* Incorrect wiring: The battery in the trunk is not designed to be jumped. The wiring setup in the trunk isn't intended for jump-starting. Trying to connect jumper cables to the trunk battery can lead to serious electrical problems, potentially damaging the car's electrical system.
* Safety hazard: The trunk battery is usually in a cramped space and not easily accessible. Trying to connect jumper cables in this location can create a risk of electrical shock or fire.
* Incorrect polarity: The trunk battery might have reversed polarity compared to the battery under the hood. Connecting the jumper cables incorrectly will cause severe damage to both batteries and the electrical system.
Always jump start a car from the battery located under the hood.
If you're unsure about how to jump start a car safely, it's always best to consult a professional mechanic or someone experienced in car maintenance.
