How should you check and replace battery cables on Mercedes-Benz C230?

Periodically check the whole length of each battery cable to avoid damage, broken/burnt insulation, and corrode since improper connections may cause starting problems as well as a decrease in engine power. Inspect cable-terminal connections to look for breaks, loose wire strands, and corrosion; white fluffy deposits under insulation are a sign of corrosion and replacement is required. You should always connect the cable to the negative battery terminal first and then last, not to short by accident. Always make sure you carry the old cables when buying or the replacement is exactly the same, since the positive cables are generally red and made bigger, whereas the ground cables are made smaller and black in color. Wipe threads using a wire brush, then put light coat of corrosion inhibitor or petroleum jelly on solenoid and ground terminals to avoid future corrosion. Connect the cabling to the solenoid connection or ground connection and screw the mounting nut or bolt firmly. Make sure the new cable can be extended to the battery post without stretching, the positive cable is installed first, then the negative. To install a ground cable, take the battery cover off, disconnect the ground cable at the negative terminal and right strut tower, and reconnect on the and in reversed order. On the positive cable and alternator/starter cable, first disconnect the negative terminal, followed by the positive terminal, dislodge the cable grommet, and then follow the cable all the way to the starter and the alternator and disconnect. And last of all there is installation; the opposite of removal.
