anneinparis Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Can I help a friend jumpstart his Volvo? I think my battery is behind the right headlight, yes? But do standard jumper cables work? Or does the whole thing endanger my car? I see on these forums that it is not recommended to get a jumpstart yourself but this seems different. Thanks, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 No, do not jump start another car. It is not just a matter of potentially damaging the electrical components of your or your friend's cars. It is a safety issue -- batteries can explode if the cables are not connected correctly. Let a professional do it. Tow trucks are cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
