dead battery CHEVROLET TRACKER 1995 Owners Manual

I 5. Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose or
missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock.
The vehicles could be damaged,
too.
6. Positive (+) goes to positive (+) and negative (-)
goes to negative (-) or a metal engine part. Connect
the red positive
(+) cable to the positive (+) terminal
of the vehicle with the dead battery. Use a remote
positive
(+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
7. Don’t let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the
positive
(+) terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
8. Now connect the black negative (-) cable to the good
battery’s negative
(-) terminal. Don’t let the other
end touch anything until the next step.

The other end of the negative cable doesn't go to the
dead battery. It goes to a heavy unpainted metal part
on the engine
of the vehicle with the dead battery.
Attach the cable at least
18 inches (45 cm) away
from the dead battery, but not near engine parts that
move. The electrical connection
is just as good there,
but
the chance of sparks getting back to the battery is
much less.
Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it won't
start after a few tries, it probably needs service.
12. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting. Take care that they don't touch
each other
or any other metal.
