the engine for one to two minutes. If your vehicle
has the high idle option, use it.
11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery.
If it won't start after a few tries, it probably
needs service.
12. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting. Take care that they don't touch
each other or any other metal.
9. 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.
