Cadillac 2009 owner manual

Do not connect positive (+) to negative (−) or you will get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts too. And do not connect the negative (−) cable to the negative (−) terminal on the dead battery because this can cause sparks.

6. 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.Do not 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 negative (−) terminal of the good battery. Use a remote negative (−) terminal if the vehicle has one.

Do not let the other end touch anything until the next step. The other end of the negative (−) cable does not go to the dead battery. It goes to a

heavy, unpainted metal engine part or to the remote negative (−) terminal on the vehicle with the dead battery.

9.Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable to the remote negative (−) terminal, on the vehicle with the dead battery.

10.Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for a while.

11.Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs service.
