Question
IS THERE A CERTAIN WAY TO GO ABOUT JUMP STARTING A 96' CADILLAC

Answer
Hello,


Not really sure what you asking, but will try to answer.
I don't remember battery location on this specific year make an model, but commonly in GMs when they ran out of space under the hood, they would mount the battery under the rear seat.
Since this access was limited, in order to jump a battery, there had to be a location made under the hood for this.

Under the hood you will find thick cables running to a red plastic box. On this box and they are different configurations, so I can't be more specific, you open the cover.  You will see a stud and a nut attached to the battery cable. You will place you red battery jumper cable on the stud. Make sure it is clamped on the stud good.

Take your black jumper cable and attach it to a bolt on the engine, or a bracket, just make sure it would not be a moving piece near the fan belt. All you need is a good ground.

After you get the engine running and remove the jumper cables' just snap the cover back down on the red plastic box.
