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 negative (
−
) or you’ll
get a short that would damage the battery and
maybe other parts too. And don’t 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. Don’t 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.
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 engine part or to a remote
negative (
−
) terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
