Just got a simple question, which wire do I remove from the battery to basically reset the computer after each mod I install, the positive (red) or negative (black)?

Thanks for your help in advance.

You should remove the negative (black) cable only. Leave it off for ten minutes then put it back on and tighten.
 






I usually take both off...also to fully reset the computer it should be disconnected for at least 15 minuts
 






Does it really matter if I JUST remove the negative (black) battery terminal, or will either one suffice?
