How to Replace the Battery Cables on a 1993 Dodge Spirit

Replacing the battery cables on your 1993 Dodge Spirit may be necessary if the wires have bare spots on them, have melted from contact with hot engine parts or are broken within the wire casings. Replacement cables are available from the Dodge dealer as a direct replacement, or from auto parts stores in universal styles with differing lengths. The 1993 Spirit left the factory with either a 2.5-liter or a 3.0-liter engine option, though the replacement process for the cables is the same on either engine package.

Instructions

1

Open the hood of your Spirit and locate the battery on the passengers side of the engine compartment. Loosen the clamp bolt on the negative battery cable end with a wrench, then lift it off the battery.

2

Follow the negative battery cable to the engine block on the passengers side of the engine. Locate and remove the bolt holding the cable to the engine block, using a wrench. Save the bolt and remove the cable from the engine compartment.

3

Loosen the clamp bolt on the positive battery cable end, using a wrench, then remove the cable from the battery. Follow the cable down to the starter solenoid on the starter, mounted on the passengers side of the engine.

4

Remove the retaining bolt securing the cable to the solenoid, using a wrench, then pull the cable out of the engine compartment. Route the new positive battery cable along the engine to the starter solenoid and secure it to the terminal from where youve removed the old cable. Tighten the nut with a bolt until it is snug, but do not over-tighten it or you will crack the solenoid housing.

5

Place the battery cable end of the new positive battery cable on the positive battery terminal. Tighten the clamp bolt with a wrench until it is snug.

6

Route the new negative battery cable along the engine and attach the end with the brass eyelet to the block, in place of the old cable, using the bolt that youve removed when disconnecting the old cable. Tighten the bolt with a wrench.

7

Connect the battery terminal end of the negative cable to the negative battery terminal. Tighten the clamp bolt with a wrench until the cable is secure.
