Locate your Jumper Cables. Locate your battery under the hood and find the battery’s positive and negative terminals. The positive terminal should have a red cover or can be signified by a + sign. Making sure none of the clamps touch one another, attach the red clamp to the dead battery’s positive terminal. Do not attach the black clamp to the battery’s negative terminal as it could cause hazardous sparks. Attach the other red clamp to the charged battery’s positive terminal, and then attach the black clamp to its negative terminal. Now you want to attach the other black clamp to a solid metal surface in the engine compartment of the car with a dead battery. Start the car which has a charged battery and let it idle for a couple of minutes.
