I always carry booster cables, ½ the time for me, the other ½ helping
out others. A few years back, I was helping out someone else, and
having no luck with my cables. So we tried his - no luck either. Then
we tested the cables for continuity, and sure enough, one half of each
pair was defective. We used the good half of each set, and he started
up right away. It's only ever happened one time...
Shows how you can never assume anything.

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 604 electric problem solved
Hi,
I just solved my 604 TD's problem with the use of another car battery.
The
old one obviously has suffered a total broken-down. The only little
miracle remains why I was not able to get the car's electric come to
life
with the jump-starter cables going directly from the other car's battery
to the Peugeots main + and - wires, with the malfunctioning Peugeot
battery completely disconnected. I tried two different sets of
jump-starter cables, both of them are fairly new so it's unlikely that
they both did not work.
However, the new battery immediately solved the problem, making me very
glad :-) After pre-glowing, the car started immediately and the idle was
immediately perfect. Just if I had it parked there only yesterday. Now
that's what I call Peugeot Diesel quality :-)
I did not realise that I left a CD in the player from last summer's
holidays (I was in France and Spain with the 604)... when it started
after
a few seconds, I was immediately captured by those holiday's memories.
regards
Thomas
