Further installation is performed in reverse order of the removal.
Make sure the connectors are pushed in all the way and that they engage audibly.
Make sure the wires are not pinched.

- Make sure that no one is inside the vehicle at the time when the battery is connected.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition switched on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
