Where do you attach the negative cable of the dead cars battery if the dead cars battery is in the trunk?

@Kathy I believe the lighter socket jump starters only work in certain situations because they slowly return power to your battery. If you have a dead battery then this type of jump starter won’t work.

I’d recommend checking out our jump starter reviews for a look at a jump starter that can rescue you in almost any situation.

Thanks!

Is there any risk to either car’s electrical system if I try to jump start a car with a cable that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket of both vehicles? I think I posted this question once before but I don’t see any response so perhaps I didn’t submit it correctly. I hope that you can help me.

It was suggested that, while yes a jump can fry a computer in a car, that while the article says to turn headlights off, TURN THEM ON, before you connect the Jump leads, on both the host vehicle, and the recipient. Because Electricity takes the path of LEAST resistance, Any surge through the car would *FIRST* go through the headlights, as they are on, and the ECU is spared a nasty shock.

Headlights will take more punishment than the ECU, and are usually easier and cheaper to replace if they POP !.
