When Your Car Battery Is Dead. First check the dashboard battery gauge. The only thing you need to jump-start is another car with a working car battery and a pair of jumper cablesIf you do not have a pair of them in your car I strongly recommend getting a pair.

Its a worse case scenario. 13 Oct 26 2012. Youve jumped it a lot already.
This will usually get your car going again if your battery and vehicle are in relatively good condition.
Check Your Battery Cables. If the cables are look frayed are wiggly or are falling apart. If a jump starts and keeps your car running but the car cant start again off of its own power a dead battery is likely your answer. Youre late for work and you hear the high whining sound of a car that just wont start.
