Series : Standard OE ReplacementProduct Fit : Direct FitEach Ford F-150 battery cable is vital in providing your engine with enough power to start and continue running. However, these components will still get worn out over time and require replacement. To lengthen the span of time between your battery cable repair jobs, follow these tips:
Keep your battery cables clean and rust-free.
Making sure that your terminals and battery cables don't get too dirty and corroded can definitely extend the lifespan of the cables and the battery itself. Corrosion on the terminals and battery cable clamps is pretty easy to spot, since these parts are much more visible. You can try cleaning these areas with a stiff wire brush and some baking soda paste. Don't forget to check for corrosion on the cables by looking for some red or green spots on the wires. This means that the copper wires inside the battery cables are corroded and that the cables need to be replaced.
Regularly check for loose battery cables.
From time to time, the connections between the terminals and the battery cables become loose resulting in poor conduction of electricity. Try to see if your battery cables are still properly and tightly attached to the terminals and tighten the cables as needed.
Always disconnect the negative battery cable first when replacing your battery cables.
Disconnecting the negative battery cable first not only protects you from shock, it also guards your car battery against a short circuit. Your F-150 typically has a black negative battery cable and a red positive battery cable. However, it would be advisable to read the markings first in case the colors where changed by a former owner or during a previous battery cable replacement.
Replace the clamps together with the battery cables.
While you can get separate battery cable clamps in most auto parts stores, it is still much more worthwhile to replace the cables when you replace your clamps. Since corroded clamps are usually accompanied by rusted battery cables, replacing them in one go can save you a lot of time and effort. Also, clamps that come with the battery cables offer a better fit and a more secure connection.
