I had a friend of mine
try to replace a battery in his 86 Jeep CJ7. He used a suitable wrench to replace the battery cables. But, when he put the cables on the battery he could not figure out why one cable would not fit over one of the terminals on the new battery. Most people would step back and say, what am I doing wrong here, this shoud fit easily. But what does he do??? gets a HAMMER out and pounds the cable onto the new battery!!!!! Then the other cable clamp which is now way to big for the other battery terminal had to be bent so that it would make contact with the terminal. Now, before you go and say, well some cars are postitive ground, blah, blah, blah... The cable for the positive terminal was a RED cable, and the terminal on the battery was RED. I asked him if he noticed that there was a red cable, and a red terminal and he said yes but he didn't make the connection (no pun intended). Anyway, he left the battery connected backwards overnight and came out the next morning to various relays in the engine bay clicking spontaneously. Now, if you hook up the battery to the jeep (correctly) it literally starts on its own!
