To safely get a car jump-started, you will need a wire brush, jumper cables, and safety gloves and glasses. Move the cars in position nose-to-nose, then turn off the engine and the car lights will need to be off. Open the car hoods, look to see if any corrosion is on the terminals. Put on glasses and gloves, use the wire brush to remove the corrosion to create clean contact points.
Take the red clamps from the jumper cables, red to good battery positive terminal, red to bad battery positive terminal. Take black clamps, first the negative on the good…

The lubricating fluid in your transfer case could be contaminated. The fluid could also simply have aged and have begun the perfectly normal process of breaking down.
The key to keeping your vehicle running smoothly is no secret. Your vehicle consists of many different parts that subjected to harsh conditions day in and day out.
