How to Jump Start You Car
If you do not have the contact number to a professional emergency battery jumper like Dave's Mobile Auto Maintenance and your vehicle has died, there are ways to bring it back to life for a short time. Try the following that may get you back on the road.
Safety First
Before you start, make sure that any clothing or jewelry will not interfere with the procedure. Keep loose hair or clothing tied up or back, and no smoking around the batteries.
Clean The Jumper Cables
Make sure that the connectors and wires are in good shape and not rusty. Clean the clamps before you attach them to the car batteries. Even unused clamps will have gunk on them if they have been sitting in your garage or your trunk for an extended period of time.
Park The Other Vehicle Next To The Disabled One
Park the working vehicle next to yours, open both hoods, and make sure the batteries are close enough for the cables to reach.
Check The Connections
Check to make sure all the jumper cable clamps connections have been secured. You should also keep the jumper cables straight, and that they do not interfere with any of the moving engine parts in both vehicles.
Attempt To Start The Dead Vehicle
Try to start the dead car, make the first attempt immediately. If the dead car starts, wonderful, you are on a roll. Let the newly revived car idle for a few minutes. Carefully remove the jumper cables from both cars. Once the cables have been removed, drive the revived car away and invest in a new battery as soon as possible.
