When jump-starting a car with a Jeep Cherokee, the process is the same as with any other vehicle. Position your Jeep next to the car you are helping, making sure there is no contact between them, and open both hoods. Attach the red jumper cable to the positive terminals of both batteries, in any order you prefer, but starting with the car with the dead battery can help prevent damage to your Jeep in case of a short circuit. When you connect the cables, there should be no spark as the potential is the same. Next, connect one end of the black cable to the negative terminal of the good battery in your Jeep, and the other end to a part of the engine block on the dead car. Turn off non-essential electronics, then rev the engine of your Jeep while the other car attempts to start. To disconnect, simply reverse the steps.

    The solution provided is inaccurate. The battery in a Jeep Grand Cherokee is located beneath the front seat.

    Make sure you place the red cable on the battery and the black one on a metal part near the engine, not the other way around.

    To get a vehicle going using a Jeep Cherokee, you have to link up the positive and negative ends of the weak battery to jumper cables, and then connect them to the fully charged battery in your Jeep.
