Jumping a car can be a lifesaver when your battery dies. You'll need jumper cables and another vehicle with a good battery. First, connect the red cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then to the positive of the good battery. Next, connect the black cable to the negative terminal of the good battery and attach the other end to an unpainted metal surface on the car with the dead battery. Have you had to jump a car before, or is this your first time?
