I removed my battery and didnt pay attention to which cable is positive and negative. Neither has red on them. Could you please tell me which is which.

Follow the cables into the engine compartment. The positive cable will run to the altenator and the starter. The negative cable will just connect to a ground source (engine block, frame, etc.)
