Welcome to 'How It Works'. In this episode we’ll be showing you how to jumpstart your vehicle correctly,
should you accidentally run your battery flat.
Firstly, open the bonnet… Next, locate the positive and negative battery terminals and attach the positive end of your jump cable to the positive battery post...then the negative end to the negative earth.
This is where they are located on the Transit Connect.
For Ranger they can be found here...and here.
For Transit Custom here...and here.
And for Transit here...and here.
It is incredibly important to connect to the correct areas or you could risk damaging your vehicle.
For the Transit and Transit Custom there are also stickers in the engine bay to help you.
Once your cables are connected properly, start your support vehicle or turn on your power supply and let it run for a few minutes.
Then, start your vehicle...and you should be good to go.
For more information you can always refer to your vehicle handbook or local Ford Dealer.

A great help , was looking for the negative connection and this video is the only one that shows the location . Thumbs up !

[@ag-j9552]

very helpful, for a transit custom lots of US based videos showing the negative as an awkward side bolt

[@thatfoxygamer5644]

This is very helped because our Ford focus SE 2007 died yesterday it will not start and that’s very helped jumpstart the car

[@grumpygramps1451]

There are some people who aren’t sure which battery terminal to connect the other end of the cables to. They would be watching this video hoping it would explain, No !

[@lewiscole6721]

If you don’t know this you shouldn’t be allowed to drive🤣

[@grumpygramps1451]

@ nonsense, you’re implying that only mechanically minded people should be allowed to drive.

[@lewiscole6721]

@@grumpygramps1451 no I’m implying people with no common sense should not be allowed to drive

[@grumpygramps1451]

@@lewiscole6721. You never referred to “common sense” at all, you specifically referred to “this” (the use of jump leads). For most drivers, the use of jump leads isn’t common knowledge therefore would require a specific understanding of the subject more than just “common sense”. I’d like to think an airline pilot has a degree of common sense, but he possesses no common knowledge of how to repair an aircraft engine. Maybe he shouldn’t be flying.
