lo all,

Where is the earth connection located for the battery on the RRS?

Thanks

James

Item 8 is the Battery Negative Cable.

Thanks Bobby.

Does this cable hold the earth connection as well?

HUH? You lost me there!

Bobby - I'm looking at a slightly different diagram published : Apr 30, 2004 that shows the opposite cable to be the -ve? I think the OP should check carefully before disconnecting.

The battery is located between the bulkhead and the secondary bulkhead, in a protective box, on the passenger side. It
sits in a tray and is secured with clamp plates and bolts.
The battery terminal posts allow for the battery cables to be connected with clamp type connections. The battery positive
terminal uses a pyrotechnic attachment, which detaches the battery cable in the event of a crash of a severity to trigger
the airbags. For additional information, refer to Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System)
All models are fitted with Delphi lead-calcium, maintenance free battery. Each battery is similar in construction with the
battery rating varying according to application. There are two different battery sizes:
�� H7 - All petrol variants H8 - TdV6
�� H8 - TdV6
The battery uses 'calcium expanded' technology, which has both positive and negative plates with grids expanded from a
strip lead-calcium alloy.
The battery is semi-sealed. Each casing has a vent to allow for thermal expansion and to vent oxygen and hydrogen
gases, which are produced under certain charging conditions.

This is a 2006 version...

Can't help thinking one of them is a typo - maybe the older one I'm referring to - as the cable looks near identical to that on the right of your picture but is labelled as a -ve!

Sun is shining so may go outside and check under the bonnet later

OP does not state what MY their car is?
