While trying to jump start from a 2nd vehicle with no success, a guy walked up and said,"let me find you a better ground". I was in the driver's seat with the key half way out of the ignition (so it wouldn't chime). He moved the negative clamp to a spot that made the engine turn. Key to on and it fired up. Where could he have made that happen?
