Are you standing in the store trying to figure this out? I do it all the time, so now I write it down before I go shopping. The battery cable in your car with the most stuff attached to it is the positive. Usually covered with a plastic cap so nothing will short against it. The positive side of the battery is marked with a red cap or a big plus sign, +,, Remember, red is hot,

Hi!2012 Chrysler Town and Country front wheel drive. Where is the starter. Front, back, side? Is it hard to get to?

Front right as you look down on the engine. Follow the dip stick pipe down to it's bottom, (yellow). It will be to the right of where the pipe enters the engine block, fitted from left to right, (red). See photo.

How to repair reverse gear on1993to1996 saturn transmissions(automatic)

This tip might work on other year transmissions I have only tried it on 1993 to1996 saturns.If your transmission gives out try this.Jack up front end of saturn and put on jack stannds.Pull drivers side front wheel.Pull off plastic cover exposes the side of tranny. remove carter pin and nut holding tie rod end.Remove lower control arm carter pin and nut from lower control arm.Take large screw driver and pry loose lower control arm from strut mount.Loosen brake line holder bolt from fire wall.Make sure everthing is clear from the side of tranny for removel.Loosen bolts all the way arround the side cover then loosen two bolts in the middle of cover and slowly remove cover,make sure you have drain pan underneath to catch fluid leaks out,hopefully you wont tear gasket and wont have to replace it.as you pull cover off there is two tubes that attach to the inside or the cover one on the left will come out with cover one on the right will stay inside because you removed the two center bolts from cover.There wlill be two gears. The one on left has a nut in the center.It is a 23mm thin wall socket. I didnt have one so I took a short 23mm socket, half inch drive and stuck an extension inside it and took to grinder to make thinner. tighten down with impact and put back in reverse order.Fill fluid and start and check, im sure you will have reverse.Its easy.Good luck

I bought a 2004 liberty that was wrecked in front on passenger side the battery is fully charged but i have no poiwer to anything im lost could the sensors on back of core support cause this problem

No power to anything will be the battery or the battery cables. Make SURE the battery is fully charged. Have you tested it with a proper amperage draw? Make sure the battery positive is clean and tight as well as the battery negative hooked up properly from the battery to the vehicle ground and is clean and tight

The front end of my 92honda prelude is shaking and trying to pull hard to the left only when i apply the brakes but when Im not applying the brakes it pulls very little to the right. What would be making...

You need to replace the brake Pads, Turn the Rotors and probably replace the caliper on one of those sides. Either the right side isn't grabbing correctly or the left side is grabbing too much. Test the mater Cylinder for a possible blockage and make sure you bleed both calipers before you start replacing parts.
