Jump Start Dilemma
Went to jump start the XC90, connected the jumper; the positive to the positive connector next to the fuse box in the under the hood, and the negative to the strut stud. This is how I have always jump started cars, with this jumper. This time around, as soon as I connected the negative, I heard a "chukuum", and I immediately let go without any more connection. The only thought that came to mind was that my ECM got fried. When this happened, the jumper was at 98%; it went down to 0%. That is serious !!!
Isn't my connection the right way to jump start a car?
I have been jump starting cars with this unit a lot and in the same format.
What did I do wrong?
