How to Jump Start a Ford Mustang Mach-E
Steps from the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E owner's manual.
- Remove the rear and left side front luggage compartment covers to reach the booster cable connection points.
- Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) jump point of the discharged battery vehicle.
- Connect the other end of the positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the booster vehicle battery.
- Connect the negative (-) jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the booster vehicle battery.
- Make the final negative (-) connection to the negative (-) ground point of the discharged battery vehicle, then unlock the driver door.
- Run the booster vehicle engine at a moderately high speed, put the discharged vehicle in park (P), and switch on ready to drive mode.
- Run both vehicles for at least three minutes, then disconnect the cables in reverse order.
- Do not connect the negative jumper cable to any other part of your vehicle; use the ground point.
- Keep the cables clear of any moving parts.
- Do not switch the headlamps on when disconnecting the cables because the peak voltage could damage the bulbs.
