Paddy94 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hey Guys. I've had my Focus sitting for over a week or so and when I went out to start it today, the battery was flat. I've seen a lot of posts saying not to jump start certain models of Focus, but I'm just wondering if it'd be safe to jump start mine? Assuming I follow the user manual and don't !Removed! it up! So the long and short is, Jump starting, safe or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Perfectly safe if you follow the direction in the manual, ie earth connect last to the earthing point and NOT to the battery direct, earth disconnect first The manual wouldn't include it if it wasn't safe to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmand00 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 There is a small but small risk of spiking the ecu when jump starting apparently but I've personally never seen it or had any problems myself.

madmole Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Only if you don't connect the earth lead last and don't connect it away from the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
