How to replace positive battery cable?
#2
The main battery wire? Or just the one that runs to the starter? That one is easy, the main wire is not. Unless it is completely tore up, or corroded all the way through, I wouldn't worry about it.

Four easy steps:
1) Disconnect the battery and remove it from the vehicle.
2) Remove the old cable.
3) Install the new cable.
4) Install the battery and reconnect it.

Im pretty sure the wire that has the red plastic piece runs into the fuse box. You can replace the terminal without replacing that wire. Why are you wanting to replace the wire? Whats wrong with it?

Probably not that hard, but why do it if it's not absolutely necessary? The only wire that would make sense to replace is the starter positive wire. No point in replacing the other one unless it is corroded all the way through or something.

The battery cable, accessory feed lines (2), and starter solenoid signal wire are all wrapped together into a harness. Remove and unwrap them, then replace the cable with a generic one, or just solder a new lug on.

Replace the starter power wire and the terminal clamp and you will be fine. Even if replacing the main positive wire helps a little, it won't go far, as every other wire past where that wire ends is going to still be 15+ years old. All I've done, and what many do, is replace the starter positive wire and the terminal clamp, and that does fine. Unless you plan on replacing every wire in that car, it really isn't worth trying to replace the main positive wire.

DO NOT do this. These are for emergencies only and are meant to be temporary. They all inevitably fail.

Order the wire from Nissan and replace it. Did mine a few years back but wished the wires going to fuse box was replaceable. Tabs broke off as they were seized in old wire. Every time the fans turn on or hit a switch, the lights dim...but not sure if its not making a proper connection.
