We&#8217;ll show you exactly how to jumpstart your car with this guide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While jumping a dead battery is super simple, you&#8217;d be surprised by the number of men who have no idea how to do it. And even if you have learned how to jump start a car before, it can be easy to forget what cables go where. Positive on negative? Ground the positive cable on the car with the good battery? Red cable is negative?<\/p>\n<p>To help you avoid looking like a putz when asked to jump start a car and to help prevent you from shocking yourself when you do it, this article offers a&nbsp;complete multi-media&nbsp;rundown on how to jump start a dead car battery. But first&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Tell If Your Battery Is Dead<\/h2>\n<p>Before you try jump starting a car, you need to determine that the battery is the reason the car isn&#8217;t starting up. If you turn the ignition and hear the engine cranking, a dead battery isn&#8217;t your problem and jump starting it won&#8217;t do a darn thing. However, if you turn the key and the car does absolutely nothing, then there&#8217;s a good chance you have a dead battery on your hands and jumping it may be your ticket to getting back on the road.<\/p>\n<h3>Your 60-Second Illustrated Crib Sheet to Jump Starting a Car<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_27115\" style=\"width: 569px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27115\" class=\"wp-image-27115\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/\/2012\/08\/Jump-Start-3.jpg\" alt=\"How to jump start a car illustration diagram.\" width=\"559\" height=\"457\"\/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/\/2012\/08\/Jump-Start-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to see the full-size illustration.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>To&nbsp;Jump Start a Car With Cables, Follow These Steps:<\/h2>\n<p>1.

Many a man has broken out in a sweat wondering if he is about to make a wrong move and toast himself to a crisp. Here&#8217;s the good news: It&#8217;s probably impossible to electrocute yourself from jump starting a car. The battery might give you a big shock, but the voltage is too low to penetrate your skin and put you down for the count.<\/p>\n<p>But no one wants to be on the receiving end of a zap, no matter how mild. So come up with some sort of device to help you remember which color goes where. I personally think: red = blood = life = positive; black = death = negative.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Jump Start a Car Without Cables<\/h2>\n<p>If you have a standard transmission car, you can jump start that bad boy without using cables. Here&#8217;s how you do it:<\/p>\n<p>1. Find a stretch of clear downhill road.<\/p>\n<p>2. Fully depress the clutch and put the car in second gear.<\/p>\n<p>3. Turn the ignition to on.<\/p>\n<p>4. Take your foot off the brake and start rolling down the hill, leaving the clutch fully depressed.<\/p>\n<p>5. Coast down the hill until you reach 5-7 miles per hour.<\/p>\n<p>6. Release the clutch quickly. You should feel the engine turn and start. If it doesn&#8217;t start the first time, depress the clutch and release it again.<\/p>\n<p>7. If you don&#8217;t have a hill, get some of your buddies to give you a push and follow the steps above.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Which card do you put the jumper cables on first?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The car with the dead battery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Should your car be running when jump starting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, do not turn the car until you&#8217;ve got the cables on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you remove the jumper cables while the car is running?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can if you want.
