The positive or negative lead? The negative or minus goes to the metal part of the engine or chassis as a ground. the positive side typically goes to the starter solenoid or alternator, depending. I''''m not a true mechanic, just trying to get you a fast answer. USUALLY THE SHORTER WIRE IS GROUND, OR NEGATIVE, but not always.
- means ground, earth, no voltage, no potential. + means hot, 12volts present between it and ground. You should not get sparks attaching a ground wire, unless there''''s a heck of a lot of current being drawn, which shouldn''''t be the case.
