... could someone please tell me how to jumpstart a Saturn station wagon? I'm looking under the hood and I don't see the blasted battery, let alone the red and black terminals on it. Thanks in advance!
What kind of Saturn station wagon (model/year?) The battery is often inside a black cover to protect it -- mine is.
In this SL2 picture it's on the left side of the car, with the terminals on the front side of the battery, near the rear of the engine compartment, under a retaining bracket.
Hmm, looks like it's the first one. An SL2 sounds about right. I'll give it a go tomorrow before going to work, the portable jumper battery -- AKA the Automotive Defibrillator, "CLEAR!" *bzzzt!* -- is charging up now. I have a feeling though that the terminals are buried, in the back of the battery, towards the dash and opposite the front of the car. Which is going to make jumping this wagon a bit of a pain.

In this picture I suspect it's under those service manuals, behind the red cone-shaped air filter (which is an aftermarket item).

Always connect the ground (black wires, negative terminals) first.
