Do not connect positive (+) to negative (
−
) or you
will get a short that would damage the battery
and maybe other parts too. And do not connect the
negative (
−
) cable to the negative (
−
) terminal on
the dead battery because this can cause sparks.
6. Connect the red
positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal of
the vehicle with the
dead battery. Use a
remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.
7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to
the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
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 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, on the vehicle with
the dead battery.
