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.
Notice: If the jumper cables are removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting may occur and
damage the vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Remove the jumper
cables in the correct order, making sure that the
cables do not touch each other or other metal.
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.
