⚡ Easy DIY Troubleshooting & Common Fixes

🔧
Cable melted during use.
prob_01
Common root cause: Incorrect clamp connection (reversed or loose), use on vehicles with amperage far exceeding cable capacity, or prolonged continuous use.
Step-by-step solution: Verify clamps were correctly connected to positive and negative terminals and that the donor vehicle's amperage is compatible. If the issue persists after verification, the cable may be damaged.
💡 Pro tip: Always connect positive (red) cables first, then negative (black) cables. Disconnect in reverse order. Avoid using the cable for more than 1 minute continuously.

⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation

Activate warranty if, after following all usage instructions and verifying common failure causes, the product shows an evident manufacturing defect, such as loose clamps, poorly made cable splices, or if the insulation material disintegrates without apparent cause from misuse or environmental exposure.
