If you happen to have jumper cables and find someone to help you, use these tips to safely jump your car.
- Best thing to do is keep a set of jumper cables in your trunk or better yet a portable jump starter. If you have a portable jump starter you don’t need to flag someone down to help.
- If you don’t have a portable jump starter. Make sure both cars are in “Park” and the cars are OFF. Also, put the parking break on for both cars.
- Connect one of the red clamps to the positive terminal (“pos” or +) of your battery.
- Connect the remaining red clamp to the positive terminal of your helpers car.
- Now attach the black clamp to the negative terminal on your helpers car.
- Then connect the last black clamp to a section of unpainted metal on your car.
- Have your helper start his engine. Usually you will see the dash your dash light up. Try to start your car.
If your car will not start, double check to make sure that the cables are connected properly. Keep your helpers car running for about 5 minutes and try starting your battery again. If it still won’t start – you need Harrisburg roadside service.
If your car starts, drive around for 15 to 20 minutes to recharge your battery.
