Being able to jump start your car when the battery is dead can easily be done in a few simple steps. Let the Gillman Honda San Benito parts and service team give you a few pointers, in the event you experience a dead battery.
- The first thing to do is get the noses of the two cars as close together as possible so the jumper cables can easily reach.
- Turn off the car, open the hood for both cars, and grab the cables.
- The red clamps on your jumper cables are positive. Clamp one end to the good battery, then to the positive on the dead battery.
- The black clamps are negative. Clamp one to the negative on the battery that is good, then clamp to a metal surface on the car with a dead battery.
- Now you can crank to engine and let it idle a few minutes.
- Crank over the car with the dead battery; it may take a few attempts.
After the car is running, bring it to our San Benito, TX dealership and we will test the battery to determine its charging ability.
