the negative (

unpainted metal part on the engine of the vehicle

handles in the jumper cable to touch each other.
If you have the 4.0L V8
engine, your vehicle has
a remote negative terminal,
marked “GND”, located
near the power steering
fluid reservoir. Attach
the cable to the remote
negative terminal provided.
See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the Index
for more information on location.

the engine for a while.

needs service.
