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.

Do not 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.

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.

10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run

the engine for a while.

11. Press UNLOCK on the RKE transmitter to disarm

your security system (if equipped).

12. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If

it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
