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.
Use a remote negative (
-) terminal if the vehicle
has one. If your vehicle has the 4.0L V8 engine, it
has a remote negative (
-) terminal marked “GND.”
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 won’t start after a few tries, it probably
needs service.
NOTICE:
Damage to your vehicle may result from
electrical shorting if jumper cables are removed
incorrectly. To prevent electrical shorting, take
care that the cables don’t touch each other or any
other metal. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
