It really doesnt matter, as long as the negative is on a body/eng metal part, and the positive you can hook onto the terminal under the red plastic box below the alternator.

Typically - Yes.
Some GM cars (and Mercedes) have the battery concealed and it offers a remote positive terminal for checking and charging.
You should connect to the positive terminal whenever possible. The negative side of the charger can be connected to any metal on the vehicle. Ground is ground - all over.

2005 Chevy Avalanche. Can anyone help me with instructions on how to install the resister?

Question edited a bit for clarity.
Question moved from Cellphones category.

Not sure what you mean by 'the register'. That is an old fashioned name for a heater radiator? Do you mean something to do with the heating system, like vents of blend door actuators that control heat and cold direction?

or a window regulator.

I have a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche and got a charging system failure code pop up then all my Guages went limp and as fter a min it turned off.. what happened and how do I fix it?

alt died
then in 30min driving the battery dies and engine stops
the engine run off the ALT full time until the ALT dies
causing rapid battery discharge. and engine stalls.

do not replace the alternator with battery NEG lug connected of blow up ALT FUSES, never fun that.
or on newer smarter alts , it shuts down if 1 battery cell of 6 goes open or shorts, this prevents battery explosion.
so we load test the battery first. then if good the alt is bad. or we test the alt next.
this failure is super common , for 100 years.
we test the both carefully

the alt good will put 13v to 15vdc on the 2 battery lugs.
even at idle, and any dmm meter made can see that.

Recharge battery Cadillac Deville 2005

You do not need to remove the battery to charge the battery. When you connect the charger you MUST be careful to connect the charger's positive lead to the positive terminal to the battery and the negative lead to the negative lead to the battery before you turn on the battery charger. Connecting the charger leads the wrong way around most likely damage the vehicle's electronics.
When you finish charging the battery turn off the charger before you disconnect the charger leads. This will prevent arcing between the leads and the battery.

When my 2005 avalanche 1500 is running my lights flicker bad they go from bright to dim outside and inside the cab what could this be?

How is the charging system doing?...if the alternator is ok check for a bad ground at your battery. If thats ok, then the switch or the circuit board is the problem. GM had a big recall that included over 833,000 vehicles...all suvs. Yours may be included. If it is and the recall has not be done, your dealer will do it at no charge.

Call your dealer and find out...have your vin # ready...or you can call GM direct at 800-222-1020
I hope this helps.
