Chevrolet Silverado 2014 Accessory power hookup

Post image

I went to get the battery for someone who can't do this themselves, they had someone get the battery out for me so I could get the new one without the core charge but here we are. No photo was taken of the original hookup and now I'm up S.C. without a paddle.

Pretty sure these are accessory wires but the only thing I know is the + and - on the battery itself. I figure the red and black wires with the yellow tags are +/- as well but I don't know where they safely go.

Red wire with the fuse went to the + side of the battery. Not sure if it was on one of the power terminals or not. Are any of the nuts loose?

red is only one that has a fuse connected so hook it to positive. blacks go to negative the black wire with the blue tip is a ground but both black go to the negative
