This video shows you how to jump start a dead battery in your 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis. If you get into your Grand Marquis, turn the key, and your car doesn't start (you may hear nothing or a clicking sound from the engine bay), you have a dead battery and need a jump-start. Check to see if you left your headlights or an interior light on and turn the switch off. Assuming that you have a pair of jumper cables, a pair of safety glasses and a friend to give you a jumpstart, the video above will show you where to connect the cables (and in what order!) for your Grand Marquis. Once you are finished reviving a dead car battery in your Grand Marquis, make sure you drive it for at least 5 minutes before turning it off so your battery isn't dead the next time.

So what's up with the safety glasses? There is a small possibility of a battery exploding during the charging process if you don't connect the cables properly (causing a spark) and there is a bunch of hydrogen gas around the battery (car batteries emit hydrogen gas when they discharge) - this is much more of an issue with cars that haven't been driven for a long time than if you drive your Grand Marquis regularly and simply forgot to turn your lights off.

If your transmission is running low on fluid, be sure to add some - find out how to do this here!

You will need a voltmeter to check the battery voltage. Simply connect the red lead to the positive terminal (+) of the car battery, and connect the black lead to the negative terminal (-).

Before jump starting the solenoid, here are the things that you need to check:

This is quite unusual, but it happens to the best of us. If the starter motor keeps running even when you’re not cranking the engine, then you better have this checked as soon as possible. [links]

Car companies often use the same engines in different cars. They also slightly alter the styling and sell the same car by two different names (amongst other tricks to help offset development costs). [links]

If you get into your Milan, turn the key, and your car doesn't start (you may hear nothing or a clicking sound from the engine bay), you have a dead battery and need a jump-start. Check to see if you left your headlights or an interior light on and turn the switch off.

If you are leaking oil and parking on your oil spots each night, the oil is breaking down your tires' rubber here

If your blinker doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb
