battery wiring 96 beaver monterey

[Chris W Cook]

if any one has a 1996 beaver Monterey I could use some help. I recently rebuilt my battery tray slides and I forgot to note some wires on the chassie side. I am looking for info on 3 small red wires and 3 small white wires. are the reds + and the whites - or are all 3 +? thanks in advanced for any info.

On my '96 Safari those red wires are connected to the positive, (+), and the whites are connected to the negative, (-) .
But that does not mean that yours are the same.

It would be easy to determine if the white wires are ground

A simple continuity check could be done

Can you please explain how a "simple continuity check" would tell you if the white wires... which are currently NOT CONNECTED to the chassis battery ...are "ground"...and therefore should be connected to the negative, (-), post of the chassis battery?
Thanks
