Jump-starting a positive ground vehicle involves connecting the positive terminal of the donor vehicle’s battery to the positive terminal of the recipient vehicle’s battery. Then, connect the negative terminal of the donor vehicle’s battery to a suitable grounding point on the recipient vehicle’s chassis, away from the battery. This method ensures that the electrical current flows correctly through the vehicle’s electrical system, even though the recipient vehicle has a positive ground setup.
To jump-start a car with a positive terminal, follow these steps: First, connect the positive (red) jumper cable clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Then, attach the other end of the positive jumper cable to the positive terminal of the charged battery or the positive jump-start terminal, if available. Next, connect the negative (black) jumper cable clamp to the negative terminal of the charged battery or a suitable grounding point on the vehicle with the dead battery. Finally, start the engine of the charged vehicle and then attempt to start the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery.
To jump-start a car using the earthing point, start by identifying a solid, clean, and unpainted metal surface under the hood or around the engine compartment. Once you’ve found a suitable point, attach one of the jumpstart cable clamps to it.
