How to correctly restart a Ford vehicle if the battery is dead

Model: Ford Ford Various
Part: Battery

In this video we will see how to correctly restart a Ford vehicle whose battery has been accidentally discharged: we open the hood, and identify the positive and negative poles of the battery, and connect the positive end of the jumper cable to the positive pole of the battery, and the negative end to a ground. The example we see in the video refers to a Transit Connect; we then see the location on a Ford Ranger; then on a Transit Custom, and finally on the Transit. Making the correct connections is very important, or you risk damaging the vehicle. In the engine compartment there are stickers that will help us locate the exact points. After connecting the cables, we start the support vehicle - or turn on the booster - for a few minutes, then start our vehicle.
