Ok, get a set of jump cables...

Next, ensure that they are correctly setup make sure you connect red-red first and the negative last!

Get your friend to start up his car, tell him to keep the revs up high say 1200 rpm.

now here's the trick! GRIP the CLIPS HARD ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS OF YOUR CAR AND GET SOMEONE TO START YOUR CAR WHILST IN NEUTRAL.

the clips must be tightly gripped on the battery. Please don't rely on just the spring tension of the clips they are no good otherwise!

And presto the car should jump start after a few goes! GOOD LUCK!

No clicking sounds that means when your contacts touch to ignite your starter it is not working your starter is broken

Reversed polarity on jump start. now wont go into gear or hold charge

OLder cars YEs you can jump it without a battery. But in newer cars that use computers and advanced Eltronic ignition/timing/ful injection you have to have power to the cars computer. without a good battery the car will not run.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03 avalanche power keeps on drawing from somewhere and in the morning its dead. I will jump it and it will run fine!

are you leaving anything plugged in, cellphone charger, radar dector, emergency lights, cb, etc, if so unplug all of it that will kill the battery, if not the case, you got a short somewhere

1997 toyota Rav4 2L will not turn over or start, no clicking sound when turning the key! battery and wires are good and ignition relay switch has been replaced, lights and radio work

Did you check for power going to the starter. could be a connection on that side of things. should be able to pull starter and jump batt to it to see if gear pops out and spins.

The engine wont start in the morning but it takes 2 mins to jump it and will start first time all day.

If your vehicle is petrol powered, something, most likely the starter motor, is drawing too much current and robbing the ignition circuit. Oce started the engine will continue to start all day long, untill next morning. Have the starter motor checked out & make sure your engine oil is not too heavy for your climate too. It would be an idea to have your battery discharge rate tested while you're at it.

99 Suburban wont start

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 1999 GMC YUKON WITH THE 5.7 ENGINE HAVING TO JUMP START ALL THE TIME TO GET IT RUNNING, THE PROBLEM WITH MINE WAS THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED, EVEN WHEN I REMOVED THE PUMP AND TURNED THE KEY FUEL PUMPED OUT BUT WAS NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE TO GET AND KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING.I ALSO TRIED STARTER FLUID, THE ENGINE WOULD RUN UNTIL THE FLUID BURNED OFF.SO THE SOLUTION FOR MY TRUCK WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND NOW ITS STARTING LIKE A CHAMP
