Well I guess when I said "jump" I meant connect the wire to the good battery, but IU did consider actually jumping the two batteries together with a jumper cable, I tried to connect the cable to the good battery, but no luck, so now I will try to jump the batteries with the jumper cable with engine running, there should be enough charge in the low battery to test the jacks but if that doesn't work then I guess I'm back to a faulty connection. I will not keep the two connected for two long as I know that can damage a battery, actually I'm trying to see if I can borrow a charger and see if the battery will take the charge. Thanks for the help.
Update, was able to put the battery on smart charger for a couple hours got to about 12 it's now between 11 and 12, tried the jacks, nothing, jiggled the wires to the pump, nothing, I need to test for voltage to to the pump but not sure how to do that, I found this on another post about the jacks and one of the thing it says is the pump relay could be stuck, how do I check that? Also in that post it says
"You have a 12 volt battery cable supplying the solenoid. Take a 6 gauge or larger jumper wire and jump from that battery cable to the pump motor. IF the motor runs the solenoid is bad. If the motor does not run the motor is bad" but I don't get it.
One thing I noticed I turn on the engine accelerate, but I don't notice the battery being charged, isn't it supposed to be charging? I sure hope there's nothing wrong with the alternator, at least I think I know how to check that.
