5. Check that the jumper cables don't have loose or
missing insulation. If they do, you could get a
shock. The vehicles could be damaged too.
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. Don't
connect positive (+) to negative (-) or you'll get
a short that would damage the battery and maybe
other parts too. And don't 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 of the
dead battery.
Use
a
remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.
7. Don't 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.
