1. Begin by locating the battery in your vehicle.
2. Identify the negative terminal of the battery marked with a minus (-) sign.
3. Using a wrench or a socket, remove the nut or clamp securing the cable to the negative terminal. Carefully lift the cable away from the terminal, ensuring it doesn’t touch any metal parts of the car.
4. Next, locate the positive terminal of the battery. It is typically marked with a plus (+) sign.
5. Remove the nut or clamp securing the cable to the positive terminal. Gently lift the cable away from the terminal, being cautious not to touch any metal surfaces.
