may not be able to get enoughpower from a single battery inanother vehicle to start yourdiesel engine. If your vehiclehas more than one battery,using the battery that is closerto the starter will reduceelectrical resistance. This islocated on the passenger side,in the rear of the enginecompartment.
3. Get the vehicles close enoughso the jumper cables canreach, but be sure the vehiclesare not touching each other.If they are, it could cause anunwanted ground connection.Yo u w o u l d n o t b e a b l e t o s t a r tyour vehicle, and the badgrounding could damage theelectrical systems.
