...So my brother's toyota 4runner is dead strange thing is that it can be jump started but only when the negative cable is connected to a ground on the top of the engine... it will not work on the negative side of the battery.
Any ideas guys? I know this isn't a 4runner forum but this could be considered general I'm sure.

Too dark and he had to go to work but yeah i suggested he check the ground cable first thing in the morning. I had never run into this problem before so i figured i would ask here in case I'm not thinking of something it could be

X2 on the ground cable...it runs between the negative of the battery and the engine block...apparently the one on the Toyota no longer does that, at least electrically.
