  1. VERY VERY HELPFUL!! My son's friend left his headlights on all night! My husband wasn't home and my two sons and their friends didn't know how to jump start the car so I looked in my van and found the jumper cables and I went on You Tube and punched in how to jump start a car and yours was the first one to come up. It was my first time doing this and I LOVED LOVED how you explained EVERY step and the tips you added were helpful and good to know!! THANK YOU THANK YOU! I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW AWESOME YOU ARE!

  2. I just totally did the difference thing here. Black cable on (+) and red cable on (–) and it started without any problem. No other metal but used the Battery

  3. Dead Red to Donor Red, Donor Black to Dead Black engine block bare metal. 2 minutes with Donor vehicle on, then turn on Dead vehicle, run for five minutes, both cars on. Then shut off donor vehicle, keep dead vehicle running. Take off cables in reverse order. Dead vehicle to drive around for at least 15 minutes.

  4. Everything was correct until you started and especially when you gave it gas. You might be ok with a older vehical but newer vehicals have many computers and when give it gas your chance frying electronics. I used to do exactly what you did then I stopped when I fried my computer and my dead battery was accompanied by my dead vehicle. Cost me 1,000 dollars between computer and battery not knocking your video just a fyi.

  5. my dad can't drive my mom's car because he had a job one day he had a day off we went for a family trip and my dad tried to start mom's honda accord 6 times and then he jump started it then when we finally got home I told my dad that was amazing and dad said it is called a jump start so I searched it on my phone and I clicked on the video and I watched it one time it said cris fix cool name I searched 1995 ford windstar and I found out the car you have and a week later I went back now I can't stop watching you. 😂😮🎉😊 Congratulations of jump starting your car.

  6. left the interior lamp on in my first car that I've had for a month and I finally knew who to come to for car help. Cheers Chris

  7. Well I am a 54 year old woman and gave jump started enough vehicles. But I guess I’ve been doing it wrong all these years. I never put them on in an orderly fashion. Just as long as Red went to Red and so on. I never thought about a specific order of taking them off. Guess I got lucky all these years. I also attached the black one to the donor car on the black terminal of the battery. I never had any issues. But now that I know the right way I will do it. Thank you😊

  8. Ive always wondered about grounding last negative lead to a part of the car. Would that give the connected part a electrical charge? Meaning hazard to touch

  9. Well done. I’m impressed you explained each small action and why. Now I can show your video to my son and of course he will listen and believe it’s true. Because when I tell him, what does Mom know. Thanks for posting.

  10. And what happens when the generators of the two cars are already charging and still connected? Do any electrical components fail in any car?

  11. The black connection on the dead car should not go onto plastic. it has to ground onto metal. For my car it was the metal nut on the negative side of the battery.
