Any cautions before disconnecting battery? 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Manolo on  Thu Jan 6 19:39 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Normal proceedure is to disconnect the negative terminal first and connect the negative terminal last.

The only reason you do this is so that the handle of your wrench won't spark if you touch it to ground while working on the positive terminal.

Otherwise, there is nothing to be concerned about that I know of. I presume that your car predates the anti-theft radios, so you don't have to worry about knowing the code when you disconnect your battery.
