    simple, if you put the ground on first, your battery is grounded, and as you put on the positive cable, it will spark all over the place, if it’s not grounded, it wont spark :) simple hot and cold

    Be sure to observe the following order of work!
    Failure to comply with the correct sequence can lead to triggering squib disconnector batteries and electrical damage to the car.
    If the terminal of the battery mounted on the positive findings closely enough:

    - Disconnect the negative cable first-hand, from the negative terminal of the battery.

    - Then disconnect the positive cable-needle-positive terminals of the battery.
