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 at least

18 inches (45 cm) away from the
dead battery, but not near engine
parts that move.

The electrical connection is just
as good there, and the chance
of sparks getting back to the
battery is much less.

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.
