Attach the 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,
but the chance of
sparks
getting back
to
the battery is
much
less.

Now
start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11.
Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery.
If
it won’t start after a few tries, it probably
needs service.
u,
Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting.

each other or any other metal.
