Don’t let the other end of the negative (-) cable 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 on the engine of the
vehicle with the dead battery.
10. Attach the cable at least
18 inches (46 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.
11. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for awhile.
12. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it
won’t start after a few tries, it probably
needs service.
13. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting. Take care that they don’t touch
each other or any other metal.
A. Heavy Metal Engine Part
B. Good Battery
C. Dead Battery
