side of the vehicle to gain
access to the battery cover.

the battery cover and locate

positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal (1) of the

positive (+) terminal (4) of the

negative (−) terminal (3) of the
good battery.

anything until the next step. 10. Connect the other end of the
negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal (2) on the
dead battery.

start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.
