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 to the remote
negative (
−
) terminal of the dead
battery.
Your vehicle has a remote
negative (
−
) terminal for this
purpose.
10. Now start the vehicle with the
good battery and run the
engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had
the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.
