8.
Now connect the black
negative
(-)
cable
to
the
negative
(-)
terminal
of the good battery.
Use a remote negative
(-1
terminal
if
the vehicle
has one.
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.
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.
IO.
Now start the vehicle with the good battery ana
run the engine for a while.
11.
Try
to
start the vehicle that had the dead battery.
If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice:
Damage to your vehicle may result from
incorrectly.
To
prevent electrical shorting, take care
that the cables don’t touch each other or any
other metal. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
