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,
marked GND, on
the vehicle with the
dead battery.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.

If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
