How to properly remove and replace battery cables on Audi A4?

Always make sure to disconnect the cable with the negative battery terminal first and connect last to prevent shorting the battery accidentally with the tool that is used to loosen the cable clamps; even when changing the cable with the positive destination, disconnect the negative cable. Unplug the old cables on the battery and trace each to the opposite end and unplug after which the routing of each cable should be remembered to make sure that the cables are properly installed. When buying new cables, it is essential to take the old ones with them since it is important to have the same components. Wipe the threads of the solenoid or ground connection with a wire brush to remove rust and corrosion and apply a light coat of battery terminal corrosion inhibitor or petroleum jelly to the threads to avoid future corrosion. Connect the cable to the solenoid or ground connection and screw down the mounting nut or the bolt. Make sure that you do not overstretch a new cable connecting it to the battery post before then connecting the cable to the positive battery terminal and then connect the ground cable to the negative battery terminal.
