How to jumpstart your car

IKnowing how to jumpstart a car is something every vehicle owner should know how to do . Jumpstarting a car isn ’ t hard if you have a set of jumper cables . Here ’ s what to do .

• Pull both cars close enough to each other to connect the jumper cables . Set the parking brakes in each vehicle .
• Open the hood of each vehicle and locate the battery . Identify the positive ( red ) and negative ( black ) terminals . If they ’ re overly corroded , clean them with a wire brush .
• Connect the red clamp of the jumper cable to the red positive terminal on the dead battery .
• Connect the red clamp on the other end of the cable to the working battery .
• Connect the black negative clamp to the black terminal on the working battery .
• Connect the other end of the black clamp to the black terminal on the dead battery or any other unpainted metal surface of the car .
• Start the car with the working battery . Wait a minute or two before starting the vehicle with the dead battery .
• If the car starts , let it run for a while to recharge the battery . If your vehicle doesn ’ t start , you may have an issue with your starter . In this case , you should call your local automotive shop for help . n
