Positive battery cable

Post by sampleb58 » Wed Feb 05, 2025 12:24 am

Greetings. Working on 07 Z4m and wondering where the cable in the trunk that runs to the engine bay connects to the battery terminal. How do you gain access to the nut to install a new cable assembly?

Welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

I'm just wondering why you'd want to install a new cable assembly?

From which side? I have just disconnnected mine as I need to remove the firewall carpet, but the two main cables attach at the battery terminal.

The terminal that connects to the positive post will not tighten enough to get good contact. I bought a replacement assembly. The cable end that goes through the trunk floor is the one i cannot find.
