Fans or other moving engine
parts can injure you badly. Keep
your hands away from moving
parts once the engine is running.
5. Check that the jumper cables
do not have loose or missing
insulation. If they do, you could
get a shock. The vehicles could
also be damaged.
Before you connect the cables,
here are some basic things
you should know. Positive (+)
will go to positive (+) or to a
remote positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one. Negative ( )
will go to a heavy, unpainted
metal engine part or to a remote
negative ( ) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Do not connect positive (+) to
negative ( ) or you will get a
short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts.
Do not connect the negative ( )
cable to the negative ( ) terminal
on the dead battery because this
can cause sparks.
6. Connect the red positive (+)
cable to the positive (+)
terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
7. Do not let the other end touch
metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the
good battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
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.
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.
9. Connect the other end of the
negative ( ) cable 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.
Your vehicle has a remote ( )
terminal for this purpose.
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.
