Do you need directions? If so, I recommend getting a OEM cable and not one from a parts store. First, disconnect the neg cable. Next, remove the positive. It will lead from the battery to the starter. Unbolt it at each end and install the new one. It is an easy job (other than getting the positive cable from the starter). Other than that, you should have no problem. If you run into trouble, let me know.

Also, when reconnecting the battery, install the positive first then the neg.

Have a great Christmas and thanks for using 2carpros.com.
