2000 Cadillac CTS Engine Size unknown Two Wheel Drive Automatic 170000 miles. A friend's car is in my driveway with a dead battery and will not take a charge with my battery charger (must have less than 1 V charge according to the charger instructions or is just plain dead). I was going to try to use my jumper cables but I am not sure where the negative is. I only see the positive cable and the battery has a fuse and relay system on top. Reluctant to cause more damage I backed off and left the car. In this case would I go to a ground on the car and the positive terminal?

Do you see the battery under the hood? I think the battery is under the rear seat. The positive thing you see under the hood is probably the jump start terminal. Get back to me.
