just don't tell your buyer about that little incident...("if he can't put a battery in, he probably doesn't know how to change the oil...")



(not saying that's how I think, but how a buyer might think)

 

Hehe, luckily for me I'm too lazy to change the oil, and just take it to a service station for that. Otherwise I'd probably find some way to screw that up, and fill the car with cat food or something.



In my defense, I still maintain that the rest of the civilized world feels that the black terminal is generally the negative one. Or is that just some misconception I've had all my life?

 

I have a black 1gauge battery wire on the battery in my Jeep, Its some special wire because it splits into 2 wire because I have 2 solenoids in the truck, one for the plow, but it came with a nice bright *** red "+" sticker to put on the ends of it.



Whoever put that black cover over the terminal probably only had that laying around.

 

Ok I didnt read everything, but it could be your alternator. I just had that problem....well last night. Just a thought.
