Why won't the jumpers cables start your car when there placed right?
If they are hooked up right and the motor won't turn over, you could have a bad battery cable in the car you are trying to start. Try hooking the negative jumper directly to the motor block, if it starts then, you have a bad ground cable. If not, try hooking the positive jumper to the terminal on the starter.
How do you charge a 2002 BMW 745li Battery?
If it is the one from '02 it is time to replace it! There is a positive terminal under the hood with a plus sign on top...that's your positive terminal and put the neg terminal cable on a non painted area near the engine for grounding...then ensure the other cables are propperly placed on the source / jumper battery for jumping! Once the dead battery is jumped...remove all cables and run the vehicle without lights and radio for more than 15 mins above 1500 rpm!
How to change battery cables on 94 crown vic?
On a 1994 Crown Victoria,first loosen and remove the negative battery cable;then remove the positive cable.You will find that BOTH cables run together through a sheath beside the right hand valve cover.And that is how you buy them from the dealer(in 2002);this may now be different with a parts house(Autozone,Pep Boys,Advance,etc.)There is a small bolt that retains the cables about halfway down the cover(should be a 8 mm or a 10mm head..The negative cable bolts to the back side of the right hand head and might be hard to see but you might have to work by feel;it was as I recall either a 10mm or a 12 mm head.The positive cable runs on down to the starter.If the car is jacked up and placed on a jackstand at least 12 inches high you can reach the starter and remove the nut that retains the cable.The nut is either a 12mm or a 13mm(could also be a 14mm).Then the only thing left is to put the cables on,starting with the positive cable but ONLY after you first clean the battery terminal.Then the negative cable.One word of caution;keep wrenches and other tools clear of the battery terminals or a spark/explosion can occur.
How do you wire three 12 volt batteries to get 36 volts?
The batteries need to be wired in a series configuration. Wire the negative of the first battery to the positive of the second battery, and the negative of the second to the positive to the third. If the batteries were placed in a straight line they will look like train cars, with all positive ends of the batteries pointing in the same direction. The batteries voltages are now added together for three 12 volt batteries making 36 volts.
How does one jump start a vehicle?
In order to jump start a vehicle one will require jumper cables. The cables are then attached with the red cable being clamped onto the positive terminal of the car with the dead battery and the car that is providing the boost. The black clamp is placed on the negative terminal of the car that is boosting and the other end is connected to any unpainted metal surface in the engine compartment of the dead car. The car providing the boost is then started and once the boosting car is started one can start the vehicle needing the boost. Leave the vehicle running and disconnect the cables.
