positive ions flow from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Negative ions flow from the positive(+) terminal to the negative (−) terminalConventional current assumes that all flowing charges are positive. It simplifies the situation because it hides the more complicated electrons, positive ions, and negative ions.
What side of the starter does the wire that comes from the alternator go to positive or negative?
Positive
How do you connect the alternator positive and negative wire to starer?
You do not connect any wire from the alternator to the starter. The positive wire from the alternator should run to the positive on the battery, and the negative wire (if equipped) should run to the engine block (or any suitable ground). Most alternators are already grounded by the bolts holding them to the engine, but some do have a negative wire.
Where does the positive and negative go on a starter for a 1993 dodge intrepid?
The positive goes on the large stud. The engine ground wire goes under the center starter bolt.
Which wire is grounded positive or negative?
The negative wire is grounded.AnswerThe negative wire is grounded.
Where is the ground wire to the starter on a 1996 corolla?
There is no ground wire. The casing of the starter itself is considered the ground. Ex. If you take a battery and use jumper cables to touch the positive lead to the wire terminal on the starter, and then touch the negative terminal to the metal casing it will spin the motor.
How do you tell a positive speaker wire from a negative speaker wire?
The positive speaker wire is a solid color, your negative wire should have a stripe on it.
Where can you locate the starter on a 2000 F-150?
Other than the obvious answer, Read the manual... you could simply follow the Battery's positive "+" wire to it. The batter connects to the starter on the positive side and to frame ground on the negative.
How do you locate the starter on a 98 Ford Expedition?
Any time you disengage the battery cables, it is recommended that you disconnect the negative (-) battery cable first. This will prevent your accidentally grounding the positive (+) terminal to the body of the vehicle when disconnecting it, thereby preventing damage to the above mentioned components. Follow the big / fat wire (red) positive (+) wire from the battery to the starter. The big / fat wire (red) positive (+) wire will go from the battery to the starter. The starter is located between the motor and transmission. The starter turns the fight wheel to start the engine.
How do you wire a 6 volt positive ground system?
Positive Cable from Battery to ground location on frame Negative to Starter Use #2 guage cable for best results Answer No. 2 You don't wire positive ground. Wire negative ground and you will forever be thankful. With a positive ground car everything, like a radio, elect fuel pump, elect fan or anything you add will have to be isolated because everything is made negative ground. You can't wire stuff made negative ground to a positive ground you get the shorts.
How do you wire a starter on a 90 hp Johnson?
The starter should have two wires. The positive wire goes to the positive terminal on the battery. The ground wire can be grounded to anything that is metal.
How do you tell a positive wire from a negative wire on a car?
On the car battery, the positive wire is red and the negative wire is black. If the body of the car is metal or conducts electricity, then the body of the car serves as the negative wire. The metal in the engine serves as the negative wire.
How do you tell which battery lead is positive or negative?
The negative should lead to the frame, block, or body. The positive will lead to the starter and fuses.The negative should lead to the frame, block, or body. The positive will lead to the starter and fuses.
