Greetings,

Original owner of 2006 Coupe, I should know this (LOL) but while I see the marked "+" jump post on the fuse box under the hood, where is a close ground for jump starting? I have a few NOCO Lithium jump packs and keep one in the Viper, however the cables are short and I don't see any good ground even close to the "+" post....

I tried the painted shock tower cross brace but it didn't work (due to the paint I suspect). I'm tempted to drill and install a ground post on the brace if nothing else is close..

thanks!

Water pump housing works for me!

Ditto on the pump housing. That's usually where I hook up my tender as it's harder to hook up at the back of the car when parked in my garage, and I'm more likely to remember to unplug it when I see the hood is partially open, lol.

I've plugged my Battery Tender into the "cigarette lighter" port under the center arm rest for 19 years on my '06.... Always worked perfectly as the receptacle is hot all the time (vs most newer vehicles where it times out)...
