How to jump start a vehicle safely

You have a dead battery and need a jump start. There is the right way and the wrong way to accomplish a jump start safely. Because of the potentially severe hazards due to improper use of jumper cables it must be done correctly. Auto batteries contain Sulphuric Acid which can blind you, or at the very least burn your skin. Also auto batteries vent off Hydrogen Gas which is highly explosive even from the slightest spark. Because of this danger it is critical to attach the jumper cables in a precise sequence. 1. Park the vehicle with the GOOD battery close to the vehicle with the BAD battery but do not let the vehicle touch each other. Make sure the cables are not routed so as to touch any moving parts, such as a fan blade. 2. Attach the jumper cable Positive + terminal to the GOOD battery Positive + terminal. 3. Attach the other end of the jumper cable Positive + terminal to the BAD battery Positive + terminal. 4. Attach the Negative - jumper cable terminal to the GOOD battery Negative - terminal. 5. Attach the last jumper cable Negative - terminal to a heavy metal ground part of the engine and NOT to the dead battery Negative - terminal. Reason being this last connection will cause a spark, and you do not want a spark next to the battery where it could ignite the Hydrogen. 6. If the engine of the donor vehicle with the good battery was not left running, start the engine and let it run for 2-3 minutes to put a charge in the bad battery. 7. Start the vehicle with the BAD battery and then remove the jumper cables from the batteries in the exact opposite order you installed them.

Saturn jumper cables hooked up backwards

Try charging the battery more. Even though your lights may come one, starting a vehicle requires massive amounts of amperage from the batter. It's possible that your jumper cables aren't a thick enough guage to supply enough power as well. Sometimes the vehicle you're jumping from might not have enough power to support your vehicle's starting power requirements.

Crossed jumper cables when jumping battery on a 03 Chrysler town and country. What kind of fuse am I looking for fusible link or mini fuse?

Crossing the battery leads to one major fault and that is the destruction of the CPU in the ECM unit. The fusible links are either cloth covered wire next to the battery or ceramic type fuse holders in a block next to the battery.

My 1990 mercury grand marquis was boosted wrong

Might need to check the main circuits for a blown fuse or fuseable link.
There is a fuse wire between the alternator and battery.

Crossed jumper cables and now no power

Ouch.. you need to take this bike to a professional.. the amperage generated by a car battery are WAY TOO high for a motorcycle wiring system. There is no way to tell what you have fried with the EXCESS AMPERAGE AND "GOING IN BACKWARDS" CAUSES MORE ISSUES.. Good luck!!

I put my jumper cables on backwards and when i turned my truck off it now has no power

what vehicle has no power? the truck that was being jumped or the vehicle that was doin the jump? I would check all relays and fuses that have to do with ignition and PCM,DLC. ( ALSO TRY A DIFFERENT BATTERY ) The cross jump could have welded the internals of the battery causing the battery to have a crossed polarity and is ruined, leaving the battery with no charge forever.
