9. Now connect the black negative
(-}
cable to the
good battery's negative
(-)
terminal.
Don't let the
other end touch anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative cable doesrz
't
go to the
dead battery. It goes to a heavy unpainted metal part
on the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery.
11. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine
for a
while.
12. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If
it
won't start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
10. Attach the cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away
from the dead battery, but not near engine parts that
move. The electrical connection is just
as good
there, but
the
chance of sparks getting back to the
battery is much less.
13. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting. Take care that they don't touch
each other or any other metal.
