it to the positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one.

9. Now connect the black negative (

) cable to

the negative (

) terminal of the good battery.

Use a remote negative (

vehicle has one. The vehicle’s remote
negative (–) terminal is marked GND.

to a heavy unpainted metal engine part of the
vehicle with the dead battery, or to a remote
negative (–) terminal if the vehicle has one.

other end of the
negative (

) cable

to the remote

12. Now start the vehicle with the good battery

and run the engine for a while.

probably needs service.
