What are the steps involved in jump starting a vehicle?

What will be an ideal response?


Turn on the heater blower motor in the vehicle with the dead battery. Turning on the blower motor will allow it to help absorb any damaging voltage spikes when the key is turned to the "on" position to start the engine. Turn off all other switches and lights. Connect the hot cable first and the ground cable last. When attaching the ground cable from the booster battery to the dead battery, do not connect the other end of the negative cable to the dead battery. Connect it instead to a ground on the engine. A metal bracket or the end of the negative battery cable that is attached to the block will do.

As soon as the dead vehicle starts, disconnect the jumper cable immediately from the block. Remove the cables in the reverse order that they were installed.
