When disconnecting a battery to do an under the dash electrical project (I'm new at this), which wire do you disconnect on the battery. The hot one? Both?

Thanks,

SurfinUSA

Disconnect the negative.

DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE.

All workshop books will tell you to disconnect the negative cable to protect your electrical parts.

The negitive should do the trick but if you are unsure take off the positive as well.
