No, it is not possible to jump start a car with the positive cable connected first and the negative cable connected second. The correct order is to connect the positive cable first and then the negative cable.
On a vehicle the red is positive (+) and the black is negative (-). If they are not color coded the cable connected to the starter is positive and the cable connected to the engine or chassis is negative.
Red is positive. If they are both black then the cable that is connected to ground is negative and the other cable is positive.
That is how you connect 2 batteries in parallel. Like terminals are connected together. With this arrangement you still just have 12 volts, but the amperage doubles. You should also see the 2 positive terminals connected together. If not, then you may have a combination of parallel and series.
On the battery is marked - or +. The red cable is positive and the black is negative.
The battery post positive terminal is where you connect the positive cable. Connect the negative cable to anyplace on the engine or chassis. Connect positive first and remove it last.
No, using a red jumper cable is not positive for jump-starting a car battery. The red jumper cable is typically used to connect the positive terminals of the two batteries.
When jump starting a vehicle, the red (positive) cable should be connected first.
The battery cable that is grounded, is connected to the body of the vehicle. Sometimes it is the negative cable & sometimes it is the positive. You need to check which cable is connected to the body of the vehicle.
Then the component will not work or will be unreliable.
its connected to your positive battery cable.
The positive cable is connected to the alternator and starter. The negative cable is connected to the chassis or engine ground. Positive is red and negative is black. The positive post is slightly larger than the negative post.
