Hook negative cable of jumper cables to metal on the frame of car or to a metal bracket on the motor. Normally there is a good spot to hook it to the metal right where the alternator attaches to the motor. That's where I try to hook mine too. Also make sure the cables are hooked up correctly to both vehicles. Positive to positive.
