How to Start a Car with a Dead Battery and Automatic Transmission

If your car’s battery is dead and you have an automatic transmission, you will not be able to push start it. Instead, you will need to use a jumper box or get a jump start from another car.

Using a Jumper Box

A jumper box is a portable battery that you can use to jump start your car. To use a jumper box, follow these steps:

1. Park the jumper box next to your car.
2. Connect the red positive cable from the jumper box to the positive terminal on your car’s battery.
3. Connect the black negative cable from the jumper box to the negative terminal on your car’s battery.
4. Start your car.
5. Once your car is running, disconnect the jumper box cables in the reverse order that you connected them.

Getting a Jump Start from Another Car

If you do not have a jumper box, you can get a jump start from another car. To do this, you will need a set of jumper cables. To use jumper cables, follow these steps:

1. Park the other car next to yours, with the engines of both cars turned off.
2. Connect the red positive cable from the jumper cables to the positive terminal on your car’s battery.
3. Connect the other end of the red positive cable to the positive terminal on the other car’s battery.
4. Connect the black negative cable from the jumper cables to the negative terminal on your car’s battery.
5. Connect the other end of the black negative cable to the negative terminal on the other car’s battery.
6. Start the other car.
7. Once the other car is running, try to start your car.
8. Once your car is running, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order that you connected them.

Tips

• Make sure that the jumper cables are properly connected before starting your car.
• Do not leave the jumper cables connected to your car for more than a few minutes.
• If your car does not start after you have tried to jump start it, there may be another problem with your car. You may need to have your car towed to a mechanic.

Conclusion

If your car’s battery is dead, you can use a jumper box or get a jump start from another car to start your car. However, if your car does not start after you have tried to jump start it, there may be another problem with your car. You may need to have your car towed to a mechanic.
