Huh?

Plus to plus, minus-gative to minus-gative.

Don't forget to plug the charger into the wall outlet.



This isn't difficult.

You're talking about hooking up a battery tender, aren't you? Not buying a used car on this thread, correct?

it just won fir through the hole what should i do

[Chuck A]

ok was told from another forum member just clip it and put it through just wondering why it was bigger

[Chuck A]

job was done , ended it snipping the o ring connector and putting it into the bolt, i took some pics if anyone needs to see what it looked like, because hey sometimes all it takes is a pic to understand

[Chuck A]

ok i figured it out, this should be a sticky,
problem , kept noticing charger always showing battery half charged
solution and conclusion
took charger out of battery area and left out above hood, all of a sudden battery showing fully charged , it seems the interior lights and hood interior light was draining enough so the tender was showing half, so just a update in case anyone cares:)

i know its weird but dayum if i have the hood open the tender goes into middle position the hood light uses a lot of power, but if i close the hood the light in the charger goes into maintenance mode
very weird indeed, who would have thought a light like that would use so much power

You can leave the hood up, the light will go out after 15 mins, if no doors are opened. If you open a door, the hood light will come back on for another 15 mins. Or just take the bulb out if it bothers you that much.

doesnt bother me at all just that it seems to draw a lot of power once i close the hood the light goes green
