Grand Cherokee 4WD V8-4.7L (2003)
The battery cables connect the battery terminal posts to the vehicle electrical system. These cables also provide a path back to the battery for electrical
current generated by the charging system for restoring the voltage potential of the battery. The female battery terminal clamps on the ends of the battery
cable wires provide a strong and reliable connection of the battery cable to the battery terminal posts. The terminal pinch bolts allow the female terminal
clamps to be tightened around the male terminal posts on the top of the battery. The eyelet terminals secured to the opposite ends of the battery cable
wires from the female battery terminal clamps provide secure and reliable connection of the battery cables to the vehicle electrical system.
The battery positive cable terminal clamp is die cast onto the ends of two wires. One wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery positive cable
to the B(+) terminal stud of the Power Distribution Center (PDC), and the other wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery positive cable to the
B(+) terminal stud of the engine starter motor solenoid. The battery negative cable terminal clamp is also die cast onto the ends of two wires. One wire
has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery negative cable to the vehicle powertrain through a stud on the right side of the engine cylinder block. The
other wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery negative cable to the vehicle body through a ground screw on the right front fender inner
shield, near the battery.
