I'm putting my 1999 Accord in storage for 8 months.

I would prefer to disconnect cables rather than break a fuse pulling it out.

Which cable connection will disconnect the battery from ALL electricity users in the car.

There are 3 fuse/cable boxes in the car. Driver and Passenger side of dash and
on the engine compartment side of the firewall.

Thanks,

why not just pull the negative cable off the battery?

 

That's always an option.
Pulling fuses is less messy than undoing and redoing battery cables

 

its hard to break fuses just for your fyi and also something about gettting the fuel out of the tank

 

Make sure the battery is fully charged,(if your storing the car in a cold climate remove the battery and put it in a warm place), disconnect the Negative cable, put some Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer in the tank so the fuel won't turn to varnish. You could put the car up on jack stands if you want, to keep the tires from developing a flat spot.

I've seen some very **** vette owners put their cars in large drive-in plastic bags with trays of desiccant dryer in the car and in the bag.

 

Thanks to all. Fuel additive is a must and I'll disconnect the battery.
Too many fuses and I don't know where that one fuse is located to disable everything.

Thanks again
