9. Now connect the black

negative (

-

) cable to the

good battery’s 
negative (

-

) terminal.

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 part on the engine of
the vehicle with the dead battery.

10. 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.

11. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run

the engine for a while.

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.

14. Be sure to reinstall the remote positive (+) jump

starting terminal plastic cap on your vehicle.
