Jump start ground? (1 Viewer)

[Teeter]

This feels like a lame question, but I'm fairly certain I have a dead battery (though my confidence is dwindling because I've never had this much trouble before). I can't seem to find a good spot for the ground. Any recommendations on where? I've tried the latch, parts of the frame near the headlights and a few metal mounting brackets next to the engine.

Thanks!

OK, tried for a 5th time and finally got a good ground on the latch receiver. It started.

Can just ground to the negative on the battery, but glad you made it work.

The engine hoist is another option, you can see where one of the ground cable runs from the battery to the motor, but your engine cover may be blocking it

Now to figure out why your battery was dead.
