Jump Start
How do you jump start a 1989 Toyota Camry using a vehicle with a side terminal battery?
Hi;
We are trying to jumpstart a 1989 Toyota Camry, but the battery we are jumping it with (that of a 1996 Buick Regal) has side post battery construction. We cannot find the negative end; we kind of need it for this to work. How can we jump start it?
Thanks
as far as i know batteries were built the same , one terminal is positive and the other is negative. Not to be mistaken to know w/c is positve or nagative. Use voltmeter tester , there u have it.Do you know how to use the tester to test the batt. Tester has two leads, the red stands for positve , and the black stands for negative or common.Now if the polariy of the batt. you have is not visible at all..here’s how to use ur tester(vom). simply connect the two leads to the batt. terminal..pretending you’re using a digital meter ha. so the reading must be positive , if not revese it..and if reads positive..there u are..you are at the right connection.red is pos. and black is neg or common…
hope can help…
