How to Start Automatic Transmission Car with Dead Battery

If your automatic transmission car has a dead battery, you may be wondering how to start it. There are a few different ways to do this, and the best method will depend on the specific circumstances.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to start an automatic transmission car with a dead battery using jumper cables:

Step 1: Park the Other Car

Park the other car close to your car, but not touching it. The two cars should be facing each other.

Step 2: Connect the Jumper Cables

Connect the red jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on the dead battery. Then, connect the other end of the red cable to the positive (+) terminal on the good battery.

Connect the black jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal on the good battery. Then, connect the other end of the black cable to an unpainted metal surface on the frame of the car with the dead battery.

Step 3: Start the Other Car

Start the other car and let it run for a few minutes to charge the dead battery.

Step 4: Start Your Car

Once the dead battery is charged, try to start your car. If it starts, remove the jumper cables in the reverse order in which you connected them.

If your car does not start after you have followed these steps, there may be another problem with your car. You should have it checked out by a mechanic.

Here are some additional tips for starting an automatic transmission car with a dead battery:

If you have a manual transmission car, you can start it by pushing it.
If you do not have jumper cables, you can jump-start your car using a portable jump-starter.
If you are not comfortable working on your car, you can call a roadside assistance service.
