I am changing the complete battery wiring harness. I have the old one out. I can not figure out how to get the wire to the alternator from the bottom sode of the engine. Do I need to remove some pulleys or something? It it a 4.0L V6. Thanks, Aaron

if you got the old one out without taking any pulleys off then you should be able to reverse the procedure and not take anything else off as well......

if you cut the old cable then you may have to take a pulley off, but if you take teh belt off there may be enoguh room to squeeze the new cable through......
