Do not connect positive (+) to
negative (

) or you will get a

short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts
too. And do not connect the
negative (

) cable to the

negative (

) terminal on the dead

battery because this can cause
sparks.

6. Connect the red positive (+)

cable to the positive (+) terminal
of the dead battery.

Use a remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle has one.

7. Do not let the other end touch

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

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.

Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative (

)

cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part,
or to a remote negative (

)

terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.

9. Connect the other end of the

negative (

) 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, and the chance
of sparks getting back to the
battery is much less.

Your vehicle has a remote
negative (

) terminal for this

purpose.
