Battery wires

Ooops! Got a new battery but didn’t take a picture of the wiring. My manual doesn’t have a wiring diagram. How do I know which to attach to pos and which to neg? 2019 Jay Feather x19H

The negative goes to the frame. Either trace the wire or measure it with an Ohm meter...should show Zero ohms between the cable end and the frame.

Thank you! I got under there to look around and...lo and behold...the wires were labelled! I read so many battery threads that said Jayco didn't label the wiring, that I assumed...

Look first, ask second.

Glad you got it figured out. I placed/made a yellow electrical tape flag to each wire lead. Marked it with a "+" or "-". Makes it quick to figure out each spring.
