Opening Battery Circuit

To prevent allowing a current path through tools used
during vehicle electrical circuit repairs, disconnect the
conductors between the battery pack and vehicle com-
ponents as the first step in any electrical system repair.
Battery pack cable routing is shown in Figure 2.
Before working on the vehicle electrical system, remove
battery conductors as follows (Fig. 2):
1. Park vehicle on a level surface, turn key switch to
OFF, engage the parking brake and remove key from
the key switch. Make sure that the vehicle battery charg-
er is not connected to an electrical outlet.
2. Raise and support cargo bed to allow access to bat-
tery pack.
3. Remove hex nut from negative terminal on the left,
rear battery that secures the negative cable from the ve-
hicle controller, the wire harness ground conductor and
the negative (black and white) conductors from the bat-
tery charger. Remove all of the conductors from the neg-
ative battery terminal.
4. Remove hex nut from the positive terminal on the
right, rear battery that secures the positive cable to the
vehicle main contactor and the positive (red) conductor
from the battery charger. Remove the conductors from
the positive battery terminal.
5. Make sure that disconnected conductors are posi-
tioned away from the battery terminals.
6. Service electrical system on the vehicle as required.
Take care during repairs, however, to not allow tools or
vehicle components to complete the battery circuit that
was opened with the cable removal.
After working on the vehicle electrical system, attach
battery conductors as follows (Fig. 2):
1. Make sure that key is removed from the key switch.
2. Install the positive cable from the vehicle main con-
tactor and the positive conductor (red charger wire) from
the battery charger onto the positive terminal on the
right, rear battery. Secure conductors to battery with hex
nut and torque nut from 95 to 105 in- -lb (10.8 to 11.8
N- -m).

3. Install the negative cable from the vehicle controller,
the wire harness ground conductor and the negative
conductors (black and white charger wires) from the bat-
tery charger onto the negative terminal on the left, rear
battery. Secure conductors to battery with hex nut and
torque nut from 95 to 105 in- -lb (10.8 to 11.8 N- -m).
4. Apply battery terminal protector (see Special Tools in
this chapter) to the connections after the conductors
have been secured to the battery terminals. Also, make
sure that boot is positioned over positive terminal of the
right, rear battery.
5. Lower and secure cargo bed.
