As long as you connect the jumper cables correctly and remove them as soon as the car with the dead battery starts, you will do no harm. Remember connect the positive cables first and the negative last. Disconnect negative first and positive last.

The high beam indicator in your 1996 Dodge Neon stays on when the car is shut offwhat could the problem be I bought a new battery and it won't hold a charge but after boosting runs fine.?

The answer could possibly be that you're a retard. If the vehicle is off and a light is still on, the light will require ELECTRICITY! For the love of God, your battery is fine BUT IT WONT BE IF YOU KEEP KILLING IT AND BOOSTING IT! I suggest taking the car in to someone who knows what they're talking about. You'd probably be better off getting rid of the car, as neons suck a lot of dick.
