Post the year, make and model of the vehicle (in new question) and one of us can tell you if it is negative or positive ground.
Batteries are neither positive nor negative ground. It is the circuit itself that determines the common ground. For example: If I have two circuits, one needing 6vdc negative ground and the other needing 6vdc positive ground, the battery would be installed the same way in both circuits (positive terminal on the battery to the positive connection in the circuit, regardless of whether the circuit is positive or negative ground). The reason for labeling the ground as Positive or Negative has more to do with how the circuit is wired up, than the actual voltage source. The explanation for that is beyond the scope of this answer.

Positive Cable from Battery to ground location on frame Negative to Starter Use #2 guage cable for best results Answer No. 2 You don't wire positive ground. Wire negative ground and you will forever be thankful. With a positive ground car everything, like a radio, elect fuel pump, elect fan or anything you add will have to be isolated because everything is made negative ground. You can't wire stuff made negative ground to a positive ground you get the shorts.
