I got away from jumper cables a few years ago. Jump boxes, booster boxes, whatever you want to call them have come a long way and are life savers and you do not have to depend on another vehicle.

This was super helpful at 9:10pm in a walmart parking lot. Helped my daughter and myself ❤

Never turn both vehicles at the same time because you will blow the computer, only turn on the good car the good batery let it run for about 10 minutes then turn off thw vehicle, disconnect the cables and then try to turn on the the car with the bad baterry ALWAYS DISCONECT THE CABLES BEFORE YOUR TURN ON THE BAD BATERY CAR, PLEASE ALWAYS DISCONNECT BEFORE STARTING THE BAD BATERY CAR. MY FATHER ALWAYS SHOW US THAT AND IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS. BLESSINGS TO YALL.

You don't need the live battery car to be running to jumpstart the dead battery car. The correct way is to turn the ignition to position 1 on the dead battery car and wait at least 3 minutes, and then start it with the live battery car being completely off. On older cars, it's OK, but on newer cars that are full of electronics, having both alternators on can cause electrical damage.

My Pop died a few years ago so it’s nice to have a place to go to get Dad advice when you still need it. Thanks for the instructions, sir.

Not all of them will have red connections, you can look at the battery and it should have a + or - symbol next to its posts to label them if both wires are black. A lot of newer cars also have specific posts for jump starting that are away from the battery for reasons as simple as the battery isn't in the engine compartment and for other reasons a lot of people have already said.

Putting the negative jumper cable on the battery can fuck your computer in your car so have it on a piece of metal or some sort of ground then jump the battery so it doesn’t fuck your computer for your car

Black on the dead battery shouldnt go on since it could start a spark making a fire. Find a metal area that is unpainted like a bolt or the frame. This does not go for the live battery.

As a dad who didn’t have a dad and is now a new dad, I’m subscribing so I can tap into your dad knowledge. Thankyou!!

I had to use my cables for the very first time a few days ago after i accidentally left my hazards on for a few hours after parking. I bought my cables several years ago, and they have been sitting in my trunk in a little self-made kit untouched until that point. What a lifesaver because it was freezing out late at night, and i was lucky to have someone come to jump me.

I didn't have a dad to teach me this. This was very simple. Thank you.

This guy is an Angel! No extra talk, just straight 😄😄 dad of the year🎉

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm. Sending to my kids. They know how but it’ll be a refresher.

Get yourself a Noco battery jumper. Better than cables and small like a phone so you can easily put it away in your car and use it when you need it. Plus you don’t have to worry about cables not reaching!

No.
The black on the dead battery goes on a ground.

Thank you! Got it on the first try!! And I really miss my dad so you putting these videos out is awesome!

[texmex]

Yep. I got away from having the old jumper cables. Now I have the cordless cables. 😆

Thank you from a grown man who didn't know how to do this until now.
