If your battery is too weak, can your transmission fail to switch gears even when the car is running? Just starting up a car that sat for 6 years, was running fine and everything before, but it sat outside, battery is definetly shot as it barely started with a boost.

Hello, do you turn the head lights off to check the voltage or do you leave them running?

I turned them off after 2 min. Thanks for watching

Why do you attach negative first (black) instead of the other way around? I just saw two different AutoZone people do this with checking batteries and was confused. I thought it was always red first when connecting to a battery and black first when disconnecting?

if i were actually wiring something up I would probably wire the positive first.

My meter only goes to 12V 😬🤦🏻♂️

Yeah I'm having the same issue. So put it on 12????

@@CheyenneRain-bh6ht Yes, I figured you can put in on 12V and it’ll give higher than 12V range values also.
