Couldn't start it, only heard relay clicking. Was able to successfully jump start the Jeep with a 2012 Nissan Versa. Why wouldn't the Mazda jump start the Jeep.

Pro grade booster cables cost a fortune so bad most places don't even have them on hand - hundred$$. Just saw some junk set for under $10 so that's an issue. Aside from that it's much better NOT to use other vehicles but rather a jumper box then immediately charge the victim car's battery with a charger and test it out and all connections along with its charging system, T (This post was edited by Tom Greenleaf on Feb 14, 2014, 1:23 AM) Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 14, 2014, 3:01 AM Post #3 of 3 (1296 views) Re: Jump Start Mystery Sign In Yes, as Tom advised, it is very risky using a car to jump start these days. You can do thousands of dollars in damage to the donor car very easily. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
