2007 SAAB 9-7X battery

{CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can
injure you badly. Keep your hands away
from moving parts once the engine is
running.
5. Check that the jumper cables do not have
loose or missing insulation. If they do, you
could get a shock. The vehicles could
be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables, here are some
basic things you should know. Positive (+)
will go to positive (+) or to a remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle has one. Negative (−)
will go to a heavy, unpainted metal engine part
or to a remote negative (−) terminal if the
vehicle has one. Do not connect positive (+)
to negative (−) or you will get a short that
would damage the battery and maybe other
parts too. And do not connect the negative (−)
cable to the negative (−) terminal on the
dead battery because this can cause sparks.6. Connect the red
positive (+) cable to
the positive (+)
terminal of the dead
battery. Use a
remote positive (+)
terminal if the
vehicle has one.
7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect
it to the positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one.

8. Now connect the black negative (−) cable to
the negative (−) terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote negative (−) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything until
the next step. The other end of the negative (−)
cable does not go to the dead battery.
It goes to a heavy, unpainted metal engine
part or to the remote negative (−) terminal on
the vehicle with the dead battery. Your
vehicle has a remote negative (−) terminal,
marked GND, for this purpose.The remote negative (−) terminal is located
on the front engine lift bracket for the
4.2L L6 engine, and on the accessory drive
bracket for the 5.3L V8 engine.
9. Connect the other end of the negative (−)
cable to the remote negative (−) terminal
on the vehicle with the dead battery.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery
and run the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead
battery. If it will not start after a few tries,
it probably needs service.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer
rst. Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage would not
be covered by your warranty. Some add-on
electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s battery,
even if your vehicle is not operating.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, seeServicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 80.
Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses, one
for each headlamp, in the fuse block. An electrical
overload will cause the lamps to turn off. If this
happens, have your headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem, be sure to get it xed.
