6. Remove the terminal
cover and 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.
Don't let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative (−) cable
doesn't go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal 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.
