5. 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.
6. Connect the red
positive (+) cable to the
remote positive (+)
terminal location on the
vehicle with 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 location of the
vehicle with the
good battery. Use a
remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.
