Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose or
missing insulation.
If they do, you could get a
shock. The vehicles could also be damaged, too.
Before you connect the cables, here are some
basic things you should know. Positive
(+) will go to
positive
(+) or to a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one. Negative (-) will go to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or to a remote
negative
(-) terminal if the vehicle has one.
Don’t connect positive
(+) to the negative (-) or you
will get a short that would damage the battery
and maybe other parts, too. And don’t connect the
negative
(-) cable to negative (-) terminal on
the dead battery because this can cause sparks.

Connect the red
positive
(+) cable to the
remote positive

has one.

touch metal. Connect it
to the positive
(+)
terminal location of the
vehicle with the
good battery. Use a
remote positive
(+)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.
