Wire connecting to positive battery connection.

I have a wire lose that appears to have normally been connected to the positive battery pole. the wire has a fuse #40 attached to it.

I have not noticed any problems - but just noticed today that the connection has been broken.

Not sure what this wire is and i cant find a diagram of the engine that shows the wire. any clue?

Thanks, Jared

It may go to an accessory that someone added to the vehicle.Trace the wire to discover what it powers, or just reconnect it.

Need 12v switched power source in the dash.

best thing to do, as i presume you want a completely new power feed , run a power and earth cable to the battery and connect the power to the positive pole and place a fuse inline at that point and connect the earth wire to the neg pole , leave the fuse out until you have run the cable to where you want it ,this is a much safer way as can't interfere with any other components already fitted keep me updated if you wish

2001 kia Rio no start no crank. Took starter out and had tested. Tests good. Check power at start solenoid. Turn key to start position and I would have power to solenoid wire. Plugged wire onto starter....

Bad connection at the battery. As soon as large current is demanded by the starter, you lose the connection. Make sure both terminal connections on battery are clean and tight. Now is a good time to do a voltage drop test. Watch youtube videos. Most are quite good at explaining the test. This test is great for finding a bad connection.

I have a"performance technique ICBM-9774" does anyone know how I would hook it up in a motor home for my aunt? There are just a positive and negative coming from the wall and im not sure where to hook

This looks like a job for Superman or maybe you! Connect an alligator clip test wire to the chassis of the unit for a good ground. Get a 12 volt battery and hook the other end of this ground wire to its negative pole (-). Hook a second wire to the positive pole of the battery. Put that modular plug back in the unit making sure that all the wires coming out of it are separated. Then, trying the THICKER RED wires first touch each to the positive (+) wire from the battery. When the panel light of the unit is on...you got it! The thinner wires are mostly for the speakers with black for negative an red for positive...the antenna is anybody's guess!

Need to know where the positive wires that connect to the battery of a '95 Toyota previa connect.

Hi

The black wire will be connected to the body or engine of the van and the red or positive wire is connected to your starter motor.
You can also use a 12 volt battery light to check the negative or positive wires.
You take the 12 volt battery light and place the negative black wire clip to an earth on the vehicle, then when you touch the tip of the 12 volt battery light onto a positive wire the light will light up.
Then you will know which wires are negative or positive sometimes the key has to be on for some wires to work.
Cheers

Replaced the starter and now when connecting the battery the car starts by itself

You have a wire going into your starter in the opposite side of the starter. There should be 2 poles where you connect wires. The only one that goes to one pole is the heavy gauge wire coming from your solenoid6_27_2012_2_58_09_am.jpg

I have a 1996 hyundai accent it ran fine took battery off and put it back on now no spark and wont start

Check the ground wire, a black connected to the ( - ) pole, it might have been disconnected. Clean the battery clamp and battery terminals from rust and oxidation, tighten up the TERMINAL. Remember ( + )positive pole is RED and negative ( - ) pole is black, sometimes no plastic cover!
Taaah!

Need to change battery in my used Land Rover. I do not have the radio code to reprogram after I put in the new battery.

get some jump leads and another battery of car, connect the leads to the terminals after you have loosened them make sure they stay connected while you remove the battery this way the radio will remain powered and you will not have to put in the code
