Oldsmobile 2004 Bravada - Manual (Page 309)

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.
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 engine part or to the remote
negative (
−
) terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery. The remote negative (
−
) terminal on
your vehicle is located on the front engine lift
bracket and is marked “GND.”
9. Connect the other end
of the negative (
−
)
cable to the remote
negative (
−
) terminal on
the vehicle with the
dead battery.
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 won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice: If the jumper cables are removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting may occur and
damage the vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Remove the jumper
cables in the correct order, making sure that the
cables do not touch each other or other metal.
