Herman,
I don't mean to be a kill joy
but this is the way I did it when my car battery died and the Inspection light came on before its time:
Unscrew the cap and you'll see a number of connectors in accordance with the diagram below (if you have the old style connector I also have a picture).
· According to the type of plug on your car, locate the right connectors, marked red in the diagrams;
· Use the jumper wire to connect them together;
· Turn the key to ON position, without starting the car;
· When the 5 LED's in the dash light up (3/4 seconds), turn off the key. If you keep the ignition on, another 6/7 seconds, after the LED's appear, you'll perform an inspection reset, too.
· Disconnect the jumper wire.[/img]
