The positive battery cable on my 2002 Ford Windstar is loose. Not the terminal clamp...the cable that goes into the clamp is loose. When I first try to start the car, there is no power but if I jiggle the positive cable slightly, the power returns and I can start my car. I was going to recrimp it but upon further inspection, the rest of the cable looks to be in bad shape. I'd like to replace the whole thing but I can't find a youtube video or a list of instructions on how to remove the existing cable. Let me describe it...the clamp for the positive terminal splits into a y shape. The left side then has a cable which goes to the alternator. The right side goes to just under the engine fuse box and I can't tell how to remove it at that point. I can't tell if it is just plugged into a socket which I can just pull on or if there is a clip that I need to pull back on. I'm afraid to force it. Has anyone swapped this out before? If you have pics, that would be even more help.
You can go to the auto parts store and buy that cable cheaply. When you have it in hand you will clearly see how the other end is connected. Its not a difficult job if you are good with hand tools.
it will not be plugged in, it will most likely be connected with a nut and or bolt.
