Do not let the other end touch anything until the
next step. The other end of the negative ( ) cable
does not go to the dead battery. It goes to a
heavy, unpainted metal engine part or to a remote
negative ( ) terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.
8. Now connect the black
negative ( ) cable to
the negative ( )
terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
negative ( ) terminal
if the vehicle has one.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery.
If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
9. Connect the other end
of the negative ( ) 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, and the
chance of sparks
getting back to the
battery is much less.
