* Positive (+) Terminal: This is usually marked with a "+" sign, and is often a larger terminal. It's typically a red colored cable clamp.
* Negative (-) Terminal: This is usually marked with a "-" sign, and is often a smaller terminal. It's typically a black colored cable clamp.
Important Considerations:
* Location on the Battery: The terminals are located on top of the battery itself.
* Grounding: The negative cable should *not* always be connected directly to the negative battery terminal of the dead battery. It's safer to connect it to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the engine block or chassis, away from the battery. This reduces the risk of sparks near explosive battery gases.
* Consult Your Owner's Manual: The best place to find the precise location and any specific instructions for your year and model of Chevy Suburban is your owner's manual.
Always ensure the engine of the running vehicle is OFF before connecting the jumper cables. Connecting the cables incorrectly can cause serious damage to the electrical system and potentially injury. If you are unsure, seek assistance from a qualified mechanic.
