ok then.. take one side of the red part of the cables and attach it to the red part (+) on your battery terminal( the metal nub that sticks out of the battery). then take the black part and clip it on to the black (-) part of your battery. then take the second black clip and attach it to black part(-) of the good battery, then take the red clip and attach it to the red part (+) of the good battery. Make sure thecar that you are jumping from ( not your car ) is running first. once all the cables are connected wait 5 minutes,,, get in your car . and turn the key.. hopefully it will start the car... if not make sure you get your windows up. once it is running disconnect all the cables and make sure the end clips dont touch


or call someone for help

like, you'll need a second car with a strong working battery
like... hook up the cables to the dead battery... like red to red, black to black
then, like, hook up the cables to the good battery with the car running
next, like, try to start the dead car. you may need to, like, have someone in the car that's running to, like, give it a bit of gas to, like, get the RPMs up a bit.

Once the car is running, like, let it run for 20 minutes or so... to, like, get some juice charged back into the battery.

It's scary when the ends touch when you're taking them off. Found that out a few days ago jumping some old lady's car. Nearly scared the sh1t out of me. :p

1. Turn off the ignition and all accessories on both cars; set parking brakes; put transmissions in park (automatic) or neutral (manual).

2. Connect the cables in this order:

• Connect one cable to the positive terminal of the weak battery.
• Connect that cable's other end to the positive terminal of the good battery.
• Connect another cable to the negative terminal of the good battery.
• Connect the other end of that cable to a ground on the car that won't start. Check the owner's manual to see if there's a special ground terminal under the hood. Otherwise, the engine block is a good ground. Do not attach the cable to the negative terminal of the faulty battery.

3. Start the engine of the car with the good battery and let it idle.

4. Start the car with the bad battery.

5. After you get the jumped car going, disconnect the negative cable from its ground connection, then from the terminal on the good battery. Next, disconnect the positive cable from both batteries. If the charging system warning lamp stays lit and the engine dies, another jump-start won't help. If the light goes out, there's a good chance the battery will recharge as you drive.

Dude - for the LOVE OF GOD quit spelling "like" wrong. :rolleyes:

Better yet - quit using "like" altogether.

-S.S.-
It is teh intraweb, people spell **** wrong, get used to it. The constant haranguing of the RM's english majors is really fricking annoying. If it is that important to you take it to a PM or just put the person on your ignore list.
