Default Fast/Easy Battery Question

Ok, I trust myshop to do things correctly. However, they didn't connectthe thicknegative lead from my battery...it's just hanging off! (The thin lead is connected/grounded.) Where does it connect to? Thanks!

So both of the of your battery connecters areconnected. Your negativeend connects to the block near the timing chain cover. So yes Sk8trfred is right.

Ok, so the negative cable is attached on one end to the battery, then on the opposite end the thin lead goes to the body where it's grounded, and the thick lead attaches to the block near the timing cover. Got it! Thanks!

oh...make sure your block is grounded to the car body correctly...one of those braided stainless straps to the firewall works well.
