If you're a driver in the Williston, VT area, chances are you've experienced a dead car battery at some point. When this happens, jump-starting your vehicle can help get you back on the road. Here's a step-by-step guide to safely jump-start your car.
First, make sure you have a set of jumper cables and a vehicle with a functioning battery. Park the working vehicle close to the car with the dead battery, but don't let them touch. Turn off both vehicles completely.
Next, connect the red jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery. Then, connect the other end of the red cable to the working battery's positive (+) terminal. Connect the black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the working battery, and then to an unpainted metal surface in the car's engine compartment with the dead battery. Start the working vehicle and let it run for a few minutes before trying to start the other car. If it doesn't start, there may be a more serious issue. In that case, schedule your service at Earthycars in Williston, VT, and our technicians can diagnose the problem.
