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. Do not 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.
Do not let the other end touch anything until the
next step. The other end of the negative (
− ) cable
does not go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or to a remote
negative (
− ) terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.
9. Connect the other end of the negative (
−
) cable
to the negative (
−
) terminal location on the vehicle
with the dead battery. Your vehicle has a remote
negative (
−
) terminal for this purpose. It is
marked GND.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery.
If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
