Jump Start a problem?

[niel]

Hi there... If I help some one and jump start a car with my PT from the Positive red post (not the one at the battery) would it damage anything in my car? I mean it was 3am and a strange neighborhood.... So I jump started a cavalier fast and then we go from the place... Did I put something electrical in danger?

Thanx
Daniel

You should be fine.

Did you notice something different with your car afterwards?

no... not at all... the thing here in my family is that we use to have a buick and once I jumpstarted my brother's Aveo... the thing whent nuts... and the tech guy needed to reflash the pcm because of that he told us... but Ive been doing this with other cars and nothing happened... thats why I was corious... but nope no problems at all

i always use the batt terminals but that's just my preference. using the positive post that's on the car wont hurt anything. That's what it's there for. But i definitely understand your concern.

i always go battery-battery - but the red post is safer.
Have "donor" car running so you don't drain it's battery down, then you have 2 cars stuck!
Never had a problem, done it dozens of times.
