When you re hanging a chandelier or any other ceiling light first find the 3 wires coming out of the hole in the ceiling where the light will go.

Black battery cable positive or negative.

Identify a metal ground. Attach the negative cable last. The negative cable is black. Ensure that the connections on both ends are secure by trying to move the battery around.

But as was mentioned the positive cable may also appear to be black. Never connect the red cable to the negative battery terminal or a vehicle with a dead battery. The black cable is the negative part and the red cable is the positive part. It attaches to the battery terminal post marked with a plus sign the letter p or the word pos.

If it shifts at all check all the clamps and check the tightness of the cables. That s why you should always look for the plus and minus signs stamped into the battery case. The red one is positive the black one is negative. There are also positive and negative cables in the jumper cable set.

The negative battery cable is almost always black in color. The jumper cables are colored black and red with each end having alligator clips made of copper that attach the leads of each car s battery. Identify the black positive wire on a ceiling light fixture. Recognize that the black wire is the positive one the white wire is the negative one and the green wire is the ground.

The positive cable is red. Connect the positive end first.
