Question
I need to replace the battery cables in my 1994 Kia Sephia...can you
give me a step by step guide to doing this?  Thanks

Answer
Pretty easy to do so,first remove the negative terminal from the battery.Then remove the positive.The negative will be bolted to earth so trace the cable and remove it.The positive may have 2 sometimes 3 wires attached so you might have to splice the new cable into the smaller wires if fitted.Trace the end of the positive to where its attached and take it off.If you buy the original cable/s,these might come with all wires attached so just see where each wire goes and replace them in the same place.Refitting the wires is the opposite procedure.Attach the positive first then the negative last.Dont worry ,you wont get a shock,its 12 volts.If you have any problems feel free to ask me.
