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 the remote negative (
-
)
terminal on the vehicle with the dead battery.
9. Connect the other end of
the negative (
-
) cable to
the remote negative (
-
)
terminal, marked GND,
on the vehicle with the
dead battery.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and
run the engine for awhile.
11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it
won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs service.

Damage to your vehicle may result from
