-
First of all, you will need some kind of battery charger. It can be any type of battery charger with a positive and negative lead (Red and Black grips).
-
You may also need an extension cord in order to connect the battery charger to a nearby power outlet.
-
Before beginning the procedure, make sure all your lights are off.
-
Unlatch your hood by pulling on this level, located underneath the steering wheel.
-
Reach under the hood and find the lever that releases the hood. push up on it and lift the hood.
-
Unlatch the metal rod and place it in the designed area so it will hold up the hood.
-
Remove the cover off the fuse box by pressing the 2 tabs on the bottom and left side of the box
-
The second tab is located on the lowest part of the fuse box, and can be rather hard to see. The orange arrow points to where the tab is located.
-
Flip open the plastic red cover with a plus sign on it.
-
This is the positive terminal, and this is where the red lead is going to attach to.
-
Attach the positive RED lead to the positive terminal
-
If there is a small spark, it is okay, there is nothing wrong with that.
-
DO NOT let the red and black leads touch each other. This may cause an electric shock.
-
Attach the negative (black lead) to some metal surface, preferably a large bolt.
-
Once again, if there is a small spark, it is completely okay.
-
Once your leads are connected, you can lower the hood (Don't slam it down) so that the cables do not get damaged.
-
Leave your car to charge for at least 3 hours, or even overnight! keep in mind that if you only charge it for 2 or 3 hours, you will need to drive it around (or just leave the engine running) for another hour so that the engine will finish the charge.
